How do I keep my swimming goggles from misting up?

What everybody is saying is right, well about licking them.\nI have been swimming for about 7 years now, and there is only one true way to prevent them from fogging up. When you get in the water, put the inseide lenses inside the water. That will get water on them.\nNow, you want to lick or spit inside your goggles.\nThat will prevent them from fogging up, at least for a while. \nWhen they fog up again, which they will if you take them off, lick them again. It truely does work.

fog happens in goggles when your face heats the air pockets inside the lens to a higher temp than the water or the oppisite. there arent may ways to prevent this. some swimmers allow a little bit of water into the pocket to keep them from fogging as much, but this trick soon fades, but lasts longer than spit. if you are swimming in water approx. the same temp as your body this wont happen at all.

Try not to close them. It'll hurt at the beginning but you'll get used to it in two days of swimming.

To keep your windows and mirrors from fogging up you need to clan them with saving cream.  I know it sounds crazy but it really works.  I saw it on tv.  I'm telling you try it.

well i find that spiting in them and then rubbing and then rinsing doesnt work\n1. you can buy anti-fog sollution\n2.(what i do and many other competitive swimmers) cover the inside of your goggles with saliva using your tongue (i swim about 5 hours a day and they dont fog up during this time)\n3. buy new goggles with anti-fog solution and DONT TOUCH THE INSIDE (but it does wear out after a while

either get a q-tip and get the water out by letting the qtip soak it up, but heres another great way\ni know it may sound like im trying to make you look stupid, but im not...TRUST ME, IT WORKS!\nhop on one foot, have your head tilted to the side, and hit the side of your head your trying to get the water out of...like if the right side of your head was down as you were jumping, hit the right side of your head, but dont hit it too hard!

its temporary\nbut if you wore goggles it could be avoided possibly\n\nNO do not put eye drops in, because there are chemicals in the eye drops and you don't want to mix those chemicals with the chemicals already in your eyes, it could be dangerous for your eyes

True, you can use spit but it really doesn't seem to be as effective as defog that is sold in dive shops and some sporting goods stores. Baby shampoo works well too. My favorite is liquid dish soap! I know, it doesn't sound like a good idea but hear me out.\n\nWet your goggles and place one drop for goggles. Masks may need more. Spread the liquid evenly. RINSE WELL (I give my mask a few shakes in the water) to avoid stinging later on. Do not use your fingers to rinse because you will remove the film. Your fingers have oils that will cause your goggles to fog too.\n\nThe reason I like dish soap because it is cheap and readily available. Most are biodegradable.\n\nWhy it works...after washing, dish soap leaves a 'sheeting film' that prevents dishes from leaving water spots on dishes. It is gone after it evaporates. When you wear a mask or in this case goggles it traps moisture inside so it doesn't evaporate.\n\nYou may have to reapply if you remove your goggles for too long or often. Remember to rinse it well. I have used this for hundreds of diving customers with no allergic reaction but if you do get irritation, discontinue.

I wear my contacts when i swim, however i have lost one before, so now i wear goggles or am particularly careful when swimming under water.

The fit of your contacts will determine if your contact lenses fall out or not. More likely than not, they should fall out if you open your eyes completely underwater. If you have the "breathable", soft or disposable lenses, its not really a good idea to open your eyes with contacts on in chlorinated water. The lenses will absorb the minerals/chlorine in the water and it will be stuck in your lenses. Although, small traces of chlorine are not harmful to the eyes, extended periods will irritate or dry out your eyes.

Toothpaste.  Smear it on the goggles then rinse off with cold water.  Also helps with eyeglasses that fog. How I know that I will never know!?! =)

They make antifog towelletes that you can use that work OK. You can purchase them at autoparts stores and gas stations usually. just make sure you wipe down the goggles and then give them some time to dry before putting them on. Otherwise spitting in them seems to do the trick unless you are grossed out by spit. And don't wear a coat with them on unless it is really cold in the lab.

put up tons of buoys that block them from getting too close to your pier. Put up a portable screen to block their view...they should get the hint and go away. Then take the screen down until they go away. Try not to wear skimpy bathing suits...??

you can buy pool clarifier that will help the cloudiness go away.

If you tilt your head downward when rinsing around your ears you should be able to avoid water from building up in them.

You may touch the inside of your goggles. Usually it is said that if you touch the inside of your goggles you will leage body oils there. This will cause your goggles to fog up faster. Keeping the inside of your goggles clean, free of body oils and water spots will keep help to keep your goggles fog free.
