You Need Good Swimming Goggles
I recommend these swimming goggles
Speedo Speed Socket Swim Goggle (Amber)
Worn by Michael Phelps while winning seven medals at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, the Speedo Speed Socket is an excellent swim goggle for competition swimming. The low profile design offers great peripheral vision and the polycarbonate lenses are coated with anti-fog protection and block 95 percent of UV rays.
Amazon Price: $18.74 (as of 11/23/2009) 
Things to Consider in Choosing Swimming Goggles
A comfortable fit - with adjusting, does the center piece (over the nose) feel right, without cutting your skin? Do they goggles feel good on your eyes with the strap? If they have foam, is it sufficient to both form a seal and cushion the sharp edges of the goggles?
Good construction - do they look like they were put together (Swedish goggles excepted) with the proper amount of adhesive used on the foam?
A proper tint - smoke or dark colored or mirrored goggles are good for bright areas, while clear or lightly colored are better for dim or indoor use.
UV protection - will they safeguard your eyes when used outdoors? A strong strap - does it look durable and have the same elasticity as a strong rubber band?
Extra features - do you need anti-fog, hypoallergenic, or prescription lenses?
Optically safe lenses - are they shatter resistant?
Cosmetic features - does the strap color or foam color what you want?

- I've always had problems finding googles that didn't leak unless I had them strapped on uncomfortably tight. Maybe something here will work better.

- Mostly during weekends and almost every time during summer. I like more to swim at the beach than at the pool. Great lens!

- Great lens! Currently, I sell goggles, along with other triathlon related training products. I really like the Aqua Sphere goggles best, especially the Seal XP (mostly for open water). 5*!
