A few years ago I got back into swimming. In my childhood I’d gone to lessons for years; represented my schools in competitions and my swimming club too. Then for many years I just swam for fun with friends or family. Pregnancy saw me back in the water for a while, as it was just so easy to move in the pool, but after my son was born I transferred my efforts into teaching him to swim well. Eventually though I felt the need to get back into the water and swim on a more serious basis for fitness, health and enjoyment. Now I swim three or four times a week and clock up 50 lengths a time in a 30+ metre pool. A key part of my swimming routine is wearing good quality goggles – it makes such a difference. When you swim with your face down in the water most of the time, you do need to protect your eyes. But, finding the right pair of goggles can take some trial and error. It’s so annoying to be always adjusting your goggles because water gets in or to find that your vision is impeded because the lenses keep misting up. Getting the goggles right though makes such a difference to your swimming, making swimming a much more pleasurable experience.
These Ninja Swimming Goggles from Phelps are very luxurious with their gold titanium mirrored lens. They are a streamlined racing goggle designed for ‘serious competition’ swimmers but obviously any swimmer may like to get their hands on it! I certainly would.
They are made in Italy using Aqua Sphere technology and were developed by Michael Phelps and his coach Bob Bowman. To get a perfect fit there’s a Race Fit Strap System for one-time low-profile strap adjustment. Simply fit it and forget it.
Curved lens technology for 180 degree panoramic view, so you can spot swimmers to the side without altering your head position and messing up your stroke. An ultra soft Softeril gasket provides watertight comfort and the four interchangeable nose bridges help ensure your perfect fit. Various lens options are available, including clear, smoke and mirrored. This gold titanium coated mirrored option offers ultimate glare protection for max visibility in bright conditions and also reflective glare conditions. Super for outdoor sun/cloud and indoor artificial light. FINA approved for racing.

Lovely giveaway. Thanks for the chance!
Gosh swimming seems like a distant memory
I used to be a keen swimmer and swam competitively in my youth. But I haven’t swum for over a decade now and wonder if I even remember how to.
Great for my grandson when we get back to normal
I can’t wait to get back to the pool so these would be fabulous
Great for when life is little bit more normal
These would be fab thanks
nice prize
looking forward to be able to go swimming again
they look cool and i bet they work well too
These would be brilliant
My daughter loves swimming, but struggles to find reliable goggles. These look great, thanks for the review.
Love the look of these!
Love to give these a try!
Great prize – thanks for the chance!
There’s nothing worse than fogged up goggles when trying to swim.
Gosh, yes they are luxurious. Much more cool and robust than the cheapies that we struggle with while swimming.
I can’t actually swim! Well I can doggy paddle and attempt to swim from A-B. But if my feet can’t touch the floor then I’m panicking. I was having lessons before lockdown and they suggested goggles as a glasses wearer it’s so strange to not have my glasses on and the goggles may give me that added comfort, as well as help my already lacking vision.
these look fantastic for when we are able to get out and about and go wild swimming again
would be useful for my grandson
These be great for my boy(s)
These look wonderful, we cannot wait to go swimming again
Been such a long time since we’ve been swimming. I can’t wait to start again.
Thank you for sharing X
Oh I could definitely do with some posh new goggles – have just put a small pool with counter current in my garden so after months of locked down swimming pools I am finally getting my daily fix of my favourite sport. Thanks for offering this <3
If I won these I would need to be very careful not to leave them in the changing room!
Fab prize x
These would be good to use when we can swim again.
