Outdoor swimming<\/span> offers <\/span>swimmers<\/span> a connection with nature that <\/span>pool swimming<\/span> just cannot provide. Are you a <\/span>competitive swimmer<\/span> or perhaps somebody that enjoys the improved mental health that <\/span>open-water swimmers<\/span> often report<\/span><\/a>? Or are you simply curious about the <\/span>swimming experience<\/span> that the great outdoors offers? Whatever your answer is to these questions, it’s imperative that you protect your eyes so you can keep on swimming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we will explain the basics of <\/span>open-water swimming<\/span> goggles<\/span> and what makes them different from the <\/span>pair of goggles<\/span> you use in the pool. We’ll offer some tips on choosing your own along the way. Lastly, we’ll take a deep dive into the selection of <\/span>open-water swimming<\/span> goggles<\/span> that you can find in the <\/span>arena<\/span> store.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are <\/b>Open-Water Swimming<\/b> Goggles<\/b>?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Close-up<\/p>\n

Open-water swimming<\/span> is more unpredictable than <\/span>indoor swimming<\/span>, with <\/span>swimmers<\/span> facing more hazards<\/span><\/a>. The <\/span>best open-water swimming goggles<\/span> will offer a higher level of protection and, therefore, have features that you won’t usually see with <\/span>indoor pool goggles<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Greater <\/b>Field of Vision<\/b><\/h3>\n

When swimming indoors, we tend to follow the lines beneath us as we swim in lanes, rendering our <\/span>peripheral vision<\/span> useless. When swimming outdoors, in events such as <\/span>triathlons,<\/span> we need to be constantly aware and vigilant about fellow <\/span>triathletes<\/span> and other hazards. The <\/span>best swim goggles<\/span><\/a> for <\/span>open-water swimming<\/span> will have <\/span>curved lenses,<\/span> meaning you’ll never lose sight of the space around you and other <\/span>competitive swimmers<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some <\/span>open-water swimming<\/span> goggles<\/span> can be a similar size to snorkelling <\/span>swim masks<\/span> and are the <\/span>perfect fit<\/span> for those wanting to swim casually and take it all in. However, if you are a competitive swimmer where every second counts, you may opt for smaller goggles designed with hydrodynamics in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protection From the Sun<\/b><\/h3>\n

Sunny days<\/span> are a pleasure to swim in when your eyes aren’t affected. Many <\/span>open-water swimming<\/span> goggles<\/span> offer <\/span>UV protection<\/span> which can prevent your eyes from becoming damaged over time. Bright <\/span>light conditions<\/span> can cause accidents as well, especially during <\/span>Ironman<\/span>-style events where you may find yourself surrounded by hundreds of other <\/span>swimmers<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a number of different types of lenses available that offer varying levels of protection from the sun. If you decide to get your goggles from arena, all the goggles in the range offer UV protection, regardless of the lens color.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to the tint or color of lenses, you may want to choose based on the brightness of the light conditions. <\/span>Tinted lenses<\/span> will help you see in brighter <\/span>light conditions<\/span>. A <\/span>smoke lens<\/span> tint will help to reduce brighter lights and glare, whereas an amber lens will reduce glare and improve your visibility. Violet or pink lenses can reduce glare in moderate <\/span>light conditions<\/span>. They are a good choice for <\/span>swimmers<\/span> that want one pair of goggles for both pool and <\/span>outdoor swimming<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mirrored lenses<\/span> are commonly seen on <\/span>triathlon <\/span>swim goggles<\/span>. They look quite intimidating and can give you an edge over your opponents. <\/span>Mirror goggles<\/span> also offer a reduction in brightness and glare similar to <\/span>tinted lenses<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the most <\/span>high-quality<\/span> image when swimming, <\/span>polarized lenses<\/span> are the top-tier lens choice. <\/span>Polarized lenses<\/span> filter light so that only vertical light waves can travel through to your eyes. This gets rid of the horizontal light waves that bounce off the surface of the water. It results in a darker yet clearer image where details are easier to see.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anti-Fog Coating<\/b><\/h3>\n

Almost all <\/span>swimming goggles<\/span> these days will have some form of <\/span>anti-fog coating<\/span> already built in (the entire arena range includes this feature). It’s good to check online or with other <\/span>swimmers<\/span> to check the effectiveness of the coating. A <\/span>tinted lens<\/span> that’s fogged up can render you temporarily blind during a race, which could put you in all sorts of trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protection From Water<\/b><\/h3>\n

When swimming outdoors, you may not have to contend with chlorine, and there may be a temptation to follow the purists and use as little equipment as possible. But having post-swim <\/span>raccoon eyes<\/span> will be the least of your worries, as natural water can be full of hundreds of <\/span>species of bacteria, viruses, and fungal pathogens<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which <\/b>Open-Water Swimming<\/b> Goggles<\/b> Are Right for You?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Man<\/p>\n

