A common question among triathletes is, “Should I put my goggles under or over my cap?” It depends on if we’re talking about swimming in a pool or in the open water, and particularly in a race. In a pool, it’s a matter of personal preference. Goggles aren’t likely to fall off if it’s just a pool workout. However, in an open water swim race, there is a lot of flailing and physical contact at the beginning, and the chances of goggles coming off increase. The solution is to put your cap on, then your goggles, then put on a second cap over your goggles. This will secure your goggles onto your head allow you to relax about at least that aspect of the open water. For a complete triathlon swimming solution, visit https://triswimcoach.com
