How to Choose the Best Swimming Goggles for Kids

Choosing the right swimming goggles for your child can make all the difference between a fun day at the pool and a frustrating one. Ill-fitting or leaky goggles not only cause discomfort but can also make kids anxious about getting water in their eyes, especially during swim lessons.

So, what should parents look for when choosing the best swimming goggles for kids?

1. The Right Fit
Goggles that are too tight can hurt, and ones that are too loose will let water in. Look for adjustable straps that allow for a snug but comfortable fit. Our Kiddo Goggles feature an easy-clip system at the back so kids and parents can adjust them in seconds—no more hair pulling or fussing!

2. Anti-Leak Technology
One of the most common complaints from parents is that their child’s goggles leak. This is usually due to a poor seal around the eyes. Kiddo Goggles use soft, skin-safe silicone that molds to your child’s face for a watertight seal without pressure or pain.

3. Anti-Fog and Wide Lenses
Foggy lenses can be distracting and limit your child’s vision in the water. High-quality lenses with anti-fog coating and wide-angle visibility make it easier and safer for kids to swim confidently. Every pair of Kiddo Goggles comes with this built in.
pro tip: The anti fog coating is applied to the inside of the lenses. To ensure the coating lasts, do not rub or touch the inside- Simply rinse and let it air dry!

4. Age Appropriateness
Make sure the goggles are made specifically for children, not just small adult versions. Kids have different face shapes and needs. Our goggles are designed for children aged 5–12, ensuring the fit is right for them.

5. Bonus: Make It Fun
Kids are more likely to wear their goggles if they love how they look. With our range of fun colours like Sage, Tan, Lilac and Cornflower Blue. This makes wearing goggles more appealing for kids and eliminates the fuss because they like what they are wearing!

Choosing the right goggles means looking at fit, leak-proof features, lens quality, and design. Kiddo Goggles are made with children in mind, combining comfort, function, and fun. Ready for a fuss-free swim? Shop our collection now.
