goggles and swim stuff

Don't know about the goggles, but I have advice for the swim suit.

I bought a pair of jammers, but quickly found them annoying.  I now have a pair of "Square" shorts.  The legs are about 2 inches long.  They feel much better than the jammers and dont look as scary as a speedo.  I bought a Speedo Brand with the "Endurance" fabric.  I bought it online.  I will only wear black for my tight shorts, colors are much too revealing.

I was actually just going to ask that myself (the swede question, not the speedo one).  All I own are a pair of legit, put-them-together-myself red swedes and a pair of tinted socket rockets.  I've sworn by swedes for the past 8 years, but now that I'm crossing over into the world of triathlon from the world of competitive swimming, I'm starting to have my doubts - if I'm going to get nailed in the face by a stray foot, wouldn't it be better with some padding?

I'll be using my socket rockets at my first tri this weekend.  If they're permanently embedded in my face afterwards, I guess we'll have our answer

I'm not a fan of Swedes for tris.  (But they look sweet!).  I used to wear them all the time but it's not worth it for the reason mentioned...the getting kicked in the eye factor.  My current goggles are Speedo Vanquisher and I'm happy with them.  Though allegedly anti-fog, they fog, so plan for a remedy.  Plenty in the forums on that issue.

 If you're swimming outdoor in the dark, I'd go clear...but I don't swim much/ever in the dark, so that's just a guess as to that over amber.

i'm not planning on racing in these goggles, just use them for morning workouts.  I'll use the race-techs for racing.

I think I'll order a set of socket rockets

Which would be why they are every female swimmer's favorite sight
