Not All Goggles are Created Equal

Not all goggles are created equal.  If you are an experienced swimmer, you know this to be true.  You probably have a favorite make or model of goggles.  If you've been swimming long enough, you might have a pair of over-worn or "vintage" goggles that you refuse to part with, due to the fact that the specific model has been discontinued (RIP Speedo Aquaracers, circa 2007) and, let's be honest, you're a bit nostalgic.

Perhaps you or your child are new to swimming.  You might be of the opinion that goggles are torture devices, designed to pinch your nose and squish your eyes, and no matter how much you tighten the straps, water still gets inside the eyes sockets.  Well, here's a thought:  Not all goggles are created equal.  Yep, it's true.  In fact, you probably have the wrong goggles to fit you or your child's face.

Here are some great resources on finding the right goggles for you or your child:
