Swimming Googles?
I rent swimming googles at my school for .25 cents for the past week and they are the real shitty kind from speedo... They always fog up and I hate it because I can't swim nor see!

Any recommendations? in-expensive but should be quality material...

Check out the goggles in my signature. Both are very popular and they work for me and many others. Most decent goggles will cost around $5-10.

^Wow, that's very inexpensive. Do you know if they carry these around Target or Walmart?

Generally, no. You may be able to find some general goggles from brand names like Speedo in something like Target or Walmart, but you'd have better luck looking in Sports Authority or Modells. Now, the higher quality goggles like the ones I linked to you will have a hard time finding - since they are mostly sold online and at swim meets.

Never heard of them, but they don't look like racing goggles very much. Guess that's why I've never seen them.

Target goggles are really bad. Good ones aren't at any of those kinds of stores

RE: Swimming Googles?
I have used a speedo rapide and a future ice plus. The rapide was quite cheap and fits well but is not comfortable, the future ice is more comfortable but leaks a lot and fog up easily. A few weeks ago I bought zoggs predator wiro frame, the never fog up, are very comfortable and they don't leak. I can recommend them. They cost me about 20 €uro.
I have heard that kayman is also good, does anybody have experience with them?

I have a few pairs of Speedo Vanquishers. They're really comfy and great, but they fog up pretty easily after the anti-fog wears up. I suggest you get some anti-fog drops.

RE: Swimming Googles?
I found totally different and innovated solution for fogging on swimming goggles.

It's called "Anti fog sheet" just google! you can find it easily.

It is sheets for goggles. Just place on your lenses then free of fog.

No more spray, just stick it and no more fog
