Tip of the Week: Loose Goggles

October 6 , 2008

Tired of your goggle strap loosening over time and wearing out due to exposure to chlorine or sun?  One way to stop this is to wear your swim cap over your goggles.  This way, most of your goggle strap is covered by the swim cap.  In addition, the cap relieves pressure from the elastic of the strap which makes the goggles last longer.  If you’re still not convinced, consider this.  A goggle strap under the swim cap creates a smoother surface over your head, which will slightly reduce water drag/friction.  It may not be much, but every bit counts!
