FAQs
Are these goggles suitable for open water swimming?
Yes, the mirrored lenses help reduce glare from the sun, and the wide vision field is beneficial. However, for very rough conditions, additional eye protection might be considered.
How do I re-attach the nose bridge if it comes off?
The adjustable nose bridge is designed to be detachable for customization. To re-attach, simply align the tabs on the bridge with the corresponding slots on the lens frame and push firmly until it clicks into place.
Can I use these goggles for diving?
These goggles are designed for swimming and competitive racing. They may not provide an adequate seal or durability for diving activities.
What is the main advantage of the double head strap?
The double head strap provides a more secure and distributed fit across the back of the head, reducing the likelihood of the goggles slipping during intense swimming and turns.
How long does the anti-fog treatment typically last?
The longevity of the anti-fog treatment varies with use and care. Proper rinsing after each use and avoiding touching or wiping the inside of the lenses will help prolong its effectiveness.
Are replacement parts available for these goggles?
While specific replacement parts like nose bridges might be available, it's best to check with the retailer or Speedo directly for current availability and options.
Troubleshooting
Goggles fog up during use.
Ensure the anti-fog coating is intact. Rinse the inside of the lenses with fresh water before swimming. Avoid touching the inside of the lenses. If fogging persists, consider using an anti-fog solution specifically designed for swim goggles.
Goggles leak around the eyes.
Adjust the double head strap for a more secure fit. Ensure the nose bridge is properly positioned. Try adjusting the tightness of the strap to create a better seal against your face. Make sure no hair is caught between the gasket and your skin.
Discomfort from the head strap.
Loosen the double head strap slightly. Ensure the straps are lying flat against your head and not twisted. Re-adjust the nose bridge for a better overall fit, which may relieve pressure points.
Mirrored coating appears damaged or scratched.
Inspect the lenses carefully. Minor surface scratches on the outside may not affect performance significantly. If the mirrored coating is peeling or significantly damaged, it may be time to replace the goggles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the goggles and inspect for any damage.
- Adjust the double head strap by pulling the ends evenly until a snug but comfortable fit is achieved. The strap should not feel excessively tight.
- Use the adjustable nose bridge to find the best fit for your nose. It can be detached and re-attached to different positions.
Compatibility:
- These goggles are FINA approved, making them suitable for all levels of competitive swimming sanctioned by World Aquatics (formerly FINA).
- The universal design generally fits most adult head shapes and sizes.
Care:
- Rinsing: After each use, rinse the goggles thoroughly with cool, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and debris.
- Drying: Gently shake off excess water and allow the goggles to air dry naturally. Avoid wiping the inside of the lenses, as this can damage the anti-fog coating.
- Storage: Store the goggles in a protective case (if provided) or a soft pouch when not in use. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, which can degrade the materials and lens coatings.
- Cleaning: For stubborn marks on the outside of the lenses or frame, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
