spit, rub and rinse, before you swim. It's not gross, it's your saliva. It's free, and it works better than any anti-fog crap you can buy.

I don't like the vaseline idea myself. I have anti-fog goggles that can work well, but not for too long, and since I usually do about an hour in the water, it usually starts to fog before the end. So I go into the toilets before I start, squirt some of the liquid soap into each lens, quick rub and a good rinse, and I'm good for my whole swim!

New goggles should be thoroughly (a minute or 2) scrubbed with toothpaste. Then once you get interior the water spit & rub the goggles and rapidly dip them interior the water. There are defogging options accessible in recreation shops, yet a minimum of for diving goggles I have not stumbled on them to be too efficient.

your body temperature from your eyes are changing the temperature in the air on the inside. and cold water is on the outside. Condensation is the result of having one side of glass or plastic warm air and cold water/air on the other side. haven't you noticed that with air conditioned rooms on hot, wet days?
the best natural anti-fog that will cost you nothing is your saliva. just lick the inside part of the goggles and you'll see very clearly

Just dip them in the pool b4 you put them on - or spit in them. Not too sure about the vaseline though! Or you could try some different goggles - godfrey mk1's are good!

your face was too warm and the water too cold before you jumped in and the goggles probably not forming a complete seal so some moisture is condensing on the cold smooth inside surface of the goggles

i'm a diver, there is usually a thin layer of something that causes goggles to fog.... use toothpaste to try and wash most of it off. that may work on its own, if it doesn't, and this may sound a bit gross but it works, spit on the inside lense then rinse just before you wear them.

They steam up because the heat in the air under them (around your face/eyes) is greater than the heat in the water, causing water vapor in that air to condense on the lenses.
You can buy drops of an anti-fogging agent to rub on the inside of the lenses, or you can spit on them and rub that around. Sounds crazy, but it works.

just like any goggles/mask, you need a tight seal. Any type of SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus) will fog off if their isn't a tight seal. From my experience this was because of that factor alone. I never heard of vaseline doing anything though.
