Very good quality goggles. Previously purchased for my daughter and after being well used in swimming lessons, in the bath, family pool outings and holidays for a year a cracking appeared in one lense. Likely due to storage and my daughter throwing them in her bag etc she was 3 when bought. Have now purchased this second pair which she loves just as much. Very good visual field she is now 4 and able to put on herself with no issues of leaking. Would probably last longer if stored better but for the price they provided a years worth of a lot of underwater fun. Would recommend and continue to repurchase if needed.
They don’t let water in, and the field of vision is much better than regular goggles. – also bonus that there’s no squished eyes in this like normal shaped goggles
We had some of the usual goggles but was advised to buy these by my boys swimming instructor as they fit fully round the eye socket. They’ve been perfect and my boys will now happily put his head under water as there’s no leaks.
My daughter much prefers this style compared to the smaller goggles. They are a little harder to tighten and loosen but I’m sure will be fine once I get used to them.
Bought for my daughter. Her previous pair were fogging up before you even got them back up. These stay fog free for a while during her lessons so it’s not constant interuptions
My son had issues with using goggles before so was always reluctant to put his head under the water. These goggles changed everything. He’s like a fish in the water now. Fantastic product.
I bought these for my 7-year-old daughter. I have a similar pair of goggles myself in adult size and they are great so I do believe they are a quality product, but she does not get on so well with them because she wears a swimming hat, which can get in the way of making a good watertight seal. The smaller style with separate seals around each eye work better in her case
Very comfortable, fits the face well with a very easily adjustable strap/mechanism.
Great field of view, nice wide open ‘mask’ type viewing area.
We have 2 pairs, one for our three year old and one for our 7 year old.
The only real issue with them is that the lens can get scratches pretty easy if not keep in the case! With our first pair we didn’t really use the case and unfortunately we then had to scrap them, and at a avg. cost of 15 not a cheap mistake to make. However keep them in the case when not is use and you won’t find a better set
HOWEVER the last pair we ordered (the new updated ‘Seal 2’ came without a case, obviously a move to reduce costs and be more environmentally friendly. They did not mention this in the description!!! Fortunately we still had the case from the first ‘scratched’ pair.
My advice, by the ‘original’ kids ‘seal’ goggles. They are exactly the same as the ‘seal’ 2 except for a slightly update logo on the adjusting mechanisms on the sides and they come with case. If have spotted a few originals on Amazon that show the case as part of the listing.
Buy them, you won’t regret i
This is my second purchase of these goggles after having them years back with my older son. They seem much more comfy for kids than the standard small goggles that just fit around each eye. These are a bit more like safety goggles as they go right across both eyes. Easy to get on and off.
The only issue we have is that my son (7) has quite a flat bridge across his nose so occasionally water gets up in the slight gap, but it’s not a massive issue. The suction on them is great otherwise.
Bought these for my youngest son after I have used aquasphere google for all my triathlons and eldest has the childrens ones. Comparing both the junior pairs this pair didn’t have a storage case which is great to stop then getting scratched. They are a little stiffer seals around the eyes but still so much better than cheap foam ones, more comfortable and clear vision. I think also they warm and mold to the face slights as of the boys swap goggles the seal is not as good. I can’t emphasize how well these sit around rather than on the eyes like smaller cheap ones. I will always recommend aquasphere, not that I will ever need to buy anymore as these will last.
Pros
With her other ordinary (branded so not cheap) goggles, every time she would put her face in the water she would rush to get the goggles off to wipe her eyes (presumable because no matter how tight or well made they were, they still get a little water seepage. With these, they are such a big mask that when water seeps in, it doesn’t get near her eyes and so she does not feel the need to pull them off each time to dry her eyes! The suction is amazing on them but a small amount of water does still seep in but sits at the base of the mask no where near her eyes.
These also don’t steam up like other goggles do.
The field of view is brilliant & so probably helps her confidence too.
Con
The little clip at the side is a little bulky & so can rub her ears but it’s a minor issue compared to the pros & a little jiggery usually solves the issue.
