Choosing Your Triathlon Swim Goggles
Depending on the location of your triathlon swim, you will want to choose your goggles accordingly. Open water swims require different triathlon swim goggles than closed water 
swimming pool events. Since many triathletes train in a pool to prepare for a race and would usually wear a pair of pool goggles, it is important that you train with the pair of goggles they intend to use, on race day in order to become comfortable with your triathlon swim goggles.
Features of Triathlon Swim Goggles
Your visibility during your swim is very important, triathletes need to be able to see other competitors and where they are going. Triathlon swims occur in various lighting conditions. Swim goggles can be tinted or even mirrored in the case of extremely bright conditions. If your triathlon swim goggles fog up, they will hinder your swim. The advancements of anti-fog technology and the level of suction of the eye cup will prevent fogging, both features to consider when you make your purchase.
Prescription swim goggles are available for those triathletes that wear glasses.
Comfort Is Everything
The most important component in proper triathlon swim goggle selection is how well they fit on your face. A strong wave can knock off your swim goggles in open water, and other racers can bump you causing your triathlon swim goggles to end up at the bottom of the ocean or lake floor. The design of the eye cups and head strap are most crucial for a proper fit. Eye cups need to suction to your eyes to develop a strong seal to not let in water.
