Malmsten

Here we have gathered the original, and almost legendary, Swedish swim goggles (and a few other things) from Malmsten. These Swedish Originals, which are available both with and without mirror, were the most widely used pair of swim goggles in the Nordic countries back in the 1980s and 1990s, and are still incredibly popular today, especially among competitive swimmers. You still have to assemble the goggles yourself, and they are available in many distinctive colours from green to yellow. So if you just want a pair of good swim goggles like in the old days, it doesn't get any better than these Malmsten swim goggles.

The history Malmsten

Malmsten was founded way back in 1974 by Swedish couple Tommy and Margareta Malmsten. Both were former elite swimmers, but also former national coaches for the Swedish national swimming team. Based on this experience, they knew what swimmers and public swimming pools needed in terms of products.

As the first product, the “Svenskerbrillen” / Swedish Originals were designed and became a huge success from the moment they were launched. Within a few years, these unique swim goggles, which are characterised by self-assembly and no silicone around the eyes, became a huge success all over Sweden, and actually quite quickly in Ireland as well. The goggles arrived here around 1980, and for the next couple of decades they were the most commonly used goggles among all swimmers in Ireland - both young kids, recreational swimmers and competitive swimmers.

Since then, the company has evolved to also produce everything for public swimming pools, such as entire swimming pools, lanes, etc…

The world's most popular goggles (once)

If you didn't think a simple pair of swim goggles could characterise an entire country, think again. These Malmsten swim goggles have almost changed their name in people's minds to “Svenskerbrillen” (Swedish goggles), and yes, they do come from Sweden, but they're still recognised all over the world. In fact, it was the world's most commonly used pair of swim goggles back in the 80s and 90s, when these goggles were more the norm than the exception to swim with.

And it's actually the exact same swim goggles you can get your hands on here as the ones they swam with 40 years ago. They still come in the same distinctive colours, you still have to assemble the goggles yourself, and they still have no silicone around the eyes. Just like a real Malmsten swim goggle should be.

Much more than swim goggles today

But actually, Malmsten is much more than just the original swim goggles. Today, they supply most of the equipment and technology for new public swimming pools. For example, they often build the pools for the Olympics, World Championships and European Swimming Championships, and they supply everything from lane dividers, water polo goals and scoreboards. All for various swimming centres around the world.

But it is still the swim goggles they are best known for.
