Strange question for you. I've been swimming lately and my goggles have been hurting my eyes, like a pressure sensation. could it be the fact I've had a cold that could be doing that. The goggles are not damaged so don't see how it could be them?
Any ideas?

Yes. If you have head congestion, your sinuses may be swollen. Though it won't be noticeable to you as much during normal activitiy, your goggles very well may be a bit too tight to rest on your face while your sinuses are irritated. Not fun, been there! You can stay away from swimming until you feel better, try loosening your straps a smidge or suck it up (right!). If you continue to have pain for a prolonged amount of time, see a doctor and have him make sure there's nothing wrong.
As for the mask/goggles mentioned above, I know some people who wear them but no one who is a serious competitor.
Good luck!

Used by triathletes as well as swimmers, the AquaSphere Seal Mask can be ordered with a tinted or clear lens (depending on the vendor). The frame sits on the face away from your eyes and is very comfortable to wear.
Caution
* Do not wear swimming goggles for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time without washing them. A good practice is to take them off, clean them, and then switch to a different type of goggle.
* If you wear these goggles frequently, after 3 months, throw them away and buy a new pair. Buying a new pair on a regular basis might help avoid developing an allergy to the goggles.
* To clean the Seal Mask, rinse it with clean water, sprinkle it with baking soda (not baking powder), and then rinse off the baking soda. Air-dry or pat (do not rub) the lenses dry with lint-free tissues or with a clean 100% cotton handkerchief. If you rub the lenses, you will scratch them.

You know this may jest be a pressure point for you. Try to use different goggles and if that doesn't work go and see a doctor
