Reporting back from my baby shampoo experiment...excellent visibility, I very much enjoyed being able to see the buoys all the way down the lake yesterday evening, but my 'tiniest smear' wasn't tiny enough in my left goggle which led to a fairly sore eye! Much better now but definitely one to be careful of.

I have also tried it with good results, although part of the coating has started to come off my Zoggs Predators. Could be a coincidence as I have had them for bloody ages. Worked well in my prescription goggles, though, which I wore one day as you lot shamed me into it :)

I have never tried anything in my goggles. Just rinse after each swim.

Maybe I should give the baby shampoo a go.

Quite a different experience at my swim coaching this morning - some drills with a belt around my waist, pulling a cable down the pool, with increasing amounts of water added to make the cable heavier. Apparently the idea was to get me pushing back throughout the stroke, as I tend to bail out once my hand has gone past my hip. The bit where you kick gently on your back and it tows you back to the end is quite relaxing!

Hope everyone is still swimming well :-)

Ooh I like the sound of being towed back 🤣

My coach calls me a hand flapper as I also 'give up' past the hip.
