Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe Goggles

Cons:

Best high-performance racing goggles
The Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe Goggles take the top spot with a slim gasket profile that is hydrodynamic and reduces the likelihood of goggles falling off or cracking a leak when diving into the water.
They also feature an industry-leading anti-fog technology that is heads and shoulders above the competition.
The way it works is like this: Instead of avoiding wiping the inside with your fingers, a few gentle swipes reset the anti-fog coating.
Beyond that remarkable feature, which helps to extend the lifespan of your racing goggles, the Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe has a very thin and hydrodynamic goggle gasket that reduces drag and sits comfortably in your eye sockets.
In my own tests and measurements comparing the lens thickness of different racing goggles, the Cobra Ultra Swipe had the "fastest" lens profile, at just 0.4".
The goggles come in a wide variety of colors and mirrored tints which build confidence on race day and also reduce eye strain and eliminate glare when competing in outdoor swim pools.
Even though the goggle lenses are really slim, they somehow still manage excellent peripheral vision, allowing you to “peek” at the competition without having to turn your head in the water.
Arena also ships the goggles with five nosepieces, which provide a watertight seal and reduce pinching on the nose. Swapping out the nosepieces to find a comfortable, leak-free fit takes just a few moments.
The Cobra Swipe is a premium goggle and is priced as such; more casual competitive swimmers should opt for more budget-friendly racing goggles like the Speedo Speed Sockets 2.0 or the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0.
The Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe Goggles are the best overall competition goggles for swimmers looking to maximize vision and minimize drag when they dive into the water on race day.
Speedo Fastskin LZR Pure Focus
Pros:

Cons:
|
Best goggles for racing like an Olympian
The Speedo Fastskin Pure Focus are Speedo’s fastest swimming goggles. According to Speedo, they have a 5% reduction in drag compared to its other premium racing goggles, the Fastskin Hyper Elites.
First thing I noticed when testing them at my local pool was the secure fit. The goggles sink into your eye sockets, the gasket skirt suctioning lightly against the skin, sealing water from leaking into the lenses.
The Pure Focus goggles are exceptionally comfortable, have a wide field of vision and a curved goggle lens—perfect for putting your head down and sprinting to the wall while still having a grasp of where the competition is in the lane next to you—and are hydrodynamic in every manner.
From the slim silicone straps, the strap buckle, to the elongated gasket frame that wraps around the side of your head, the Pure Focus goggles are meant for blinding speed.
Each set of the Speedo Fastskin Pure Focus goggles comes with three nose bridges for a custom fit and markings on the straps to align the goggles perfectly with your swim cap of choice.
The goggles are available in seven different colors and are priced at the premium level, with a set retailing for around $80. This makes them a top-tier racing goggle for serious swimmers.
While fast and proven over and over in international competition by some of the fastest swimmers on the planet, they are slightly thicker than the Arena Cobra Ultra Swipes (lens thickness is 0.55” compared to 0.4” with the Ultra Swipes).
Comfortable, designed to give swimmers maximum confidence on race day, and made by the leading swim goggle brand in the business, the Speedo Fastskin Pure Focus is comfortable, fast, and delivers excellent performance in the water.
Speedo Speed Socket 2.0

Cons:

Best racing and training swim goggles
The Speedo Speed Socket 2.0 is a sleek, high-performance, mirrored swim goggle designed for fast swimming and maximum vision.
The Speed Socket 2.0 goggles have a slimmer gasket profile compared to the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 goggles, and slightly better peripheral vision, making them a superior choice for race day.
But wait, that’s not all…
The Speedo Speed Socket 2.0's price tag also makes it an affordable option for a training goggle, making these goggles the best racing swim goggles that can also be used as daily goggles for swim practice.
The goggles come with three nosepieces for a custom fit, silicone head straps, and a soft gasket skirt that suctions gently against the skin around your eyes, creating a watertight seal to reduce leaks when competing.
Speedo did sciencey work on these swim goggles to make them as fast as possible, refining the hydrodynamics of the lenses and straps in AquaLab, Speedo’s research and development facility.
Oh, and it’s also Olympic champion and world record holder Caeleb Dressel’s favorite swim goggles. He has been rocking the goggles since at least high school, long before Speedo began sponsoring him in 2018 [external link to SwimSwam].
The Speed Socket 2.0 Goggles come in a variety of colorways with mirrored tints, giving swimmers lots of options for a goggle that matches team colors on race day.
