New York Times, Thursday, Nov 1, 2007:
Total Immersion Swim Studio in New Palz, NY: Lou Tharp, the coach of the Army Triathlon swim team at West Point, compared SABLE WaterOptics with the goggles of four competitor brands.
Mr. Tharp called SABLE WaterOptics the "clear overall winner."
- they fit more comfortably than any other goggle
- they don't leak at all
- they're the best looking
- they come in a cool looking protective case
As a follow-up to his comments in the New York Times review, Mr. Tharp called SABLE WaterOptics, "The go fast goggles of the year. These are serious. Competitors will look into your eyes and see fast. Sable is as good as you want to be."
Three-time Olympic medal winner Gary Hall says:
"I've spent my adult life promoting swimming and healthy eyes, but never found a goggle that worked for both. SABLE WaterOptics clearly changes everything, combining superior optics with superb sporting performance and comfort. Now I exclusively recommend SABLE WaterOptics to anyone who seeks the best optical gear in, under and around the water."
US flag bearer at the 1976 Olympics, Gary Hall held 10 world swimming records, won 30 US National Titles and was first to swim the 400-yard individual medley in under 4 minutes.

The Centers for Disease Control and eye-care professionals suggest that contact lens wearers remove contact lenses before any activity involving contact with water, including showering, using a hot tub, or swimming. Although the incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitis infection is relatively low, cases have been on the increase of late, and the infections can be severe. "Acanthamoeba keratitis is a local infection of the eye that typically occurs in healthy persons and can result in permanent visual impairment or blindness"--Centers for Disease Control.
