You may be able to buy new pads for a dollar or two US. Strip the old stuff off and apply the sticker or glue sent with the new pads and attach them. If you dont like that idea you can buy great goggles very cheap.


try "swedish goggles"

you can get them with or without pads. they are a hard plastic goggle that sits inside the socket of your eye. You put them together yourself (2 goggle pieces, 1 nose rope, 1 nose rope cover, 1 head strap) they are only about 4 or 5 bucks USD.

If you dont like the hard plastic feeling (many dont) then you can try "socket rockets"

Both types of goggles sit inside the eye socket providing a better seal but a different feel.
type "swedish goggles" or "socket rocket goggles" into google and buy away

Hey, fvcking smart ass...

Either (a) you open your eyes and chlorine burns (or your contacts fall out or both)
or (b) you close your eyes to avoid aforementioned burn, and you can't tell when the wall is coming.

Figured that was self explainatory, asshat.

(a) I open my eyes...and...nope. The Chlorine doesn't burn. I don't wear contacts or glasses. I have excellent vision. Maybe the burning Chlorine helps with that.

(b) I don't close my eyes.

(c) With my eyes open, I can see and laugh at people that run into walls.