Ultimately, the Speedo Speed Socket 2.0 goggles are the best racing goggles for swimmers who want a fast and affordable swim goggles that can also be used during swim practice.
Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 Goggle
Pros:
|
Cons:
|
Most versatile racing goggles
The Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 is the popular swim brand’s best-selling swim goggles. It gets top marks as a racing goggle thanks to the Vanquisher 2.0’s lane-leading versatility.
The Vanquishers come in a wide variety of tints and colors, women’s and junior sizes (as we will discuss shortly), and with optional prescription lenses.
In terms of racing with confidence, the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0’s best feature is its legendary comfort and fit, making it a great option for swimmers looking for secure and fast goggles.
Silicone head straps make adjusting the goggles to the shape of your head a breeze. Each set of Vanquishers includes three interchangeable nose bridges for a custom, leak-free fit. The hydrodynamically designed gasket gives swimmers clear vision and a generous field of view for race day.
The Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 Goggles are also budget-friendly racing goggles that can be used in training. They retail for significantly less than premium goggles like the Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe and Speedo FastSkin LZR Pure Focus Goggles.
One secret to swimming fast on race day is reducing the number of surprises; by using the same goggles you train with when competing, you have one less thing to worry about as you strive for a new personal best time in the pool.
While highly versatile, the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 doesn’t have as much peripheral vision compared to its sister goggles, the Speed Socket.
Additionally, the frame is marginally thicker compared to the Arena Cobra Ultra Goggle, making it slightly less hydrodynamic.
Speedo Jr Vanquisher 2.0
Pros:
|
Cons:
|
Best youth racing swim goggles
The Speedo Junior Vanquisher 2.0 goggles are a smaller version of the immensely popular Vanquisher 2.0 goggles—one of our best-selling swim goggles.
The Vanquisher is consistently rated as one of the most comfortable goggles in the pool, and the Junior option of the goggles adapts for smaller faces with narrower eyepieces and shorter nosebridges designed for swimmers aged 6-14.
The slim, streamlined design, large choice of lens tints, and cushioned silicone seals make the Junior Vanquishers the best youth goggles for swim meets and racing.
Like all Speedo goggles, the Junior Vanquishers have UV protection to reduce eye strain and eliminate glare, multiple nosepieces for a custom, watertight seal, and an anti-fog coating to help swimmers see clearly in the pool on race day.
Additionally, youth swimmers with a prescription should opt for the Speedo Junior Vanquisher 2.0 Optical Goggles, which have diopters of -1.5 to -8.0.
The Speedo Junior Vanquisher 2.0 is the best kids racing swim goggles thanks to Speedo’s industry-leading goggle design, streamlined design, and narrower gasket suited for smaller faces.
TYR Socket Rockets 2.0 Mirrored Performance Goggle
Pros:

Cons:

Best Swedish goggles for racing
The TYR Socket Rocket 2.0 is an update of the beloved Swede, an old-school classic racing goggle known for its maximum customization, low-profile lens, and simplicity.
Swedes, also referred to as Swedish goggles, are unique in that they don’t have a gasket or skirt around the lenses. This results in a design that is extremely low profile (ideal for competition) and provides excellent clarity and range of vision.
The TYR Socket Rockets 2.0 improves on the original by replacing the latex straps with silicone straps that last much longer after extended chlorine exposure.
Additionally, unlike traditional Swedes, the Socket Rockets are lined with a very thin layer of plastic rubber, which balances the low profile of Swedes with a more comfortable wearing experience.
Swimmers who struggle with getting a comfortable fit with plastic nosepieces will love the adjustable nose bridge on Swedish goggles, which can be customized to your exact specifications and comfort.
Swedish goggles are generally wildly inexpensive, and the TYR Socket Rockets 2.0 is in line with this price point, making them affordable for swimmers.
Lilly King, Olympic champion and former world record holder in the 100m breaststroke, has worn Swedish goggles since her age group swimming days.
“I have only ever practiced in four pairs of Swedes since I started wearing them in 8th grade,” says King. “That is a total goggle budget of $12 for seven years.” [source--Twitter]
Now a TYR-sponsored athlete, King trains and competes with the Socket Rockets 2.0 every time she hits the pool.
I’ve used these goggles intermittently over the years and love how easy they are to configure to my face out of the package. A quick tug of the nose strap and the double straps and off I go.
The TYR Socket Rockets 2.0 comes in several colors and tints for your choice of lenses, perfect for competing indoors and outdoors.
