Swim goggles recommendations for a small woman

3 replies

Adult woman but I have a small face. Children's (teen) sunglasses and prescription glasses fit me better. Women's hats are way too big.

I need a good quality pair of swim goggles for indoor swimming. Speedo have good ones but age 6-14. 14 I think would fit but age 6 seems a very wide range.

I'll order online as I may be able to return, but difficult to try them on anywhere. Pay around £20.

Any ideas?

6-14 heads don't grow a huge amount as younger children's heads are proportionately large to their bodies.

I normally wear adult goggles, but can wear my childrens ones if necessary. Smaller will at least seal and I can struggle with goggles cut larger as my cheekbones are quite high.

Interesting! I have a narrow face and high cheekbones. I will try on DS goggles as he is 9.

In my experience it's not the size of the eye pieces but the distance between them that matters. The last pair I bought came with 3 different width nose pieces. Fitting the smallest one made a huge difference.
