When you are swimming competitively, you need to be able to see clearly so you know where you are in the pool and can keep an eye on where your competition is. When you participate in outdoor swimming this visibility can become difficult, especially on a bright, sunny day. Not only do you have to deal with the light of the sun around you, you need to handle the reflection of the sun off the water. Searching for the best swimming goggle for outside swimming should be one of your top priorities.

Women’s Goggles

While most goggles can be worn by anyone, some women prefer to have a fit that is designed specifically for them. The Speedo Women’s Vanquisher Goggles provide the best women’s mirrored swim goggles available in a wide range of colors. These dark swim goggles are designed to fit a woman’s face, with double straps for a more comfortable fit, UV protection and anti-fog coating so you can swim with confidence that you won’t lose your line of sight.

Speedo Goggles

If you are looking for the best swim goggles for backstroke to block sunlight that shines in your face, Speedo has several options for you, including the Speed Socket Mirror Swim Goggles, Speed Socket Polarized Goggles and Vanquisher 2.0 Plus Goggles. The mirror swim goggles provide you with the advantage of an increased line of sight with a low profile so you experience less resistance. This is the preferred swim goggle of Michael Phelps. The polarized goggles are the first of their kind in the industry. No other goggles previously offered the polarized lenses you often find on sunglasses. These lenses work hard to filter out the light and provide you with the clearest view possible in the brightest sunlight. The Vanquisher 2.0 is an updated version of the older model that provides you with 25 percent more peripheral visibility, a double strap and adjustable ergonomic clip, as well as the same UV protection and anti-fog properties.

TYR Goggles

If metallic goggles are more your style, TYR provides you with the Socket Rocket 2.0 Metallized Swim Goggles that offer Clear Mirror Technology with anti-glare and anti-fog properties so you can swim without worrying about the sun. This coating allows you to use these glasses indoors or out. Another alternative from TYR is the Nest Pro Metallized Goggles. These goggles use a woven frame similar to the way a bird’s nest is created for additional support. These goggles also offer anti-fog and UV protection for optimal outdoor swimming.
