Kids Google - swimming goggles, swimming
My son swims year round and goes through goggles like crazy. I have found these to stand up the strain that he puts them through much better than others. If only they had a homing beacon to help you find them when he loses them. Speedo Junior Vanquisher Swim Goggle (Blue)
I ordered these for myslef, because adult size is too big. The eye pieces on these fit ok, but the straps have barely enough play. Also they fog up miserably, from the very first use. I did like that they csame in clear however. And the price is good.
I like these goggles. From the photo it shows the adjuster button on the back. The ones we received did not have that adjuster button, only the traditional strap adjustment. The button is so much easier to use and that is why I purchased. Would have been a 5 if they came as shown.
My daughter only wears the junior vanquishers for competitve swimming. We purchase these in multiples. She did have a pair snap at the nose piece while on the blocks, but that is why you have spares. (The pair that broke made it through practices and meets the duration of short course and half of long course. They were due to break.) We do replace the head strap with a bungie that we get from a different supplier. My daughter likes the other strap so she can tighten right at the blocks much easier.
These are the only goggles my son wears-- and therefore the only goggles I buy now! He's in the pool 4-5 days per week. They fit his face well and don't leak, and they are reasonably priced/comparable to the swimming retailer sites.
My son is tough on goggles and really needs them to perform. These goggles keep up with him through many practices and meets. They seal around his eyes well and resist fogging. We are on his second pair only because they get scratched in the bottom of his swim bag. The replaceable bridge pieces (included) and straps (not included) help extend the life of the goggles. The only reason it does not get a a full 5 stars is because they do get scratched fairly easily. - Speedo Goggles - Swimming - Goggles - Swimming Goggles'
