Hay taren Just want to thank you for the videos. Found out your videos when triathlon sort of interested me 2 years ago. I watched all your videos since then. I dedicated my entire 2017 to prep for a race this year. With the help of your videos and a crappy set of gear, i somehow found myself joining a sprint tri. Today, i just finished my first triathlon. Thank you taren for the tips. You helped me accomplish what a few still dreams of doing.i hope you keep up the vids because those "dreamers" might be your next Ironman. If i didnt live half across the world in the Philippines i would have thanked you personally lol

[@TriathlonTaren]

Aw, thanks so much Kevin and congrats on your first triathlon!! That's so exciting!

[@kevinharrisco4723]

Triathlon Taren you're the BEST coach i never got to see personally but made the most impact on my trainings! I couldnt thank you enough man!!

[@jpcinema4574]

Taken, you are just so easy to follow and the way you effortlessly describe things makes learning this stuff so much easier. Like talking with a close friend. Keep em coming!!

[@Andie_USA]

Taren, you are a mind reader! THANK YOU! I was just about to send you a note asking for help with goggles ....did my first spring tri in open water (lake) yesterday and OMG my goggles were a piece of “shirt”....my swim time was really bad because my goggles were sooooo F foggy....I could not see anything 😩 I am ordering the ROKA ones RIGHT NOW and the anti-fog liquid....my next sprint tri is in 2 weeks and I will test it out - keep you posted! 😁

I have 2 aqua sphere kaiman in mirror and amber. My amber is very clear and more fore dark day's and give lots more clear vision in the wather (look them up you see very different from your amber color)

[@EricGlenn]

Great info again. It's amazing how much i constantly learn from your site. Thank you.

[@brandonscheer3151]

Love my aquasphere’s. I have a tinted and clear pair and love the field of view.

[@sterlingtimes]

Jolly good. The discount code worked. Here is the big problem. If you wear glasses, you have to scan without wearing them. But what is you cannot see the 'phone without them? I think that I have managed to scan sufficiently, but I am not confident that all worked correctly.

I have been looking for swimgogles for a Whileso thanks for the advise

[@garethfachgau]

I use white toothpaste to clean my goggles, let it go hard then wash it off. Cheap and works as good or if bot better than the anti fog sprays

[@stephaniexyz3781]

I love my MP xceed mirror goggles for open water and outdoor pool swims. They are very low in profile, fit well and look really cool. Unfortunately they are quite expensive.

[@Crymerge]

I find that there is no need for any kind of anti-fog spray. I have tried most and none of them work as well as just spitting in your googles. Best part, spit is free.

[@sheenawilliams7307]

Best set of goggle . Is the speedo speed socket polarised it’s really sad they don’t sell them anymore the have perfect vision and size not huge but brilliant field of vision. And there gold and black 👌

[@MichaelLaing71]

I must admit to only having one pair of goggles, the Aqua Sphere Kayenne. Which are pretty basic but have never let me down. Now if my body would just do the same, I might be able to get back to doing some training.

[@fifthcircle1]

Michael Laing Yes! Love my AquuaSpheres! They just work. Those Roka X1's look bad ass though. 👌

[@manuelcalleja92]

Have the clear Kayenne's also. Amazing. Great for the pool and over cast open lake days. The large Rokas looks great though for sunny open water days.

[@paulbarrows3244]

I also have the Aqua Sphere Kayenne Clear and Polarized lenses, Love them....

[@isragold1]

Aqwa sphere kayenne

[@triathlonlifestyle8565]

Taren, with swim goggles it's like with any other equipment (especially bikes). The correct number is always n+1 ;)

[@Kritic2002]

Taren, a ​link for items, please.

[@warrenbailie2962]

Cool vid thanks TT

[@tylerpruett5675]

What about the Roka R1??

[@0SKBooth0]

False. You need two pair of swedes, one for inside, one for outside. Less than $15 total and will last you decades. I’ve been eating one pair for 12 years, another for 8.

[@0SKBooth0]

whoops...wearing!

[@andyvux8256]

@@0SKBooth0 Swedes means Swedish goggles, right? Sorry because I've not known much about goggles

[@clintwinckler884]

Taren, you have said in another video before to use soap not the anti-fog spray, have you changed your opinion?

[@TriathlonTaren]

Both work!

[@BrOnXaS]

2 pairs at least is a must. Nothing worse than tearing your goggles 5 minutes before the race and having to swim without them!

[@deegee5809]

I bought my wife a pair of arena cobra core, so she could OWS with me. I however I will only use swedes. The seals will never go bad, and since I have used the same two pairs (mirrored and ambers) for the last 30 years, they fit my eye sockets perfectly.

[@andyvux8256]

I'm just a new swimmer and I dont know much about goggles. Can you please tell me some benefits when using swedish goggles, based on your experiences?

[@eduardocelisMD]

Have you tried or may comment on the Roka R1?

[@eduardocelisMD]

The reason why I mentioned that is because the R1 have a very good visibility and they are slick and comfortable enough without being bulky/big, and of course they come in all different lens colors. Comments?

[@davidrios7987]

For the Roka googles which tint would you recommend for each pair?

[@TriathlonTaren]

I literally say it right in the video.

[@davidrios7987]

Triathlon Taren oh my bad I meant to say which other tints would you recommend like the cobalt for example?

[@univision1489]

[@ironmantooltime]

I checked and unfortunately Roka not available in Europe. Even im.com won't ship to UK!

[@TriathlonTaren]

WHAT?! Why???

[@ironmantooltime]

Triathlon Taren i know dude, there was i about to bite the bullet on a tt recommendation... Denied!!!

[@zedmangaming3401]

I have ordered some from the international roka site, shipping to UK is an extra £20 but they look decent enough. Will update you once they arrive

[@ironmantooltime]

Zedman Gaming ok cheers yea shipping is a bit ouch. Have a race this weekend so really need something sooner. Let me know how they are though cheers!

[@zedmangaming3401]

ironman tooltime including customs turns out total for the goggles is £50, so $65USD. They will arrive tomorrow hopefully, I hope they’re decent enough in sunlight as they aren’t polarised..

[@ironmantooltime]

Swedes for the pool, plus a pair of race goggles. Swedes don't need to wear tight and won't leaves marks on ur eyes.

Didn’t even mention polarized 🤦‍♂️ “mirror finish” doesn’t reduce glare, polarization does

[@Quakespeise]

i have 5 fucking sets of Googles and i always get water inside........ unless i get at least 1 set of Fitting Googles Swimming in open water always suck :)