Researching a product you don’t know much about can quickly lead you down an internet rabbit hole, leaving you with more questions than answers. Let’s save some time and answer those questions now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most <\/span>open-water swimming goggles<\/span> are larger than <\/span>pool goggles,<\/span> so you shouldn’t have to worry about your <\/span>field of vision<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Always go for an <\/span>anti-fog<\/span> lens \u2014 this is an industry standard these days \u2014 with a lens type that suits your swimming conditions. If most of your swimming happens on overcast days in murky water, a <\/span>clear lens<\/span> will be the best choice despite how cool <\/span>mirrored lenses<\/span> look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>comfortable fit<\/span> is also a very important factor in choosing your <\/span>open-water swimming<\/span> goggles<\/span>. If you can, try a friend\u2019s goggles before purchasing your own. You want to make sure that the lenses are comfortable and that they won’t let any water in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that you understand what to look out for, let’s take a look at the <\/span>open-water swimming<\/span> goggles<\/span> you can get now at the <\/span>arena<\/span> store. Please note that what you see below is just a small selection of the open-water goggles arena has, check out the <\/span>goggles section<\/span><\/a> of their online store for the full range.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cobra Core Swipe Mirror Goggle<\/b><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>Cobra Core Swipe Mirror Goggles<\/span><\/a> turn an age-old frustrating <\/span>anti-fog<\/span> problem on its head. With most <\/span>anti-fog<\/span> goggles, when they eventually become fogged up <\/span>swimmers<\/span> will swipe them with a finger to get <\/span>clear lenses<\/span> and keep on swimming (which we don\u2019t recommend doing with non-swipe goggles). It may actually remove some of the thin <\/span>anti-fog<\/span> film from the lens, damaging them in the long term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the <\/span>anti-fog<\/span> technology on the Cobra Core Swipe Mirror Goggles lasts 10 times longer than standard <\/span>anti-fog<\/span> lenses. The amazing thing is that swiping the goggles while underwater with your finger <\/span>actually activates the technology<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

These lenses also come with <\/span>UV protection<\/span> and feature interchangeable nose bridges, which provides a highly customized and more <\/span>comfortable fit<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cobra Core Swipe Mirror Goggles are a great choice for competitive swimmers that split their time between the pool and open water, as they are highly hydrodynamic and built for speed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cobra Tri Swipe Mirror Goggle<\/b><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>Cobra Tri Swipe Mirror Goggle<\/span><\/a> is the best triathlon option, as it\u2019s been specifically developed with triathletes in mind. The unique design stops the flow of water over the lenses, allowing for optimal vision over long distances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These goggles also feature larger lenses, meaning your peripheral vision is improved. That\u2019s an important addition when swimming alongside hundreds of other hungry triathletes or if you\u2019re an open-water swimmer who prefers larger lenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cobra Tri Swipe Mirror Goggles come with an <\/span>adjustable<\/span> split strap and interchangeable <\/span>nose bridges<\/span> for the <\/span>perfect fit<\/span> so that you feel confident in your choice before you enter the water.<\/span><\/p>\n

The One Mask<\/b><\/h3>\n

The One Mask<\/span><\/a> is a great alternative option for the outdoor fitness swimmer. The mask offers a huge <\/span>field of vision<\/span> and features ergonomically designed <\/span>gaskets<\/span> that have been engineered to create a strong watertight seal around the eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their wide fit means you won’t find yourself with unwanted pressure on your <\/span>eye sockets<\/span>, giving you a more comfortable swim. This allows for a more enjoyable experience during prolonged pool and outdoor swimming sessions. These goggles will be a great companion to outdoor swimmers who frequent murkier waters, as the clear lenses allow for ample use of peripheral vision.<\/span><\/p>\n

This mask is also great for indoor training, giving you flexibility if you aren\u2019t solely an outdoor swimmer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get Outside<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

There’s a reason <\/span>outdoor swimming<\/span> is all the rage at the moment. It’s an experience that cannot be matched by <\/span>indoor swimming<\/span>, a freedom that outdoor aficionados are sure to tell you about. All you need is a <\/span>swimsuit<\/span>, a pair of <\/span>open-water swimming goggles<\/span>, and a body of water. Please make sure that you stay safe while in open water though, as there are many more risks to be aware of.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you decide to take the plunge, do your research and talk to other <\/span>swimmers<\/span>. A good pair of <\/span>open-water swimming goggles<\/span> will last for years and should make the experience even more enjoyable. <\/span>Take a look at the <\/span>arena<\/span> store<\/span><\/a> for an impressive lineup of goggles for just about every niche \u2014 with the accessories to look after them too, such as anti-fog spray and carry cases. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
