Recommendations for children’s swimming goggles

14 replies

Sorry for one of the most boring threads…but can anyone recommend specific swimming goggles that fit properly & actually work. Both my girls attend swimming lessons so use regularly & they’ve started complaining their current goggles are hurting them under their eyes we’ve tried adjusting numerous times but hasn’t worked. I purchased these off Amazon ages ago so maybe they’re just old now. I’d like to replace them with some decent ones they are 9 & 6.

Thanks

We use Aquasphere. They have a soft flexible face seal bit and you can get bigger goggles that are more comfortable for little ones.
They are a bit more expensive than some but last well (if they don't loose them)

Aqua sphere seal - a friend is a swim instructor and recommended them.

We use zoggs. Fit well on my 5 year old and not expensive either

Zoogs phantom 2 work well for mine - check you buy the correct size /age (I have them for girls / boys seem to fit ok)

I tend to buy new ones every 8 months as they get scratched but all is good with those

We used to find the ones from Home Bargains were the best and so cheap that we didn’t lose sleep if they were left behind.

I use Decathlon ones, good quality and not too expensive

We have the Speedo junior jet goggles (orange and blue ones). Had them for years and they're really good , no leaks and no rim marks after wearing them for a lesson. Ages 6-14

My two wear different styles and can't wear eachothers. If it's a good fit they won't be tempted to tighten to stop leaks.
We liked decathlon because they encouraged the kids to try them on (try to push lens into position without the head strap. If they stay on for at least a few seconds, they are a good fit) my 7 year old is wearing adult ones but perfect fit. 10 year old is wearing junior ones.

We like Zoggs here. But as pp said, make sure they are fitted and worn correctly which ever you buy. A boy in DD's class wears his upside down and complains they leak!!

I was trying to remember what my DC had and it was these. Also recommended by their instructor.

We had exactly the same problem — my daughter kept saying her goggles hurt under her eyes and she’d have marks for hours afterwards. In the end it turned out the seal on the old ones had gone quite hard. We switched to Mad Wave junior goggles and they’ve been much better. For a 6-year-old I’d look at something softer and wider like the Bubble Junior style, and for your 9-year-old one of their normal junior pairs. They seal without needing to be really tight, so no more “raccoon eyes” after lessons.
