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.

Ear buds need Vaseline to seal water out. Heavy breathing with swimming but overall I would say great equipment for supporting multiple lap training.

It is waterproof for swimming both before and after a battery change per the manufacturer. I had no leakage issues after opening the case several times.

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.

Well, I'm not an advanced swimmer, so I'm not entirely sure, but the shirt is lightweight and the material is good - like a compression shirt, but not thick. I think you could swim laps in it, as surfers wear these when wading out into the ocean. It makes for a good athletic shirt, as well, as I even wore this in the class before my swim class to run a mile for a test. I didn't overheat, and it felt cool and my arms could move freely as I ran.

I'm glad you asked. I competed In USS, and later coached High School swimming, water polo, and a USS Swimming team. I bought this unit specifically to do workouts in the pool. It will take some adjusting/playing with the unit, but it will fit snugly and hold in place, under your goggle strap. I wouldn't try diving in with it though. It's amazing what it'll do for your workout intensity!

I agree with Suzers45, it is a snug fit around the top. No pain involved, but I wouldn't want to wear it for an extended period. I had no problems with water leaking.

I used this snorkel set in Kona on the big island and had no trouble with them. We also went out on the Body Glove tour boat, and they worked well for that. I think that people have too high expectations for this set. It's not a set you'd use with tanks. I had no trouble in twenty-five feet of water, on a nice day, and was able to dive down about Fifteen feet. I think I could have gone deeper if I could have held my breath longer. They are a little big for kids. My daughter had trouble with her mask leaking.

Yes, this is perfect for open water swimming and/or swimming in a very cold pool. It has a lot of flexibility. Water doesn't enter the neck of mine, and I purchased it a size too big for easier on/off.

I have used mine for swimming as it is water resistant to 50 meters. However, if the screen is wet the touch sensor that moves you between screens does not work without drying it off first. All in all, I've been satisfied with my purchase, though.

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 find it best for vertical activity. it would create drag for horizontal swimming. it is great for vertical activity though!

Yes, I use them for daily lap swimming. I swim between 1200 and 2200 yards five days a week. It works well as long as I tuck the wires into my goggle strap and then carefully take my turns. Sometimes, I come off the wall at a weird angle and I do flood my ears which makes it hard to hear. At that point I take them out and swim the rest without them - and then start again with them the next day.

No issues. I push the clips well on the band so as to give the upper part leverage/purchase. I have them just forward of the ear holes. I bought better goggles. The side pieces caused my speedo goggles to leak. The net said Aquasphere Kayenne are best and they are in fact good. No leaks minimum pressure. You need earplugs. I use EAR express pods. These are sound PPE infact (factories, building sites etc), but just happen to work very well and comfortably as water plugs. They are about $1 each reusable/washable.

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.

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.
