A guide to some of the swim goggles available for swimmers. Have some suggestions for types to add - let me know - swimming.guide@about.com
Sable RS922 Swim Goggles
The Sable Water Optics RS922 Swim Goggles have amazingly good optics, but I did not like the goggle's field of view. I felt like I was swimming in a tunnel. These goggles did not leak, were easy to adjust, and the view was crystal clear, but I could not get over being able to see the eyepiece frame in my peripheral field of view.

Aquasphere Sealmask
A different concept in goggle design, featuring clear, tinted, or mirrored lenses. I have used it in open water swims and triathlons - it's a great product. Also endorsed by several world class triathletes. It is comfortable, has a 180 degree field of vision, and won't leave you with raccoon eyes.

Swim Goggles - More to consider...
The most important goggle factor is fit, also known as not leaking. You will need to try out several different types. While at the pool, borrow different styles from other swimmers; tell them why before you ask and you should have no problem, since most of us swimmers are a friendly group.

Swim Goggles Protect Your Eyes
Swim goggles are not a mandatory accessory for a Triathlon the way your swim cap or your bike helmet are. But most people will want to use them anyways. Wearing goggles when you swim helps protect your eyes from the chemical make up of the water you're in and also from anything that might hit your eyes while you're swimming.
