Swim goggles for kids (0-12 years) - Recommendations

Here, comfort is the main focus. No kids will wear swim goggles that doesn’t have a comfortable fit, or constantly irritates. The best that can happen, is that they barely notice them sitting on their face.

Apart from this, safety in the water is also a factor. For this purpose, a big, 180 degree lens will ensure a wide field of vision, and that the kid will never feel “cramped”.

There is also no question that kids can sometimes be slightly rough with their things. Therefore, the durability is crucial, especially for kids, hence why all the recommended products are made in soft silicone in the construction itself, rather than hard plastic.

When it comes to the size, younger kids in particular (3-8 years) often prefer a mask, that covers more of the face, but in return provides a better fit with the silicone frame around the glass. Older kids, however, tend to prefer a narrower goggle, that sits more directly on the eyes.

When it comes to the lens of swim goggles for kids, there are obviously different opinions. We can see, however, that most kids prefer a clear lens that gives a natural colour in the vision. If the swim goggle is primarily going to be used on the beach/outside, you should nonetheless consider a blue lens, where this lens will remove the strong flashes of light from the reflection of the water.