TYR Black Ops 140 EV Racing Goggle
Pros:
|
Cons:
|
Best racing goggles for wide field of view
The TYR Black Ops 140 EV Racing Goggle is sleek, fast, and offers excellent peripheral vision. The goggles are also priced very competitively, making them another hybrid goggle that can be used in training and racing.
The main reason these goggles will help you succeed on race day is the extra-wide 140-degree field of vision with the goggles. Testing these swim goggles in my local pool, I could make out the digits on the pace clock at the side of the pool while looking straight ahead. That’s how clear and wide the peripheral vision on the Black Ops can be.
In terms of comfort and fit, the Black Ops reminds me a lot of the Speed Socket 2.0 Goggles.
Each set comes with four nosepieces that can be swapped in and out of the gasket to find the perfect distance between the lenses of the goggles for a leak-free swim.
Soft silicone surrounds the gasket, gently suctioning against the skin, giving you confidence that your goggles will stay in place even when diving into the water on race day. The adjustable head straps are also made with long-lasting silicone, which is significantly more durable compared to the latex goggle straps of yesteryear.
Larger faces may find the smaller goggle lenses uncomfortable. For those swimmers, look for racing goggles with a wider frame, like the FINIS Hayden Mirror Swim Goggles.
TYR offers the Black Ops 140 EV Racing goggles in several different colorways, including mirrored lenses, perfect for outdoor competitions and brightly lit indoor pools.
Arena Cobra Ultra Tri
Pros:
|
Cons:
|
Best open water racing goggles
The Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe Tri Goggles are the best open-water racing swim goggles, and the competition isn’t even close.
The triathlon/open water version of the popular Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe features the same anti-fog technology that resets with gentle swipes of the inside of the lens, a streamlined gasket design for maximum drag reduction, and excellent field of vision.
The Arena Cobra Ultra Tri is a swim goggle built for the demands of open water swimming, with a larger and wider lens compared to its pool-bound cousin.
This helps you better navigate and sight for buoys, course markers, other swimmers, and boats.
Additionally, the Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe Tri goggles are constructed with a heavier-duty build, featuring thicker straps and a sturdier frame specifically engineered to handle the outdoor elements.
Buckles to tailor the length of the head straps are on the side of the goggle frame versus the back of the head, as with pool goggles, for easier and quicker strap adjustments.
The slim goggle lens is polarized to eliminate glare and reduce eye strain from UV rays. The streamlined design also makes the Arena Cobra Ultra Tri an excellent goggle for triathletes and open-water swimmers to use in pool training.
Crafted for optimal speed, and wildly comfortable, the Arena Cobra Ultra Tri Swipe stands out as the ultimate choice for open water competitions, ensuring success on race day.
Sporti S2 Optical Swim Goggles
Pros:
|
Cons:
|
Best prescription racing swim goggles
The Sporti S2 Optical Swim Goggle is the best racing goggle for swimmers with a prescription who don’t want to wear contacts or glasses in competition.
Sporti offers the S2 goggles with diopters ranging from -1.5 to -8.0, and given their affordable price point of approximately $12, swimmers with anisometropia have the flexibility to purchase multiple sets to accommodate each prescription, allowing them to easily swap out the lenses as needed.
The Sporti S2 are comfortable, echoing the snug and leak-free fit of Speedo Vanquishers. The gasket is relatively slim and streamlined—the slimmest when it comes to prescription swim goggles, at least—making the S2 excellent optical goggles for competition.
Dual silicone head straps don’t tug on a swimmer’s hair under their racing cap. The silicone head straps also last forever compared to the latex head straps of swim goggles of the past.
The prescription S2 goggles are available in a clear and smoke lens, perfect for racing in darker indoor pools, but the mirrored lens is our favorite overall tint.
The Sporti S2 goggles feature a slightly thicker gasket compared to other racing goggles listed here. However, given the limited range of options for prescription goggles, swimmers may find this their best choice.
The S2 goggles, priced affordably and known for their durability, feature multiple nose pieces and easy-to-adjust head straps. Numerous diopter options are available, catering to a wide range of facial shapes and prescription needs.
FINIS Hayden Mirror Goggles
Best racing goggles for larger heads
The FINIS Hayden Mirror Goggles are the best racing goggles for swimmers with larger heads who find standard racing goggles—like the Vanquishers, Speed Sockets, or Arena Cobras—too small.
The goggles were developed with the feedback of Canadian Olympic Brent Hayden, a four-time Olympian, Olympic bronze medalist in the 100m freestyle, and World Champion in the 100m free.
