Swimming Goggles & Masks

Of course! At decathlon.com.gr you will find a huge variety of swimming goggles and masks, specially designed for every age and level, from a child's first contact with water to the demanding training of an experienced swimmer. You will find everything from simple, comfortable swimming goggles for beginners with easy adjustment, to hydro-dynamic goggles for competitive swimming that offer stability during turns and are FINA-approved. On the other hand, if you prefer a larger field of vision and a softer fit on the face, pool and sea swimming masks are the ideal solution, as they feature a wide silicone frame that seals perfectly. Furthermore, all our products are equipped with anti-fog protection and UV filters so you can enjoy your dives with absolute clarity and safety.

The main difference between swimming goggles and a swimming mask lies in the size of the field of vision, the way they fit on the face, and the level of comfort they offer during swimming. Swimming goggles are smaller, more compact, and hydrodynamic, as they fit directly around the eye sockets, making them the ideal choice for competitive swimming and intense pool training, since they offer minimal water resistance and stay stable regardless of your movements.
On the other hand, a pool or sea swimming mask features a much larger silicone frame that seals around the forehead and cheeks, offering a significantly wider, panoramic field of vision and a softer, more relaxed feel without exerting pressure on the eyes.
Therefore, if you are looking for maximum performance and speed, choose goggles, whereas if you are looking for long-lasting comfort, easy adjustment, and perfect visibility in open water, a swimming mask is the most suitable solution for you.

To find swimming goggles that do not let water in, the secret is to choose the right size, which is usually S for children and narrow faces, and L for adults. Additionally, prefer Nabaiji models with an adjustable or interchangeable nose bridge so you can adjust the distance of the lenses exactly to your measurements. Opt for a wide frame made of soft silicone if you are looking for maximum comfort, and always keep in mind that watertightness is ensured by the correct shape of the goggles and not by over-tightening the rear strap.

For children, the right swimming goggles must offer absolute comfort, easy adjustment, and, above all, they should not press against their face so that they can enjoy water activities and swimming without discomfort. The ideal choice for young ages is children's goggles in size S with a wide frame made of very soft silicone, which adjust gently around the eyes without leaving marks. Extremely practical for parents are models with a single strap and an easy adjustment system on the side or back, allowing children to tighten them on their own with a single movement. For very young children or those who struggle with classic goggles, a swimming mask is the ultimate solution, as it offers a huge field of vision and sits further out on the face, eliminating any feeling of pressure. Finally, make sure they feature anti-fog protection and a UV filter, so that young swimmers have clear vision and sun protection in the pool or the sea.

To maintain the anti-fog protection on your swimming goggles and prevent them from blurring during training, the golden rule is never to touch the inside of the lenses with your fingers, towels, or cloths, as this immediately destroys the special coating. After each use in the pool or sea, simply rinse them with cold, fresh tap water to remove chlorine and salt, and let them dry naturally in a shaded place, away from the sun which dries out the silicone. When the factory protection begins to fade over time, you can use an anti-fog spray or marker before each swim, applying it to the lens and rinsing it slightly in the pool water. For their storage, always use a hard case or a cloth pouch so they do not get scratched and remain like new.

Yes, there are special swimming goggles with corrective lenses for myopia (prescription goggles), which allow you to see with absolute clarity without having to wear your contact lenses in the water, a practice that carries risks of infection. At Decathlon you will find the extremely practical Nabaiji Selfit range, which consists of an independent frame and separate corrective lenses that click onto it. This system is ideal because it allows you to choose a different prescription degree for the right eye and a different one for the left eye (with a range that usually covers from -2.00 to -6.00 diopters), providing you with a fully personalized and economical solution to enjoy your swimming with full visibility and safety.
