What to Look for in Swimming Goggles
Whether you’re swimming laps or playing in the shallow end, you want clear visibility and an enjoyable experience. A comfortable strap helps secure your goggles, while an adjustable or interchangeable nose bridge allows you to achieve the best fit and proper seal around your eyes. A perfect seal not only keeps water out, but also alleviates unwanted pressure on your nose.
The right lenses for your swimming goggles will provide you with the best aquatic optical experience. For Rx-wearers, prescription lenses mean not worrying about taking out contacts and storing them, allowing for a better and easier swimming session. Lens coatings and features, like anti-fog and polarization, keep the lenses clear and block glare bouncing off the water.