The FINIS Hayden Mirror Goggles have an extra-wide frame that delivers a panoramic field of view without added drag. The curved lenses allow swimmers to see to the side and the goggles come with three interchangeable nosepieces for a secure fit.
Durable silicone head straps can be swiftly adjusted with a buckle at the back of your head to lock the goggles in place before you step up on the blocks.
The goggles are extremely comfortable, and while they are available in limited colorways, are an excellent choice for swimmers who struggle with the smaller eyepieces of popular swim goggles.
While you may not be able to swim as fast as 4-time Olympian Hayden, you can get the same comfortable fit and hydrodynamic benefits of his goggles.

Importance of Choosing the Right Goggles
The right equipment can make or break your swim on race day. And nowhere is this more apparent than with picking the right swim goggles.
Here’s what you need to know about how to choose the perfect goggles to crush your personal best times in competition:
Vision and Clarity
Swim goggles are designed primarily to help you see underwater. This is especially important when racing. Goggles allow you to time your turns perfectly, see the competition, finish on a full stroke, and reduce eye strain when racing outdoors.
Choosing the right swim goggles for swim meets means picking the goggles that give you optimal vision and clarity in the water, especially when every fraction of a second counts.
Swim goggles should give you a clear line of sight, both in terms of seeing to the sides (to keep an eye on the competition) and “up” (so that you can turn and finish each length like a pro).
Comfort and Fit
Like competition swimsuits, racing goggles should be comfortable and fit optimally.
Uncomfortable goggles can obviously be annoying, leaving marks on your face, but more importantly, they are a symptom of ill-fitting goggles that are more prone to leaks.
Goggles with adjustable head straps and multiple nose pieces are a must for swimmers who want to create a watertight seal that lets them focus on technique and race strategy instead of adjusting their goggles. Swedish goggles, like the TYR Socket Rocket 2.0, offer the ultimate in customization with adjustable nose pieces.
Rubber or silicone skirts on the goggle lens are designed to keep water out by gently sucking to the skin. These skirts vary in material and thickness but are excellent for providing a secure seal and reducing goggle marks.
Hydrodynamics
Swimmers know all too well the constant battle of overcoming drag and resistance in the water. While racing swim goggles won’t give you the same hydrodynamic advantages as, say, tech suits compared to regular lap swimming suits, they can minimize your drag profile in the water.
More importantly, a slim gasket design is less likely to get bumped around when diving into the pool, or pushing off the wall, keeping them securely in place.
A sleek, hydrodynamic design can help reduce every last bit of drag while also giving swimmers the confidence to know that goggles will stay on when swimming and diving.
Below is a comparison of the racing goggles reviewed above and each goggle's lens thickness, an indicator of how hydrodynamic and profiled they are:
| Goggle | Lens Thickness |
|---|---|
| Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe | 0.4” |
| Speedo Fastskin Pure Focus | 0.55” |
| Speedo Speed Socket 2.0 | 0.5” |
| Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 | 0.6” |
| Speedo Jr. Vanquisher 2.0 | 0.6” |
| TYR Socket Rocket 2.0 | 0.5” |
| TYR Black Ops EV | 0.6” |
| Arena Cobra Ultra Tri Swipe | 0.7” |
| Sporti Antifog S2 Optical | 0.7” |
| FINIS Hayden Mirror Goggle | 0.75” |
Types of Goggles
Choosing the right goggles is crucial for swim performance. To help navigate the large pool of goggles (ha, swim pun!) on the market, here is a look at the key differences between the most popular types of swim goggles so that you can shop and swim with confidence:
| Feature | Swedish Goggles | Mirrored Goggles | Prescription Goggles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design | Minimalist, no gasket | Similar to Swedish, with reflective lenses | Custom corrective lenses, variety in frame design |
| Lens Technology | Standard, clear | Mirrored coating for reduced glare and brightness | Corrective lenses tailored to vision prescriptions |
| UV Protection | Varies, often limited | Typically high UV protection | Depends on the lens, often included |
| Polarized Lenses | Rarely polarized | Commonly available | Available depending on the brand and model |
| Frame Material | Hard plastic, minimal silicone | Silicone or rubber for better seal | Durable materials with more comfort features |
| Seal Type | Direct contact, no cushioning | Cushioned with silicone or rubber for comfort and seal | Cushioned with silicone or foam for comfort and effective seal |
| Typical Use | Competitive racing, minimal drag | Outdoor swimming, competitive events | Swimmers needing vision correction for all swimming activities |
| Price Range | $ - Inexpensive | $$ - Moderately priced | $$$ - Can be expensive depending on prescription needs |
By considering these key differences between the various types of swim goggles, you will be positioned to choose the perfect swim goggles for race day.
