By Joe Buchanan, Swimming World College Intern.<\/em><\/p>\n

Choosing goggles can be intimidating for any new swimmer. Many swimmers settle for whatever goggles they can find within their price range at their local sports store without doing any research into what would work best for them.<\/p>\n

While all swimming goggles do the same thing, keep water out of your eyes, different types of goggles have different types of bulkiness, visibility, and durability. By choosing the right type of goggles, swimmers can become more effective during their time in the water.<\/p>\n

There are five different types of goggles available to swimmers; competitive, practice, recreational, masks, and Swedish.<\/p>\n

Competitive:<\/h2>\n

The competitive goggles are slim, low profile goggles. They often have low peripheral vision, but most feature mirrored tint on the lenses to purvey a psychological advantage. The nose bridge is replaceable, there are rubber gaskets along the lenses, and the straps are adjustable. These goggles are the least comfortable and durable, however, they provide the least amount of drag, meaning swimmers move faster through the water. Because of this, they are usually reserved exclusively for competition.<\/p>\n

Examples of these types of goggles are Speedo\u2019s Fastskin3 Elite<\/a><\/p>\n

Practice:<\/h2>\n

The practice goggles are slightly bulkier than competitive goggles, yet are still relatively low profile. While they provide more drag than competitive goggles, they are also more comfortable and durable, making them perfect for consistent daily usage. They offer a replaceable nose bridge, rubber gaskets on the lenses, and adjustable straps. These goggles are built to survive through the toughest practice schedules.<\/p>\n

Examples of these types of goggles include Dolfin\u2019s Charger<\/a><\/p>\n

Recreational:<\/h2>\n

The recreational goggles are much bulkier than practice goggles. They provide much more drag, but are the most comfortable of any of the goggles discussed before. They usually involve a large flat lens surrounded by durable silicon rubber or plastic. These goggles have adjustable thick rubber straps, and have rubber gaskets along the lenses, making them less prone to slipping on the swimmer\u2019s face. These goggles offer wide peripheral vision, very durable designs, and often have anti-glare coating making them ideal for open water or triathlon swimming.<\/p>\n

Examples of these types of goggles include Finis\u2019 Surge<\/a><\/p>\n

Masks:<\/h2>\n

The swim masks are the bulkiest goggles on the market and as such aren\u2019t ideal for training. They often take up most of the swimmer\u2019s face and provide the strongest seal of any types of goggles. The wide lenses offer near-complete vision around the swimmer. As such, these masks are perfect for expeditionary swimming such as snorkeling or diving. Lower-profile masks are also used by open water swimmers who prefer the extra visibility for their longer swims.<\/p>\n

Examples of these types of masks include Speedo\u2019s Oculus Prime<\/a><\/p>\n

Swedish:<\/h2>\n

The Swedish goggles are the smallest goggles on the market and provide the most visibility of any type. They are very similar to competitive goggles, but feature less frills. They have no rubber gasket along the lenses and as such, the clear plastic sits flush on the swimmer\u2019s face, making them more prone to slip. These goggles are worn and loved by many swimmers at every level, but swimmers must first put in the time and effort to assemble the goggles and adjust the fit to their face.<\/p>\n

Examples of these types of goggles include Arena\u2019s Swedix<\/a><\/p>\n

The tint that goggles have also make a difference.<\/p>\n

No Tint: used in low light environments to naturally increase visibility,<\/p>\n

Blue Tint: often used in swimming pools and open water to increase visibility,<\/p>\n

Lighter Colored Tint (Yellow, Orange, Amber): used to make brighten up low light environments,<\/p>\n

Mirror Tint: Used as an anti-glare tint or to give swimmers a psychological advantage in races.<\/p>\n
