Does anyone have some good advice for keeping a swim mask from
leaking? I have an Aqua Sphere mask that adheres to my face without
the strap and all that good stuff. As soon as I get in the water it
starts leaking from the sides. I do not have hair in the way (I wear
a cap) or lotion. I have tried pulling the strap tight and wearing it
looser nothing seems to work. It does work a bit better if I start
with a perfectly dry face and dry mask but once it starts leaking I
cannot re-seal it even by drying everything again. Any suggestions
from swimmers?

I have Aqua Sphere goggles and they leak. I switched to Swedish goggles,
which on me don't. Very cheap from internet outlets, so they're worth a
try.

I have aquasphere goggles and the work great on my. They have the
gaskets that stick to my face. To test it, push it against your face
and make sure that you get the sucking feeling and they form a vacuum
around your eyes. let them sit there for a little while and see if the
pressure in your eyes remains constant. Gently try to pull them out of
your face and see if they offer any resistance before they pop off. If
they come off really easy by themselves and the vacuum is lost, it
means that the gasket has a leak, or that it is not sealing properly.
A tiny hole will allow water to sip through. You may have to get new
gaskets. If the gaskets are not damaged, remove them. Put some
vaseline on them and reinstall them.
