In the pool, this works like a charm. Dunk the goggles in the water to get them wet, drain the pool water out, then spit on each of the lenses (for real, not just a polite spit). Rub the spit everywhere, dunk one more time. Put them on.

+1 to rhane. Instead of spitting in them you can also lick the entire inside, both give the desired result. Good Luck :-)

baby shampoo.
coat the inside of the lens prior to swimming. Rinse the lens to remove the soap but don't rub it.
This has worked very well for me. Even if you don't get all the soap out, you won't get bloodshot eyes like you might with other defog products.

Ewwwww... Sorry. Just had a flashback to when I coached 'the licker' - who would lick his goggles inside and out before practice.
A few (better, in my opinion) options -
(1) I have heard good things about dish soap and baby shampoo (spread, rinse and wear). Might be worth a try.
(2) Swim shops sell anti-fog spray.
(3) Or just be preventative... Don't permit the inside of your goggles to get wet, don't put the goggles on your forehead to get steamy... etc.
(4) Upgrade to a goggles that fit your face better and won't fog.

very important that you get the "no tear baby shampoo". not saying that anyone I know has ever done otherwise... just heard once that there was a guy who knew a guy...

ok, aren't all baby shampoos "no tears"? Not having a child I would assume this to be the case.

In the pool I'm a licker but in open water I spit and don't rinse after either (just shake them out really well). Something about the lake water prevents me from licking my goggles even though I am bound to drink about half a gallon during my swim. To each his own.

I heard that cutting a jalapeño in half and rubbing it on the inside of your googles works really well...personally I like using a habanero though...

Hack-thooie! Spit works great!

Hi all-
Been away for a long time but finally getting back into the tri-mode again
Does anyone have any suggestions for foolproof anti-fogging strategy for goggles? I just bought a pair of Kaimans and no matter what I do I can't seem to keep them clear!
Thanks in advance
