Hey what's up guys Taren here if you're looking for a set of swim goggles that are probably
the single best bang for your buck of any set of goggles that you could get out there
stick around because we're going to talk about the old tried-and-true Swedish swim goggles
I'll tell you how to put them together where you can find them and what it's like using
'em nowSwedish goggles are about as basic as it's get all they cost is in between about
three and nine dollars but all you're getting is the plastic I sockets a rubber strap a
nosepiece and youve got to put it all together now I know what you might be saying about
Swedish goggles Swedish goggles ain't happening man because I only let pillowy mam-jamas touch
my eyes that's it or you could be saying but Taren my eyes need suction more suction bathe
me in suction and I know this because I said the same thing when I first start thinking
about Swedish goggles now most Swedish goggles when you get them they're not going to look
like this they're going to look like this that's right when Swedish goggles typically
come because they're so inexpensive they're not assembled so you can put them together
how you put the Swedish goggles together is very simple now you take the string put it
through one goggle get it all the way through now you don't put it through the other Goggle
line it up so the string is equally as long on both sides and then Jam both ends of that
string come on come one through the nose piece pull that together and pull it tight so that
you've got both ends of the string coming out of one side then you take that string
jam it through the other Goggle and then tie it off I like leaving in a little bit loose
that if I ever had to adjust that I could and what you can also do is cut off all these
tabs so you cut off the excess of the string if you really want because you do see you
in a little bit as you're swimming on the nose and you leave it a little bit long and
then if you need to make that nose piece a little bit shorter what you do is you twist
it you twist it once get shortener twist it again gets a little bit shorter and that's
how you can adjust the distance between the eye sockets and then the headband is fairly
simple I found worked really well to get that had been through is too fold it so you create
a nice little teeny tiny Arrow that's gonna go through and then take your nail and I yanked
on it from the other end so as I was pushing from one end I was pulling on the other and
then eventually just get enough that you can grab onto it and pull it all the way through
do that on both sides then you can take the headband tie knot in it wherever you need
tie it off and grab this and pull everything through so that both the top and bottom headband
are equally as long and BAM now you got yourself some fantastic awesome looking Swedish goggles
now tell me that I'm not a sexy swimmer right now now here's what you can do and that's
what I'm going to set my guys up like I'm actually going to take off this nose piece
it does get a little bit rubby on the inside of your face in between your eyes on the nose
so I'm going to take out and cut off any excess headband and I'm gonna cut it at an angle
so we've got a piece I headband there and we can actually shove that through these eye
socket holes just gotta get it get it get it there we go yeahhhh and now you've got
an adjustable nose piece so you don't have to worry about twisting it or having a piece
of plastic rubbing on your face now what I think of it I've swam with these goggles for
a couple of weeks and I was really worried that they weren't going to be soft enough
on the eyes but I actually found is that because there's so much less going on that there's
less silicone that you've got to worry about suctioning onto your eyes you can actually
make these goggles quite a bit looser than you think you need to if you're driving off
the blocks you might want to tighten them up a fair bit that said they're not the most
comfortable goggle certainly by the end of the swim my eyes are getting a little bit
fatigued from them and I do get a little bit of raccoon eyes but all in all I've been really
happy with the Swedish goggles in the description below I'll link to some really cheap Swedish
goggles I'll link to some higher end ones that have a mirrored finish if you're swimming
outside if you want to step it up just a little bit from these basic Swedish goggles to those
socket rockets that have that little bit of rubber to take some of the pressure off your
eyes I'll link to that as well so that's it that's my take on Swedish goggles and how
to put them together thank you for watching and as always happy and hard training and
kill your next a-race grab some delicious coffee if you want to get in on that call
me a liar just call be a liar I dare you you might not like the mug but you gotta agree
with it
