Swimming goggles

Properly fitting your goggles

Well fitted goggles don't leak. You can test them dry: by gently pressing the lenses against your eyes without the strap, they should stay on for a few seconds just by suction. The nose bridge, often interchangeable or adjustable, adapts to the spacing of the eyes. The strap goes on the top back of the head, not too tight, which leaves marks on the eyes, and not too loose. On a swim cap, they hold better.

Training, competition and open water

For training, soft-seal goggles, like Speedo Futura, Hydrosity or Biofuse, focus on comfort during long sessions. For competition, low and hydrodynamic models, like Speedo Hydropulse or Arena Cobra, reduce drag, and Swedish goggles, without a seal, are the most streamlined. For open water, the Speedo Biofuse Rift mask offers a wide field of vision and mirrored lenses against the sun.

Children and maintenance

Children's goggles, like Speedo Jet, Futura junior, Arena Spider or TYR Aqua Blaze, are suited for small faces and easy to put on. To keep the anti-fog treatment effective, never rub the inside of the lenses; rinse the goggles with clear water after the session and let them air dry, stored in their case. Chlorine and the sun eventually harden the seals: replace your goggles when they start to leak.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and the items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent out within 24 hours. Important times of the year follow a regular pattern: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, winter sales, the French Days in spring, then summer sales and back-to-school.

Frequently asked questions

How to maintain the anti-fog effect of your goggles?

Never touch the inside of the lenses with your fingers or a towel, as the anti-fog treatment will wear off. Rinse the goggles with clear water after the session and let them air dry in their case.

Which goggles should I choose for triathlon or open water?

Opt for a wide field of vision for orientation and tinted or mirrored lenses against the sun. Open water masks, which are more enveloping, are comfortable for long distances, and clear lenses are useful in grey weather.

Are there prescription swimming goggles?

Yes, prescription goggles are available with predefined diopter lenses, especially for nearsighted individuals. They work when both eyes have similar corrections; some models accept different lenses for each eye.

What are Swedish goggles used for?

Swedish goggles, without a foam seal, are self-assembled with a cord nose bridge adjusted to your face. Very close to the eyes and highly hydrodynamic, they are favored by competitive swimmers, but require a period of adjustment.

What goggles for a child?

Choose a children's model, with a soft seal and an easy-to-adjust strap, in colours that make them appealing. They should stick by suction before even using the strap: if too tight, the goggles will leave marks on the eyes and discourage the child.
