Mirrored Goggles for Indoor Swimming? Speed Socket Reviews?

I am thinking about getting the green mirrored speed socket goggles by Speedo. I was wondering if they would be too dark for indoor swimming, and any other general reviews, good or bad, about the speed sockets themselves. Thanks!

I want to quit swimming?

Before you say "Don’t quit, it get’s easier", hear me out.
I wanted to try something new and a sport, because I’m in high school, so I joined the team, but now, it interferes with EVERYTHING. I can’t hang out with my friends, go shopping, or even do schoolwork (when I’m in an honor’s class and it is madd hard), and I have to get up at 7:45 am on saturday, and we stay until 3 pm, and I’m sad because I wanted to do drama since 5th grade, and tryouts are next thursday at 2, but since I have swimming I can’t do it. I skipped today because I didn’t want to go, and don’t call me lame, but I cried yesterday because my coach is a bitch, and she yelled at me so much, and my muscles hurt, and I’m the only person who’s never done it before, so I am the slowest, and I’ve been there for a month, and my times for a 100 FREE are 3-4 minutes, while the other lanes finish in :30-1:30. I HATE it so much, I just want to do something else, but I can’t just quit, I want to finish the season, but I just hate the sport, and I spraint my ankle doing it, and my coach acts like I’m lying, but I’m not.
And my Head Coach (he’s nice, the assistant one is the mean one), is my Honors Bio teacher for the whole year, and I’d feel too guilty if I left, but I still want to leave.

So I made a final list of pros and cons

Pros:
Get to see friends
Have something to do after school

Cons:
Coach is mean
Too tired to to school work
Can’t keep up with school work
Go to school from 7:25-5:45
Spraint my ankle
Only varsity level is available
Have to run a mile every day, and I get pretty good times, but the seniors push me and stuff
Have to carry two bags a day, one for school and one for swimming.
My goggles and cap got stolen, so I cant do anything right now anyways
I have gym EVERYDAY for an HOUR, so I have to do that along with swimming EVERYDAY.

Our first meet is on the 11th, so I have to quit before then.
I don’t know what to do though, like my mom says, I can’t make up my mind, even though the cons outweigh the pros.
@ Francis – That is what I’m worried about, that if I quit, I will fail myself and my team.
No one told me what to do about my coach being my teacher.

Learning Swimming, need a little help..?

I am learning swimming. Getting better.

Ears. How to protect them to let water go in them? I have those one inch water stopper…any other way?

I use a nose water blocker, it is a small plastic thing which press your nose tightly, while you swim…I hate when water goes into my nose, the feeling is VERY weird.

I use a plastic cap because it keeps my hairs dry and also , wet hairs make me uncomfortable while swimming.

EYES…I use goggles, but they are grey….and I will buy new white ones. I use contact lens while swimming, and goggles makes them safe and water dont irritate my eyes.

SKIN…is there to bother for skin diseases?

Please guide me, I just want to use comfortable wears to swim comfortably.

And on daily basis, how many maximum hours one should be in water?

and any other advice, are also welcome!

Mazda London Triathlon tips (1st Time)?

Hey guys,

This is my first ever triathlon and I’m a bit apprehensive about the whole thing, and I’m a bit worried I might be a bit out of place! lol

Have you got any tips for things like traning advice, the transitions and just the race in general. It will be very much appreciated!

I’ve got things like goggles, swimming cap, running shoes and my wetsuit should be with me in the next few days! Exciting!
At the moment I’ve got a basic bike which I use to got from a to b, but I am presuming that I will need some sort of road bike and bike trainers, otherwise I might look like a plonker. I’m sorry if im being completely stupid, but ive never done this before, and I want to get it right.

So any advise would be brilliant! many thanks.

Why was my friend's daughter disqualified from her swim meet for touching her goggles?

My friend’s daughter was entered in a swim meet. At the beginning of the race, when she jumped into the water, her goggles apparently slipped and she readjusted them. She was disqualified for this, does anyone know why?

swimming and contact lenses?

so at my school were starting swimming for pe, but i wear soft contact lenses.

will i be fine if i swim with goggles on, like my contact lenses wont fall out or anything?

and if goggles dont work what else do you suggest (like just taking contacts off)?

thanks

How do you get rid of circles under the eyes from swimming, like goggle marks?

ive been swimming competitively for a few years now and i just noticed i have these goggle marks under my eyes. its not a rash and its not red it looks like bags under my eyes but they are not puffy it just looks like i havent been sleeping well or i didnt get enough sleep. some of my friends at school even say i look tired everyday. its bothering me now and i dont know how to get rid of it. my goggles arent tight and i dont want to change my goggles (womens vanquisher) is there something i can do besides putting cold water over the eyes?
i usually weasr conceler under my eyes, it helps a little bit but not a lot people still think i look tired (i get enough sleep like at least 8 hrs.

Swimming with contacts?

I’m wearing a contact in my right eye, which i just got today. If I wear them while swimming (for one and a half hours), will I have any problems? Should I take them out? At least a few times during each swim my goggles will leak a little and some water will get into my eyes, like during diving.

How do I get my goggles to stop fogging up?

I just bought new goggles and they fog up badly every lap. I tryed spit and that doesn’t work. I’m use to just swimming bared eyed but I thought goggles would be better for my eyes.
Very hard to see? I see much better top water with just my eyes. Anyway any suggestiongs swimmers?
