Good swimming gear is important for moving in the water, swimming goggles help you see better underwater, but even if you don't care about diving, it's still worth getting a good pair of swimming goggles. Swimming goggles that are the right size and stay in place tightly prevent water from getting inside the lenses and don't put pressure on the area around your eyes. Aquaction's swimming goggles range includes a wide range of swimming goggles for competitive swimmers, fitness swimmers, open water swimmers, as well as a wide range of children's swimming goggles for swimming schools and baby swimming.

How to choose the best swimming goggles for you?

When choosing swimming goggles, you should think about what features you want from them. Swimming goggles designed for recreational swimming focus on the fit and comfort of the goggles, rather than their streamlined design. You want the goggles to stay on your head for a very long time, and the goggles should not be heavy or leaky. You don't necessarily jump from the start and you don't need the most streamlined goggles. Good swimming goggles for recreational swimming are often those with a slightly larger seal and lens part. Popular swimming goggles for active and recreational swimmers are, for example, Arena The ONE swimming goggles , which are designed to fit different faces, the goggles are suitable for both narrow and wide faces. The fit of the goggles is based on the results of product development on the structure of different types of faces. Based on the results, The ONE goggles have been designed with Arena's unique Orbit-Proof technology. The area around the eyes is the most important part of the face when designing swimming goggles that don't leak. The seals of the ONE goggles are designed so that the wider seal covers a wider area of skin around the eyes. Speedo goggles are also a good choice for fitness swimmers, for example the Speedon Futura Biofuse Flexiseal goggles are a great option for fitness swimmers and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Biofuse® technology provides extreme comfort with every swim. The seal flexes and ensures a soft feel around the eyes, creating an excellent fit. Wide lenses improve lateral visibility. Anti-Fog technology reduces lens fogging. This goggle model is one of Speedo's best goggles for fitness and active swimmers.

Competitive swimming is a sport where every second counts, swimming goggles should be streamlined and stay on the face well, but still not press. Good swimming goggles for competitive swimming Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe Mirror (with dark lenses) and Speedo Fastskin Elite Mirror, these swimming goggles are suitable for both swimming competitions and training goggles. Competitive swimming goggles have many adjustment options, and swimming goggles can be adjusted for both narrow and wide faces.

Are you looking for swimming goggles with strengths?

Swimming goggles with prescriptions are indispensable for people who wear glasses and contact lenses. Contact lenses are not recommended for swimmers, as they can expose the eyes to infections or be washed out into the water. Optical swimming goggles protect the eyes from irritation caused by chlorine and microbes in natural waters, for example. They help you see clearly in and under water. Optical swimming goggles are chosen according to your eyeglass prescription. If you have a lot of astigmatism, the prescriptions of your own glasses are adjusted to the swimming goggles. In this case, we recommend that you contact an eyeglass store. The most important thing in optical swimming goggles is the fit. It is worth trying on swimming goggles with prescriptions in peace and checking that the nose piece and neck strap can be adjusted sufficiently. Also make sure that the silicone part around the lenses does not leak or press on the eyes and the skin around the eyes. High-quality swimming goggles do not need to be tightened too tightly. The choice of model is also influenced by the intended use of the swimming goggles. Large swimming goggles may be comfortable for fitness swimming, but streamlined swimming goggles with low water resistance are better suited for competitive swimming. In our selection you will find AquaVision optical swimming goggles with strengths , which you can find from -2.0 strength to -6.0 strength.

What are the best swimming goggles for children and young swimmers?

The most important thing in children's swimming goggles is the fit and easy fastening mechanism. Especially for children and young juniors, we recommend choosing swimming goggles intended for children, because they are designed specifically for their facial features. The same familiar things apply to the fit of children's swimming goggles as with adult swimming goggles. The best-fitting glasses create gentle and even pressure around the eyes, so that the seal does not leak during swimming training. There are many swimming goggles for children in the wide selection, Speedo and Arena swimming goggles are available in two different sizes; 2-6 years old and 6-14 years old.
For children's swimming goggles (2-6 years old), we recommend the easy-to-adjust Speedon Disney Illusion swimming goggles and Arena's Spider swimming goggles. which are very popular, because the child can easily adjust them in the pool thanks to the quick-release fastener. This lens is well suited for 5-12 years old, depending on the size of the child's head. The lens is available with or without mirror lenses. For juniors (6-14 years old), good choices include Biofuse Flexiseal Junior children's swimming goggles, Hydropulse Junior and Futura Classic Junior swimming goggles.

When a child moves from swimming school to hobby groups and their first swimming competitions, it is worth checking out Arena's Cobra swimming goggles and Arena Tracks swimming goggles. Speedo swimming goggles are also a good choice. A popular model is, for example, the Speedo Speed Socket swimming goggles designed for competitive swimmers, which are suitable for both competition and training use.

How do you keep your swimming goggles in good condition for a long time?

Store your goggles in a protective bag or case; this will keep the lenses in good condition. Goggles will start to fog up when the protective coating on them has worn off. Many manufacturers add an anti-fog treatment to the lens surface during manufacturing, which extends the lifespan of your goggles. When fogging does occur, you can prevent it with a spray designed for this purpose, which you can find here. If the strings on your goggles break, you don't have to buy new goggles, as replacement strings are available as an accessory here. We also recommend storing your goggles in a hard case, which you can find here.