Lens Technology
The lens of swim goggles is important when picking out the best racing goggles, as it affects visibility, comfort, eye performance, and performance.
Goggle lenses come in a variety of tints. The type of racing goggles you wear depends on your vision requirements on race day.
For darker indoor pools, consider a clear or colored lens such as a rose or blue tint. Swimmers competing in outdoor pools will want to opt for goggles with a mirrored or dark tint to reduce eye strain. Also consider polarised lenses, which eliminate the shimmering and blinding glare from the sun during outdoor swimming.
Open-water swimmers will similarly want mirrored or polarised lenses to reduce eye strain and allow them to navigate and sight when swimming.
Swimmers looking for prescription swim goggles will want to opt for a goggle with prescription lenses, such as the Sporti S2 Antifog Optical Goggle or the prescription version of the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 Optical Goggles.
Frame and Seal
Leaky goggles are a common frustration for swimmers, both in training and in competition. The frame and seal are primarily responsible for waterproofing the inside of the goggle lens and eliminating leaks.
Racing goggles typically have a polycarbonate gasket with a rubber or silicone skirt surrounding each eyepiece. This soft material sinks into the skin, creating a light suctioning effect that helps to keep the swim goggles in place, keep water out, and reduce the need to overtighten the head straps.
Another popular type of frame and seal with swimming purists are the skirt-less design of Swedish goggles. With no gasket, the hard plastic eyepieces sit directly on the skin.
Some swimmers swear by this goggle design—myself included—but for most swimmers, a silicone or rubber gasket is not only more comfortable but more effective for preventing water leaks.
Common Issues and Solutions
Common problems
Why do my swim goggles come off when I dive into the water?
It’s every swimmer’s worst nightmare: diving into the water on race day for their best event when their swim goggles get jostled, spring a leak, or outright peel off their face, rendering them effectively blind.
Racing goggles significantly reduce the likelihood of goggles leaking or displacing by using a hydrodynamic goggle gasket, which is thinner and more streamlined compared to regular swim goggles.
Fun Fact: A study published in the Journal of Sports Sciences, titled: “Key parameters of the swimming start and their relationship to start performance,” showed that elite swimmers dive into the water at a velocity of ~4m/s, twice the speed of surface swimming. This is a great reminder to choose sleek, hydrodynamic goggles that will stay in place when choosing a set of swim goggles for competition.
The narrower profile is not only more hydrodynamic, reducing drag, but the slimmer profile decreases the potential of goggles being jostled out of place when diving into the water at high velocity.
Swimmers worried about goggles falling off when diving into the water should also opt for racing goggles with side arms (increasing overall stability) and place their swim cap over the goggle straps to secure them to their heads.
Why do my goggles leak?
Swim goggles leak for a variety of reasons, but the primary factor is goggle lenses are not spaced optimally across the nose bridge. Goggles not fit properly to the unique shape of your face are more prone to leaking.
Hard-to-fit faces will want to opt for a truly customizable nose bridge, which can be found with Swedish goggles (like the classic Malmsten goggles or the TYR Rocket Socket, which is an updated version of the beloved classic).
Why do my swim goggles leave marks on my face?
Swim goggles leave marks on your face after an extended time in the water or when goggles are tightened excessively.
These temporary markings fade with time but can be frustrating as you move from the pool to the dry side of the water. To reduce the marks left by swimming goggles, look for goggles that have a skirt around the gasket, lenses that are optimally spaced for a leak-free fit, and eyepieces that are suitable for your face shape.
The rubber or silicone gaskets or lining around the eyepieces suction gently against the skin, creating a watertight seal without the need to overly tighten the goggle straps.
Swim goggles that leave markings on the sides of the nose mean the goggle lenses are pinching the nose, and the bridge between the goggles should be widened.
Why do my swim goggles fog up when racing?
Swim goggles all have an anti-fog coating on the inside of the lens. However, over time and exposure to chlorine and other pool chemicals, this delicate coating fades, reducing the goggles’ ability to reduce fogging.
While a certain amount of condensation is unavoidable, you can reduce excess fogging by not wiping the inside of your goggle lenses with foreign objects (including your fingers), replenishing the coating with an anti-fog spray made for swim goggles, and opting for goggles like the Arena Ultra Swipe Goggles which feature proprietary anti-fog protection.
