If you’ve got children who adore spending time in the water, it’s important to invest in a solid pair of kids’ swimming goggles. Not only do goggles help prevent the irritation of chlorine, which can cause red, stingy eyes, but they’re an essential piece of racing kit for your young, budding triathletes.
Goggles can also offer UV protection which is handy for outdoor competitions, so it’s always a good idea to have a reliable pair of swimming goggles in the swimming kit bag.
Our round up of the best kids’ swimming goggles is based on in-depth research and user reviews, and is made up of a range of styles and designs. So whether they’re in need of snazzy mirrored goggles to help shave their race time, or fancy an everyday pair with anti-fog qualities, you’re sure to find a pair in our list that suits their swimming needs.
It’s worth noting, while the majority of our list are designed for six to 14 year olds, there’s likely to be a degree of flexibility due to the adjustable nature of swimming goggles.
