For recreational and competitive swimmers alike, rubber goggle straps can be a pain. They are hard to adjust and often pull on stray hairs. A simple solution is a bungee strap which can easily replace the rubber or silicone strap on almost any set of goggles. The bungee is great for kids because they can adjust it themselves (swim coaches will be grateful for this)! They are also durable and can be purchased at most sporting good or swim specialty stores, even online. Once in place, the bungee strap will create a secure, double strap that is easy to adjust and gentle on hair.

Steps

After purchasing your bungee strap, remove the cord lock by squeezing the button to the larger part of the lock and pulling the bungee out completely.

Remove the rubber or silicone strap that came with your goggles.

Loop one end of the bungee through a side adjuster from the back of the goggle threading towards the front.

If the side adjuster has two openings, loop the same end back through the same side adjuster but now threading towards the back. If there are three avoid the outermost opening as the bungee is typically thinner than the original strap and may slide through.
