Goggles leaking

Try putting the staps higher on the back of your head.  Normally, a correctly put on google won't leak. 

I agree that goggles are a personal preference, but they shouldn't leak, maybe a drop or two to get a good seal around your eyes. My technique when finding goggles was going to a store and physically trying them on before purchasing. I would not use the head strap but just press the goggles against my face. If they had a good stick/suction then I knew they would be pretty close in the pool with proper fitting. There are some out there that just don't fit my eye socket shape.

Hope that helps you fitting. I personally found that the Nike Reflex II fit best for me.

Just as not everyone's face is shaped the same, not every goggle will seal to every face.  My local tri shop has a bucket of goggles for you to try on before you buy.  You basically want one that can stay suctioned to you face without the straps.  I'd look for a tri shop or swim shop that will let you try out different pairs.

I used to have this problem all of the time and it would frustrate me as I got quite a collection of goggle - all of which leaked.  Then I tried the Aqua Sphere and from that day forward, I never had a leaky goggle issue again.  I found that the mask was also much more comfortable to wear for longer swims where the regular goggles were later begin to hurt my eye area.  Give Aqua Sphere a try.

I wear the TYR Nest Pro and recommend them to all of my athletes. I have NEVER had problems with them leaking and everyone who tries them seems to like them quite a bit. I'm not sure which TYR goggles you've tried and obviously everyone is different but it may be worth giving these a shot. They aren't always found in all stores but they can be easily ordered off the TYR website if you're interested. http://www.tyr.com/shop/nest-goggles-p-557-c-68_70.html

Goodluck...

Oh wait... this isn't a bike thread.

Everyone is saying that you need to find the goggles that fit your face.  That's really not the whole story.  HillSlugger was right about the goggle test.

The goggles must be able to stay put in your eye socket without the straps just by vacuum.  If they do that you can get a leak free fit and not need to wear the straps tight. 

But that's not the whole story either.  The right goggles won't 'stick' if the nose spacing is wrong.  So there are 2 attributes that must be right:

1) goggle shape

2) nose width

Some goggles have a fixed nose width so they must simultaneously satisfy #1 and #2.  Other goggles have adjustable or interchangeable nose bridges.  If so, then #2 is a given and #1 is all that must be satisfied.

Then there's proper installation.  It's pretty obvious how to put them on and how to adjust the strap to keep them snug, but don't forget that every time you put them on your eyes you should give just a little push to burp the air out of them and create the suction.

I have tried about a dozen pair of goggles over the years and haven't really had a pair that wouldn't work without leaks if I got all of this right.  Now a diving start off the blocks is completely different.  That takes a seriously good fitting pair of goggles put on tight enough to tattoo your eye sockets, but that's not a problem many triathletes need to worry about.
