    you can be replacement straps, maybe nor adidas one, but generic ones,
    if you are semi-serious about swimming you might consider getting a "swim" brand, generally better

    Speedo or Aquasphere.

    Or ask to see the lost and found in your local pool, then nick a strap, most places don't give out goggles in case of eye infections etc. and most goggles lost are never "found" so try nicking a strap from a pair that have been there for ages..... Its what I'd do TBH

    Yeah good call. Or just ditch the addidas ones i've never come accross a good pair by them. Stick with speedo, they're the best with a huge range to fit most face types. Addidas do some things very well, goggles are not one of them. Their trunks are not too bad though, have had a few pairs of them but wouldn't use anytjhing outside the speedo "endurance" range now. Man they hold up real well in chlorine.

    I'm also a speedo kind of girl. Luckily their cheapest ones fit me perfectly. I think they are €9 a pair in arnotts.Some other people I know wear by aquasphere so it can be a matter of trial and error.


    Good idea on using the lost and found for a spare strap though. Another "cheap" trick is to ask triathlete friends for swim caps. There isn't a triathlete in the country without a drawer full of swim caps from races.
