PLEASE help me figure out why DS goggles always leak

I've tried three different pairs of goggles.

Traditional type and the snorkel-looking ones.

They always leak. He's the only child in his swimming class that has to take them off and ask for them to be put on 5+ times in 30 minutes.

Ive wet them before putting them on, I've put them on dry.

I've tightened the straps, I've loosened them. I've got goggles with a double strap. I've put them high on his head, low on his head, in the middle.

Where am I going wrong?

Could be the wrong sized nose bridge. It's not as easy as you'd expect to get well fitted goggles!

Thank you. I didn't consider this.

I've never found goggles that don't leak, but I believe the secret is to put them on unbelievably tight.

Did you check fit before you bought them? You have to try them on and check the shape and material can get a good seal straight out of the back. Shouldn’t even need the band - it can take loads of pairs!

Good pairs don’t need to be overly tight

The nose bridge is an issue for me, I always have to make the gap smaller or goggles will leak.

I have tried many a brand of goggles for dd, all with the same issue.

The ones I've finally found that don't leak are the Zoggs little sonic air one, might be worth a try?
