Our panel confirmed they were able to keep swimming, distraction-free, when the sun came out, and said the anti-fog coating was effective for the most part. A few testers said they started to steam up around the 30-length mark, so we’d recommend using them for shorter, more casual swims. Our trusted Runner’s World Lab testers donned their swimming attire and strapped on a range of market-leading goggles for a series of swims. They submerged themselves in pools, ponds, lakes and the sea, before delivering an honest, no-holds-barred review of their performance. For everyday swimming, look no further.

With peak swimming season upon us, it’s time to fling those mouldy, half-broken goggles aside and splash out (sorry) on a trusty new pair for all your aquatic adventures. Admittedly, they’re not the most stylish of accessories, but much like swimming costumes, wetsuits, rash vests and swimming caps, they’re an essential bit of kit that could make or break your session. Your goggles should sit comfortably on the bridge of your nose and create a seal all the way round your eyes without any gaps,’ says Sutton. Here’s a fit test you can do before getting in the water:Adjustable head straps and anti-fog features (to stop your goggles from steaming up mid-swim) are also preferable. How do I know if my goggles fit?

Depending on how frequently you swim, budget appropriately to be able to buy new goggles between every three months to a year. Product RecommendationsFirstly, consider where you’re going to swim, advises Bridget Marshall-Keith, hard goods category manager at Speedo. ‘If you’re swimming outdoors then you may want a pair with tinted, mirrored or polarised lenses to reduce glare, and built-in UV protection to protect your eyes from the sun,' she explains. Next, think about the gasket (the seal around the lens), as this will affect both resistance in the water and comfort levels. ‘An inner-eye fit will be more streamlined but an outer-eye fit will be more comfortable, so it depends what your priority is,’ says Marshall-Keith.
