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.

This product is perfect for that! I do deep water lP swimming in the pool and it allows you the movement and the flexibility to do what ever you want! Make sure you keep it tight around your waist, and always check that! I have two of them and I would think you will be happy with this product!

Not recommended for swimming with. Doing well on a rain. I was on motorcycle with him on my back, my MSI stayed dry together with rest of the things in it. And it was raining fine.

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.

I would stray away from this one. I bought it for long dirt bike rides where you can get extremely exhausted miles away from water. This one leaked since the first time I tried it. It was very cold out and my back was soaked. Also, the nozzle was a big let down. You actually have to open and close it like a pop-up water bottle. My buddy bought a fox brand water pack and has had it for over a year, on multiple rides. He has fallen on it and it has never leaked. His nozzle is also a great design. It is a soft material and all you do is bite it gently and suck. No hands needed. Hope this helps. I would stray away from this one.

I have used these as a backup pair for airsoft and hadn't had real fogging issues, but I'd go ahead and use anti-fog if you have any and if not there is a trick with dish soap you can look up.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

Swimming laps might be better with a vest. I'm very cold natured so I would use it for laps at 84 degrees, but I think a vest would be enough for most people after getting warmed up. Keep in mind it does run very small. You wouldn't want it too tight for that activity. I wasn't hot in it riding bikes at a casual pace for an hour after snorkeling. It's very flexible but it's still a wetsuit material.

the one I got was not working properly...it was older with old setting on it...it is suppose to be fine for swimming..

I use for lap swimming. You'll need to dork around with ear phones to find ones that work best with your ears. I'd like to try the wrap phones instead of the "dangle" wires just to see. Clips nicely to goggle strap. There is a period of trial and error, getting your playlist, volume adjusted-- but I'm 50- after a few on & offs in the pool I'm a pro and love it. I use it kayaking and while doing house work, walking. It's a great tool!

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

Probably M for Tri swimming. Lengthwise M is the right size but you may feel too tight. But it has to be tight so that no water flowing through.Hope it stretch out after using for a while.

It's the price for one. I have four and use one each day then wash them in the dishwasher. They don't sweat and liquids stay nicely cold. I've been using the ones I have for over a year and there has been no fogging or leaking. When I originally ordered them one came with some sticky stuff at the bottom I couldn't get out. Amazon was great about accepting the return and sending another glass.

Jose has a point, but thermal isn't for laps. I have a variety of wetsuits including a plain neoprene short suit with long sleeves and a sleeveless 3/4" terry lined suit for California Deep Diving. This shirt you want is perfect for laps, so what if it is ALSO UV protection, it keeps drops of water off your arms as you lift them from the pool so cold air doesn't hit your wet arms, thus you stay warm. UV is a bonus but not your focus. Treat yourself, O'Neill has a great reputation !!

It really depends on the shape of your face. In my case, for instance, as I'm Asian, the regular size is good enough. I also sweat a lot and as the water prevents sweating in swimming in all water submersed parts of my body, I tend to have a sweaty face and the goggles usually slip if the adherence is not good. The Aqua Sphere products attend all my needs. The regular one is good for me. However, for my son (also Asian) the very smaller fit is better. My experience shows that females (Caucasian or Asian) prefer the regular one. When swimming, the best way is not to have a very tight goggle. I've been swimming for over 20 years (pools and sea).The only problem I was never able to solve is the fogging. However, the tighter you use your goggles the foggier it gets. Hope I've helped.

Don't know about lap swimming, but if it stayed in my husbands ears when he dumped his catamaran, I would think they would stay in just swimming, they fit tight in your ears and come with different size buds to fit any size ear. Hope I was able to help.

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.
