🥽 Open Water Goggles 101: Stop the Fog, See the Buoys, Swim With Confidence 🌊
Share
Foggy lenses. Leaky straps. Glare from the sun. If you've ever struggled to sight a buoy in a race, your goggles might be to blame — not your swimming 🧠
Choosing the right goggles for open water is a game-changer for confidence, navigation, and performance. The pros don't guess — they test and match goggles to conditions 🧪🏊♂️
Here's how to choose YOUR perfect pair:
🔍 Lens tint matters:
☀️ Bright sun? Go for mirrored or polarized lenses
🌥️ Cloudy race morning? Opt for yellow or amber lenses
💡 Night swims or low light? Clear lenses are your go-to
🧩 Fit > style:
Look for a low-profile suction fit (no leaks!), soft silicone gaskets, and adjustable nose bridge if needed. Comfort = no panic in cold water or pack starts.
🏁 Anti-fog tech:
Trust modern coatings + rinse with baby shampoo pre-race — not saliva (trust us on this 🤢)
🌊Try before race day:
Test them in actual conditions, especially if your race has surf, glare, or choppy water.
Great goggles = clarity, calmness, and confidence. And in triathlon, that's everything.
