Calling all swimmers - goggles recommendations

5 replies

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some goggles they swear by?

I swim 2-3 times a week, usually do about 50-60 lengths in half an hour, mainly front crawl. I wear a hat and goggles but have found my last couple of pairs of goggles (Zoggs ones, one cheap one expensive) both cause awful pressure marks around my eyes which take about 4 hours to fully fade. It looks terrible and is really bugging me!

Can anyone recommend a particular make/model which are watertight enough to withstand a fast-ish front crawl, but gentle enough on the skin to not mean that I go around looking like a panda for the rest of the day?

My kids use aquasphere seal masks. No panda look and very watertight. Tried them myself and found them very comfy

I've tried most others but go for TYR Special Ops polarised- they have very soft silicone cups and the best colour range around Grin i do about 2.5 k a day fast front crawl and have not had a fog or leak issue. You can get them on wiggle but they are about £20. Good for open water too as they are tinted or mirrored.

I second Aquasphere. I mark really easily and have found the goggles I have to mark much less. You don't seem to have to have them very tight at all to get a good seal.

Aquasphere Eagle for me!
