EVO Endorsements: Our Favorite Goggles for Kids
Over the years, our instructors have taught thousands of kids and adults how to swim with our Gilbert swimming lessons. During those lessons, we’ve tried tons of different equipment and experienced what works best firsthand. In the coming months, we’ll be sharing our top picks for training equipment, learn-to-swim tools, and accessories to help you or your child learn the right technique and have fun!
This month, we’re gabbing about goggles for kids. Here are some of our favorite brands.
**Finis H2 Jr.
Who these goggles are good for:
Ages 5-8
Why we recommend them:
We like that these goggles are comfortable and come in cool colors that kids love. Their soft frame and silicone eye gasket create a watertight fit without hurting their sensitive faces, and the silicone strap and back clip allow easy adjustment.
**Finis Fruit Basket
Who these goggles are good for:
Ages 3-8
Why we recommend them:
The Fruit Basket goggles have the same benefits as the H2, and they smell good. Children can pick their favorite out of four scents, so don’t be surprised if they start begging to go swimming once they have these goggles!
**TYR Kids’ Swimple Goggles
Who these goggles are good for:
Ages 2-6
Why we recommend them:
These goggles are so simple that even young kids can put them on without help. They come in multiple colors, and the single strap splits into two straps behind the head for a secure fit.
**TYR Qualifier Goggles
Who these goggles are good for:
Kids moving from swimming lessons into development swim team
Why we recommend them:
Qualifier Goggles are racing goggles that are a bit bigger to help swimmers see better in the water. They also have the same strap as the Swimple Goggles, which keeps them tight yet comfortable.
All of these goggles, plus our other favorite swimming equipment, can be purchased at EVO’s pro shop. For more goggle recommendations or details about our Gilbert swimming lessons, contact EVO Swim School at 480-404-6191.
