Dip them in the pool, swish the water round and empty them out. Wont irritate your eyes, (weird I know) but stops fogging

Can't beat saliva. Ideally yours but a close friends will suffice

Put them in the water and allow them to acclimate to the temperature of the water and then put them on a wet face also. Naturally as you get warmer then you will have some fogging but not so much. After 200-400m sets you may have to wash them out with pool water.

Spit does help a little too.

Bed waiting

Modern racing goggles have been manufactured using the most advanced technology, and are designed with anti-fog measures in mind.

Many top competition goggles will have a special anti-fog coating that will help to prevent them from steaming up midway through your swim.

Among the most popular racing goggles available are the Arena Cobra, Speedo Fastskin and MP Michael Phelps XCEED ranges, but plenty of other top swim brands produce racing and training goggles with anti-fog coating.

If you don't fancy splashing out on a new pair of racing goggles just yet, you can always buy your own anti-fog coating.

There are a number of specialist anti fog sprays for use with swimming goggles, which have been specially formulated to ensure clear vision for the duration of your swim session.

Goggles steaming up is a huge problem for swimmers so there are a number of top brands now manufacturing anti-fog products.

You could try Arena Anti Fog Spray & Swim or TYR Anti Fog Spray and Lens Cleaner, among many others currently available.

To use the spray, you just need to spray it into your goggles and then rinse it out before you put them on.

It's necessary to rinse the spray out so that it doesn’t get in your eyes while you’re swimming.

SPIT IN THEM

Ok, so this may sound gross, but you will be surprised to hear that it really does work wonders!

Plus, it is completely free, so swimmers of all budgets will be able to stop their goggles from misting up using their own saliva. It's also a far more natural alternative to anti-fog spray!

By adding a layer of moisture to the lenses in the goggles, saliva is a very quick and cheap option that all swimmers can take advantage of.

USE BABY SHAMPOO

Baby shampoo or hair conditioner is another method you may not have thought of. Adding a tiny drop of this shampoo or conditioner into each lens and rubbing it around will leave a tiny layer of film that will prevent the goggles from misting up.

Around 10 or 15 minutes after applying the baby shampoo, give the goggles a thorough rinse as you won't want any leftover shampoo getting in your eye. Again, don't rub too hard because you'll remove the layer of film that the shampoo has left.

SPLASH YOUR FACE

Many people believe that swimming goggles steaming up is caused by the heat of your face meeting the cool outer temperature of the water.

To combat this, they advise swimmers to splash their face a few times with cold water before putting their goggles on.

The theory is that you'll be cooling your face down, so there's not so much of a reaction when the hot and cold air meet.

Swish them in the pool of it's got chlorine and you don't wear contact lenses. Otherwise you're at risk of bacteria.

A good fitting pair is a good start, but if spit and a rinse in the water before you pop them on doesn’t work; Tyr Anti Fog Spray is good

I’ve tried many different makes of ‘anti fog’ but they always do! I clean mine every few days with just a mild solution of fairy liquid to keep the clean which helps a bit. I swim everyday (except Friday) so I’ve got used to fogging

Avoid wooded areas and car parks after dark.

Any anti fog solution spray off Amazon will do the trick.

I put mine on dry (before I get in the pool) and they will stay fog free for about 1000m. I then start to get hotter from the exercise and then the drips of water that have leaked in start to vaporise and fog up.

Them it's a good rinse every 20-30 lengths for the next hour or so.

Most goggles these days have an anti-fog coating, but it's either not 100% effective, or wears off with time. Gross as it may sound, the best solution I've found is a bit of saliva on your finger and wipe the inside of each lens.
