Speedo’s Elastromeric Technology Takes Swim Goggles to a New Level

Speedo’s Elastromeric Technology Takes Swim Goggles to a New Level

Speedo's elastromeric technology is available in several goggles styles.
Consider goggles with the Speedo elastromeric technology.

Most swimmers have been there. After an afternoon or a full day at the pool, either training or competing, you take off your goggles and find red rings around your eyes from the suction. Even the most comfortable goggles can create this effect. However, with Speedo’s elastromeric technology, they have reduced this issue and helped make wearing goggles more comfortable for swimmers on all levels.

A New Technology

The new elastromeric technology is available in two styles to accommodate the needs of every swimmer: the MDR 2.4 and the Bullet. Regardless of the style you choose, you will find a more comfortable fit that doesn’t create the tell-tale red rings around your eyes after you spend a significant amount of time at the pool. The reason for this is the new seals are equipped with grooves that allow the seal to conform more closely to the unique contours of every swimmer’s face. This prevents the buildup of pressure, which is often the cause of the red rings. These goggles are available in junior goggles, a well as polarized and mirrored goggles for adults. You won’t find goggles of this caliber from any of the other leading manufacturers.

Two Profile Designs

The elastromeric technology used to eliminate the presence of red rings and pressures when wearing goggles has been implemented into two goggle designs to ensure every swimmer can find the option that best suits their needs. One of the biggest complaints swimmers have is distortion due to curved lenses. This is why both the MDR 2.4 and the Bullet versions have split lenses instead. The difference lies in the lens design, however. The MDR 2.4 has wider lenses designed for a better outer eye fit. The Bullet, on the other hand, features a lower profile design.

Choosing the right goggles can be difficult. Because swimmers have long accepted the red rings around their eyes, many have given up on finding the most comfortable goggles. While there are comfortable options available, many of them still leave that ring. With the newest technology from Speedo, this is changing, giving swimmers a higher caliber option so they can look their best when they get out of the pool too.

The right swimwear and goggles is important to learning how to swim.

With summer fast approaching, many parents are signing their kids up for swim lessons so they can feel more confident in their child’s abilities in the water. However, it is important for parents to be aware of what their children will need for these lessons. Most parents simply buy any swimsuit for their child and that is it. Whether you want your child to become involved in competitive swimming or you just want him to know how to handle himself in the water, the proper swimwear and goggles are important to his success.

Girl’s Swimwear

If you have a girl, you need to look for a swimsuit that provides the coverage every girl should have without interfering with her ability to move in the water. Speedo makes a large line of girl’s swimsuits that make the perfect option for those swimming lessons, allowing you to choose the right style, design and colors that will make any girl happy to wear the suit.

Boy’s Swimwear

Likewise, you need to be able to provide the right swimwear for your boys. When it comes to boy’s swimwear, you will find more options than you will with girl’s swimwear, but this is due to the variations in boy’s styles, including the jammer and the brief. You will also find a variety of designs and colors from which to choose.

Goggles

An important element for your child’s swimming lessons is the goggles you choose. There are many options when it comes to goggles, including the cheap ones you can pick up at any local store. However, it is best to choose from the better models to ensure they do the job correctly and last for a longer period of time. Some of the best options for kids, especially beginners, include the Speedo Skoogles Swim Goggles and the TYR Swimple Googles.Both come in a variety of colors so you can match them to your child’s suit.

Starting swimming lessons can be an exciting experience for kids. However, it is important for parents to choose the right equipment for their child. This includes choosing appropriate swimwear that will last a long time and fits your child’s preferences, as well as goggles that will help him be able to see clearly in the water as he learns how to swim. The right equipment makes the process go more smoothly and can even be a great introduction to competitive swimming.

Everyone knows that swimming with blurred vision is no fun and can be hazardous.  Bouncing from lane rope to lane rope isn’t the way any of us want to spend our time in the water.  If you wear glasses or contacts now is the time to give optical goggles a try.  Both Speedo and TYR offer great optical goggle options that also feature UV protection and Anti-Fog coating.

The Speedo Vanquisher Optical goggles and Speedo Jr. Vanquisher Optical goggles come in corrective diopters from -1.5 to -8.0.  These are available in both smoke and clear colors for both indoor and outdoor use.  Speedo Vanquisher Optical goggles are a great choice if you like a close fitting goggle that fits right in your eye socket.

TYR Corrective Optical goggles feature optical grade corrective diopters from -2.0 to -8.0.  TYR’s option is better if you prefer a more wide angle goggle that fits more around the eye rather than right in the eye socket.  TYR Optical goggles are also available in both smoke and clear colors.
