So whether you're looking for the latest and most advanced swim goggles for open water swimming, or just want a classic that you know works, you're sure to find it here. But! You need to be aware of a number of things, such as the size of the goggles and anti-fog coating, before choosing your new goggles for your next triathlon event.

You should have some special triathlon swim goggles

If you're looking for a pair of swim goggles for your triathlon or training, you've come to the right place! Here you can find a large selection of the best swim goggles for triathlon. Because swim goggles for doing this tough sport are not the same as the swim goggles you use for regular swimming.

This is due to 2 things:

1. in triathlon you swim in sea water or lakes. This is not clear water with chlorine in it like it is in the swimming pool. Therefore, the water is much more turbid and cloudy, and the lenses of the swim goggles must be somewhat larger to orientate yourself well enough to get around the buoys.

2. Triathlon swim goggles need to fit more tightly and firmly around the eyes. Because it's not unusual to get kicked in the head during a triathlon start, and if the goggles don't fit tightly enough, either water gets into the goggles or they fall off completely. And that's not good enough.

Based on the reasons above, you should also get some specialised swim goggles for triathletes (if you don't already have them). It can quickly become costly (both in time and effort) for the competition if you swim with a pair of regular swim goggles instead. When talking about goggles for triathlon and open water swimming, it will most likely also be relevant to look for a good wetsuit.

3 checkpoints - how to avoid unforeseen challenges with your swim goggles

Before you use a pair of swim goggles for a triathlon competition, you should have swum and tested them in both sea water and the swimming pool beforehand. This way you can be sure that nothing unexpected happens when you're racing with 100 other triathletes towards the first buoy. Because once that happens, the race is already over. Therefore, you should have checked the following things before the race starts:

1. That your goggles don't fog up
In the "real" ironman, you have to swim 3.8 kilometres. That's a REALLY long distance if you can't see a thing. That's why you need to make sure your swim goggles don't start to fog up. You can do this by putting some extra anti-fog on before the race, or by spitting a little on your finger and then rubbing it around your goggles.

2. That water doesn't get into your goggles
It hurts like hell and is really annoying to swim among 100s of other triathletes if you have water in your goggles. That's why it's crucial that you check this before you start. So it's better to tighten your goggles a little extra to make sure you're absolutely certain of this.

3. That it's comfortable
Some people find triathlon swim goggles that fill their entire face both annoying and uncomfortable, while others don't mind. If it bothers you, you should change your swim goggles before the competition because you have other things to think about while you're in the water.

The most popular triathlon swim goggles are from Aqua Sphere

When it comes to swim goggles for triathlon, Aqua Sphere swim goggles are especially popular. Aqua Sphere have patented their unique curved lenses, which gives the goggles a much greater visibility, allowing you to better orientate yourself in the water among the many other triathletes. This is especially beneficial when trying to swim towards the familiar buoys with high heart rate and intensity. The great visibility will also help you avoid suddenly getting a big jellyfish right in your face.

In addition, Aqua Sphere's swim goggles for triathletes are also always equipped with an anti-fog coating, which ensures that the goggles don't just drown. In addition, Aqua Sphere triathlon swim goggles are also equipped with smokey lenses, which ensures constant visibility in the murky water. Something that many other swim goggles do not.

But of course, there are also triathlon swim goggles from Speedo, TYR and Arena. These are also highly recommended if you want to look a bit tougher during competition/training!

In addition, these brands are also known for regular swim goggles for adults and swim goggles for kids. Because it's important that there are goggles that adults can wear and goggles that kids can wear when swimming, so you don't end up getting water in your goggles.
