Is this good for practice lap swimming? I need one that is comfortable for long swimming, doesn't leak and doesn't get foggy.

I bought these and they are quite comfortable and doesn't leak. Only issue is that the strap broke in less than 2 month of the use. Straps are hard to find and if at all you find them, they are expensive.

Yes, absolutely. They feel silky, no leaking (once you fit them to your head), no fogging up. You can swim forever with these goggles.

I use these for lap swims, they seem to fog up a little some times but if I take them off and swish the fog with my thumb it doesn't usually fog up again. My swims usually last between 30 and 45 minutes.

I think they're pretty good. I use them for hour-long practices and they're very comfortable and rarely leak. Normally any leak just requires readjusting them once and then they're good the whole practice. As for being foggy, they still fog up as much as my last pair of Speedos, so that would be the only downside. I still feel like they're not quite as foggy as other goggles I've used, though.

Thanks everyone for all your input. I was about to purchase the BB but am now decided on the GWF. But does anyone know if this is waterproof and can be worn while swimming?

I am a large guy (6 ft 2 and 220Lbs). I also wear a size 7 3/8 hat. I find these goggles to be very comfortable. I wear them while swimming three hours a week and have never found them to be uncomfortable. I do use an antifog solution so fogging is not an issue. Hope this has been of some help.

All goggles leak from my experience...the only question is when. Or the lenses get all gooey and filmy and therefore are worthless. So there is a dance between which will fail first. I swim everyday so goggles last me only a month or so. The larger aqua sphere goggles leak the fastest as they have more rubber surface to potentially get exposed to the elements and deteriorate. The smaller goggles, as these are are comparable to Speedos and TYRs

I'd say the air swimmers are better. They are the original and not a cheap knockoff. Had I known that at the time, I would have gotten the air swimmers. From what I've read on the reviews, they are made with better quality.

A dive skin might be better than a wetsuit for lap swimming. However, I did a lot of diving with this and found it to be very comfortable and 'effortless,' so lap swimming might be okay if you are willing to strain your muscles slightly against its natural tendency to spring back to neutral position. The size is perfect for me - it is a size 14 and I am a size 14/16.

I do not snowboard so I do not have experience to apply. I think it may be the case that the strap is not strong enough to maintain placement on your head given the intensity I would think the sport would create. You may want to get a stronger elastic strap. The goggles are comfortable and light weight. I have not had any problem with fogging.

It stays pretty secure on my knee if fitted properly even when I am pouring with sweat. I suggest you carefully consider the size you get to make sure it is right. As far as swimming I would assume it would stay still.

I think if you are a strong, fast swimmer they may come loose..... This could be remedied by using goggles to secure them, or a swimming cap. I do a fast side stroke and I haven't had any problem with them coming off while swimming. I also do a slow- medium freestyle and I haven't had a problem with them. I love them....for the price, give them a try. You could always use them for relaxing pool time or work-outs...

No waterproof headphones are included in this listing. Our new Swimbuds Sport headphones are the best headphones in the market for lap swimming and running in the rain. Since every person's ear is different, Swimbuds Sport has 4 different styles of earbuds to find the best fit to seal out water. Original Swimbuds also work great for lap swimming and create a watertight seal in your ear to keep out water even when submersed, but only have one style of earbud. HydroHarmony headphones are good for water sports like surfing or water aerobics, but do not create a watertight seal in your ear. Scott

The suit is fairly stretchy, and easier to swim in than a full suit. I haven't really tried to swim many laps with it on, although I have worn it in the pool and swum a few laps. It wouldn't be my first choice to swim laps with a wet suit on, but once you're in the water, this suit is comfortable.

Hi. Bought this for my husband and he uses it for snorkeling and sometimes swimming. He really likes it.

Yes, Lukewarm water is fine but I'd also consider paying $5 more for Bluewave or something else with a little tip to have air flow for smooth water flow. This one, I have to leave the cap slightly open vs Bluewave brands w an air breather.

It's pretty breathable but still may fog up your goggles. If I'm going pretty fast then it won't fog up but at stand still it does sometimes. You may want to go with one the has a completely open nose.

I use the Finis for swimming laps for about 30 minutes. I do not use for water aerobics because I can't hear the instructor. As long as it is charged, I see no reason for it not to withstand 1 1/2 hours. It seems to be quite sturdy when attached to goggles.

Comfort mostly if you plan on wearing the fins for more than a few minutes. It also gives you a snug fit otherwise the fins can move a bit when you swim. Also great if the fins are a little big it helps you to fit better.

We are using it in the pool for the first few weeks of swim team. Our outdoor pool just opened, and our practices start next week, and I'm expecting it to still be to chilly to swim without something like this :) I just plan to make sure to rinse it after every practice.If you are asking if it will be too warm in the summer, I'm not sure about that. It would be warmer than just a regular swim suit.
