Best Answer

They are wearing swedish goggles. "Swedes" come in pieces and the swimmer puts them together to get a customized fit. If you cut the strings on the knot on the nose piece, you risk the knot coming loose so some swimmers don't trim the string. And you really don't notice it in the water.
