As part of our partnership with Bath Mums, we are holding the ultimate #goggleschallenge to road-test children’s swimming goggles. Over the next four weeks, the following eight pairs of goggles will be worn by our swimming students to determine the pros and cons of each so that we can crown the WINNER!
Cressi Cobra Kid Googles
These goggles come in a range of colours; we chose the blue ones for our challenge. They have an ultra-clear screen for fuller vision. With an easy-adjust strap, there’s very little fuss to tighten these goggles!
They are suitable for children aged 7 – 13 years and have shatterproof lenses with anti-scratch, anti-fog and anti-UV treatment so great for swimming outdoors during the holidays.

Speedo Junior Vanquisher 2
These goggles are aimed at competition and racing swimming, so let’s see how well they fair in our swimming lessons. They have a hypo-allergenic silicone seal, are anti-fog and suited towards children aged 6 – 14 years. The mirror lenses are particularly exciting and have UV protection. They are available in a range of colours.

Zoggs Predator Junior
One of the top selling points of these goggles is that they are FINA (International Federation of Swimming) approved. The curved lenses give a 180 degree peripheral vision and come with UV protection and anti-fog. The colours are adventurous – we’ve gone for the blue and pink ones. Yes, that’s right – pink and blue on the same pair.

Speedo Sea Squad Masks
These are our second pair of Speedo goggles to make the challenge. Rather than the more traditionally shaped goggles, these are more like a scuba diving mask, with a large window-style lens. The 180 degree vision is perfect for nervous children who are tentative about putting their faces in the water. These are infant goggles suitable for ages 2 – 6 years. They are sit softly on the face and have a wide, foam strap for added comfort.

Zoggs Tri Vision Junior Goggles
Another pair of Zoggs goggles – this time with larger lenses in a mask style. They are suitable for children aged 6 – 14 and have a soft seal to prevent leaks and a wide range of vision due to the large lenses. The lenses have both UVA and UVB protection and anti-fog for clear swimming. The lenses are colour tinted to help reduce light glare. Our pair comes with a clear strap with a quick lock and release system and funky green and blue lenses.

Zoggs Peppa Pig Adjustable Goggles
Who doesn’t like Peppa Pig? These goggles are aimed at children aged between 1 – 6 years. With anti-fog lenses for clear vision in the pool, Pepper also comes with 100% Sun Protection from UVA and UVB rays. They have a soft seal around the eyes to make sure no water comes in and gives a light touch to make the goggles comfortable.
