Tester: Jack, aged 8

Worst feature: Uncomfortable
Result: 4/10
Price: £19.99

These goggles come in a variety of colours, including pink and glitter! The goggles are durable and have a broad seal and quick-release buttons on the side for easy adjustment. Jack didn’t see find any misting or leakage although he found the goggles very uncomfortable. Even his mum and dad tried them and found that the seal was so strong; they felt their eyes being sucked!

Tester: Our swimmer, aged 6
Best feature: Wide frame, good visibility
Worst feature: Strap did slide at back
Result: 8/10
Price: £17.99
#goggleschallenge WINNER!! Best goggles for ages 3-8

The Aqua Sphere Seal Kid goggle is already well-liked because of the clear, mask-style design and durability. Aqua Sphere have made a few improvements to this new edition which includes a better seal, and stronger materials. The quick-release strap means you can adjust the goggles quickly with very little fuss and we didn’t find any condensation build up or leaks. These goggles were very comfortable and our swimmer wore them throughout the lesson.

This post is part of our Goggles Challenge where we tested a range of swimming goggles in order to find the best pair.
Tester: Bronwen, aged 5
Best feature: Peppa Pig!
Worst feature: Visibility very poor
Result: 3/10
Price: £8.00

Peppa Pig, what could be better than that! Available in blue and pink and suited to children aged 1-6. These goggles were a delight for Bronwen because of Peppa but they were ever-so misty! From the moment we got into the pool, these goggles started to fog up. They are difficult to adjust on the head and there is no quick-release mechanism on the strap which is most useful for younger children. For comfort though, Bronwen was happy to wear them throughout the lesson and they didn’t leak.

This post is part of our Goggles Challenge where we tested a range of swimming goggles in order to find the best pair.
Tester: Thomas, aged 8
Best feature: Adjustable strap
Worst feature: Uncomfortable
Result: 4/10
Price: £14.00

Thomas’s goggles have a wide rim for better vision and a broad seal around the edge so it seems more like a scuba mask! The broad seal is to prevent leakage and provide a more comfortable fit. Recommended for ages 6+ they have UV protection for swimming outdoors on holiday. We didn’t see any misting but they were too uncomfortable to wear for the whole lesson. So much so, we reverted to Thomas’s old pair of goggles instead!

Tester: Faith, aged 7
Best feature: Comfortable to wear
Worst feature: Adjusting the strap

#goggleschallenge WINNER!! Best goggles for ages 6+

These are officially recognised goggles from the International Federation of Swimming and come in such great colours. We found the vision was good as they had a reasonably sized frame and no leakage! During the lessons, we didn’t discover any condensation on the lenses and Faith wore them throughout. A comfortable pair with very little fiddling of straps required!

This post is part of our Goggles Challenge where we tested a range of swimming goggles in order to find the best pair.
Tester: Daniel, aged 7
Best feature: Mirrored lenses and comfort
Worst feature: Fiddly strap
Result: 6/10
Price: £11.00

For the speedy racer! These goggles are designed to make a statement and our pair came with mirrored lenses! Good for reducing glare on holiday and suitable for children 6+. Once Daniel and mum got them adjusted to the right size, Daniel found them very comfortable. There was a significant amount of fiddling to get it right and they even came with additional nose adjustment pieces. As they are mirrored, it would have been nice to have a case to protect these goggles but on the whole a good comfortable pair.

Tester: Joy, aged 4
Best feature: Wide frame
Worst feature: Visibility
Result: 6/10
Price: £15.90

With a wide frame and a multitude of colours available, these goggles faired well during our challenge. Joy had a lot of fun going under water and the clarity of the goggles was really good. We didn’t notice them steaming up once and Mum said, “her brother now wants a pair so they must be great”.
