A good pair of swimming goggles makes a real difference — whether you're powering through lap training or racing at your next competition. Swimwear Shack stocks one of Australia's largest ranges of swimming goggles, covering training goggles, racing goggles, recreational goggles, open water goggles, and prescription goggles from brands including Speedo, Vorgee, Arena, Engine Swim, Zoggs, and Aquasphere.
Choosing the right goggle comes down to how and where you swim. For pool training, you want a comfortable, low-profile goggle with a secure fit and good visibility — options like the Vorgee Missile Elite, Speedo Biofuse, and Engine Caliber are popular with lap swimmers for exactly this reason. For racing, a streamlined, low-drag goggle with a tight hydrodynamic seal is essential — the Speedo Fastskin Speedsocket 2 and Arena Cobra Ultra are used by elite swimmers worldwide. For open water and triathlon, wider-lens goggles with UV protection and better peripheral vision are the priority.
Lens type matters too. Tinted and mirrored lenses reduce glare in outdoor pools and open water. Clear lenses are ideal for indoor or low-light conditions. Polarised lenses cut surface glare for open water swimming. Photochromatic lenses automatically adjust to changing light — perfect for Australian conditions where you might move between covered and outdoor pools. We also stock corrective lens goggles for swimmers who need vision correction in the water.
All goggles come with a 90-day return period if the fit isn't right, and our team can help you find the correct size and lens type in-store at our Woolloongabba Brisbane shop or online. Free shipping on orders over $200 Australia-wide.
Swim Goggles FAQ
What swim goggles are best for outdoor or open water swimming?
For bright outdoor pools and open water, choose mirrored, tinted, polarised or photochromatic lenses to cut glare. Clear lenses are best for indoor pools and low light. For triathlon and open water, look for a wider field of vision and a comfortable, leak-proof seal.
How do I stop my swim goggles fogging up?
Most goggles have an anti-fog coating that lasts several months. Avoid touching the inside of the lens, rinse in cool water after use, and store them in a case. When the coating wears off, use an anti-fog spray to restore clarity.
Can I get prescription swim goggles?
Yes. Corrective-lens swim goggles are available in fixed dioptre strengths, and View goggles let you assemble custom left/right lens strengths. If you're unsure of your strength, use a dioptre guide or your glasses prescription as a starting point.
