Whether you’re just learning to swim or waking up at 5am to freeze in a lake, we’ve reviewed and listed the best goggles on the market. Each pair were tested for fit, comfort, shape, visibility and durability, with a little consideration for how much they'll intimidate opponents at the start of a race.</p> <p>We’ve also asked two experts — swimming coach and blogger Fiona Ford (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161126092126/http://www.fionafordcoaching.com/" target="_blank">fionafordcoaching.com</a>) and Debbi Marco, editor of Triathlon Plus (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161126092126/http://www.triradar.com/" target="_blank">triradar.com</a>) — to pick out some of their favourites.</p> <p>In the pool the fastest goggles are hydrodynamic: a small and smoothly-moulded frame designed to move through the water with less drag. </p> <p>Open water swimming has its own requirements. "When you are removed from the safe, calm security of the pool, goggles need to deliver much more than just protect your eyes from chlorine," says Debbi. "They must guard against reeds, fish and algae. Just as importantly you need good visibility in both a dark murky lake as well as in glorious sunshine, as you lift your head out of the water to ‘sight’ you’re on course."</p> <p>Polarised lenses cut down the glare from sunlight and protect the eyes from UV, making them essential for outdoor swimming. Mirrored lenses also reduce the amount of light coming in, and most importantly look really cool. Indoor swimmers may find these lenses a little dark.</p> <p>1. <strong>Maru Groove Polarised:</strong> £18, amazon</p> <div class="dnd-widget-wrapper context-sdl_editor_representation type-image"><div class="dnd-atom-rendered"><!-- scald=3963826:sdl_editor_representation --><div class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20161126092126im_/https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2015/10/21/17/maru.jpg" width="500" height="215" alt="maru.jpg" title="maru.jpg"/></div><!-- END scald=3963826 --></div><div class="dnd-caption-wrapper"><br/></div></div> <p>Here’s an extremely comfortable option for outdoor swimming.
