I live in Joliet, and i'm looking for a place to buy new swim goggles. The big sports stores don't have a very good selection so i was hoping to find a swim and/or tri store to go to. there has got to be one in Naperville or somewhere in that area, they seem to have an avid tri community up there.

Most of the swimming stores up in the 'ville have gone out of business. Kiefer was at Ogden and Raymond, they closed down. So did the Swim Team Store on 75th and Naper.

I'd recommend Kiefer.com (a Zion, IL company) or swimoutlet.com. I think Endure It might sell some stuff, too. Good luck.

it annoying that there is a trek store on 59, two doors down is a branch of the Naperville running company there is a perfect spot for a swim store right between them.

Fleet Feet Stores carry some tri gear. Also try looking up multi-sport stores.

Believe it or not, try Marshall's or TJ Maxx. I was at Marshall's on Clark/Halsted this past weekend and they had a huge amount of TYR swim goggles. Not all Marshall's may have them but you may luck out.

Their bike shop used to be in burr ridge. They decided to have both shops in the same strip mall, kinda one stop shopping. Its nice to be able to just stop for bike stuff in a hurry or a pair of googles at the other store. That being said, I have become friends with all of them and a stop at the stores turns into a couple hour stop, chatting about tris
