Swimming Goggles
Swim goggles seal out chlorine and salt water and let you track the wall, the lane line, or another swimmer. Shop swim goggles for racing, training, lap swimming, and open water in mirrored, polarized, clear, and prescription lenses. 295 styles in adult, women's, and kids' fits.
Goggle types for racing, training, and open water
Different swims call for different goggles. Competition swim goggles use a low-profile gasket that seals tight against the eye socket for minimum drag and quick turns. Training and recreational goggles use a wider, softer gasket for long pool sessions where comfort matters more than the fastest seal. Open water goggles use a larger lens with a curved field of view to spot buoys and other swimmers. Prescription swim goggles match standard frames with diopter lenses for swimmers who need correction in the water.
Lens types for indoor pools, outdoor pools, and open water
Lens choice depends on light. Clear lenses work best for indoor pools and low-light open water. Smoked or tinted lenses cut bright pool lights and surface glare for outdoor lap swimming. Mirrored lenses reflect the most light and suit sunny outdoor pools and triathlon swims. Polarized lenses go further and cut horizontal glare from waves, which makes them the strongest pick for goggles built for open water training and racing in full sun.
Goggles for adults, women, and kids
Adult goggles fit most teenage and adult faces with adjustable nose bridges and split straps. Women's goggles use a narrower frame and softer gasket for smaller face shapes. Kids' swim goggles use a softer silicone gasket and a single-strap design that is easier for small hands to adjust. Junior racing-style frames come in smaller fits for ages 6 and up. For the youngest swimmers, look for shatter-resistant lenses and bright color options that are easier to spot in a busy pool.
How to fit goggles, prevent fogging, and make them last
A good seal starts with the right gasket size. Press the goggles to the eye socket without the strap; they should stick for a couple of seconds before falling off. To prevent fogging, rinse new goggles in fresh water before the first swim, then keep a thin film of anti-fog or a drop of baby shampoo on the inside of the lens. Rinse after every swim and store in a hard case to protect the lens. If your favorite pair needs a tune-up, swim goggle accessories include replacement straps and gasket kits.
