One of the most common questions we get is how do you make sure your goggles don’t fall off during a dive?

Well here are three tips that can help.

Your goggles fall off because they create resistance with the water and it pushes them back. so…

1- Tighten the strap.
The first thing and perhaps the most obvious is to tighten the strap. I only do this in swimming competitions, because it can be uncomfortable to have your goggles so tight during practice for that long. But in a swim meet or a set with a dive you can have them a little bit tighter since it doesn’t last that long.

2- Put your goggles first.
Sometimes the water pulls your goggles from the bands, because they create a little more drag. To fix this put your goggles on before you put your swim cap. The swim cap will create a smoother surface and the strap will remain in place.

3- Put your head down.
If you put your chin down by your chest and have a tight streamline, there will be less turbulence. Your hands will cut the water for the rest of your body and it will be a smoother dive overall. Now you can swim faster and your goggles won’t fall off.

However, let me remind you that even Michael Phelps’s goggles can malfunction. In the 2008 olympics on his way to 8 gold medals, his goggles didn’t fell off but they got filled with water. So he couldn’t see, but he would never let a piece of plastic get in his way. He swam the 200 butterfly in a world record, because he had memorized the race by heart, he knew exactly how many kicks and stroke he had to do, so he did it. The lesson here is that if you put in the effort no piece of equipment can stop you.
