Six Ways to Keep Your Goggles from Fogging Up

Fogging is a problem, even with the best swimming goggles.
Even the best swimming goggles are susceptible to fogging.

You may invest in the best swimming goggles, but you will still likely find they are prone to fogging while you swim.  This is due to the changes in temperatures and the moisture that exist in the swimming world. Whether you choose to use anti fog spray for goggles or another solution, there are numerous ways you can cut down on this phenomenon.

Anti Fog Spray

One of the most effective ways of keeping your goggles free of fog is by purchasing an anti fog spray, such as the Speedo anti-fog solution. This spray will coat the glasses and help keep moisture from building up on the lenses. In addition to protecting against fog, it also cleans the dirt and chemicals from the lenses for a clear view.

Baby Shampoo

Baby shampoo is good for more than just cleaning baby’s head. In fact, when you put a small drop in your goggle lenses, rub it around and rinse it out, you will reduce the amount of fog you experience.

Toothpaste

Another shocker, toothpaste can also help eliminate the fog you may get with even the best swimming goggles. A tiny dab of non-abrasive toothpaste applied to the inside of the goggles and buffed out with a soft cloth will recreate a barrier that prevents fogging.

Flame

While it’s important not to melt your goggles using this trick, a naked flame from a lighter can help dispel any fogging. Simply hold the flame about five centimeters away from the lens and circle it around until the lenses are cleared. This will burn off the film that some manufacturers use on their goggles.

Water

One of the reasons your goggles may fog is due to the difference in temperature between the air and the water. If you don’t have anything with you and need to get rid of the fog, dip your goggles into the pool before you take a swim. This will change the temperature of the goggles to match the water so you won’t have to deal with fogging.

Spit

In a worst case scenario, you can even use your spit to get rid of the fog. All you need to do is spit into your goggles, rub it around and then rinse it off in the sink or the pool.

Just because you buy the best swimming goggles doesn’t mean you won’t experience fog. These tips will help you eliminate the fog so you can see more clearly in the water.
