With all the chemicals used to keep swimming pools in good working order and as germ-free as possible, a good pair of goggles is indispensable if you're going to the pool to actually get wet. If you only venture poolside to lie on the deckchairs and soak up the sun, you need to stop reading this, and go look up "sunscreen", "sunshades" and "rum cocktails with little umbrellas."

However, once the top of your head is going below the surface of the water, you might want to invest in a pair of good quality goggles, and Speedo is the most trusted brand name in the swimming world. This pair is comfortable and fits securely through suction. It has a special headstrap system that makes adjustments in seconds, and the lenses are anti-fog with UV protection. As a former competitive swimmer, I can attest that these goggles are functional, and not just another pretty design.

I don't know if Jimmy Cliff ever used goggles, but I'm thinking that his version of the song "I Can See Clearly Now" is extremely applicable to this product.

I can see clearly now the chlorine's gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the red eyes that made me cry
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sun-shiny day

Oh yes, I can take it now the pain is gone
Now that the eye-burning has disappeared
These are the goggles I've been waiting for
It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sun-shiny day

My daughter, a competitive swimmer for 5 years, will only use these goggles. She loves the "suction cup" gaskets that let no water in, and the one piece design. She feels confident that they won't slip out of place during a start. She now has her younger sister insisting on these too! 5 stars

i had previously used a cheap pair of goggles and could not understand why they would not work. These are wonderful,they stay in place, they don't really fog up( only on occasion). the only problem i have is the marks left on my face from the suction of the goggles. 5 stars

I like these Speedo swim goggles -- comfortable to wear, protect my eyes from the ravages of pool chlorination, and provide good underwater vision. The clear eye pieces are great, because objects look more natural (compared to colored eyepieces). These goggles are also easy to adjust. 5 stars

These goggles are very nice, extremely clear and are everything Amazon describes about them. But they fit my 7yr old much better than they do me and my head is NOT THAT BIG!! Even after trying many adjustments they are just uncomfortable for me.

DD LOVES them. She can have them, so I have to keep looking... 3 stars
