About Speedo
In 1914, Speedo was founded in Australia by Alexander MacRae, a 22-year-old Scottish immigrant who arrived in the country in 1910. The company began when MacRae Hosiery manufacturers, established by Alexander in 1914, extended the manufacture of underwear to swimwear and became MacRae Knitting Mills. A naming competition was held by the staff in 1928 and won by a Captain Parsonson, who coined the slogan, "Speed on in your Speedos." In 1929, the first swimsuits were in production and it didn't take long for Speedo to successfully establish itself. World War II caused the brand turn over 90% of it's manufacturing to war production, providing the armed services with vital equipment such as mosquito nets. After the war, Speedo opened a new factory and was able to re-establish itself, due to increased demand for swimsuits. In 1951, Speedo Knitting Mills (Holdings) Ltd, was incorporated and became a publicly traded company on the Sydney Stock exchange.

Speedo hit the international stage in earnest, at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, and a few years later the brand grew on a more global scale. Export sales to the USA began and an international division was set up to monitor trade in New Zealand, Japan and South Africa. The expansion of the brand continued, and in 1976, Speedo was appointed as the official swimwear for the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where 52 out of 54 countries wore their swimsuits.

Speedo continues to make its mark in the pool and on the beach today. Many world class athletes who wear Speedo include U.S. phenomenon Michael Phelps, legendary Australian swimmer Grant Hackett, world record holder Kosuke Kitajima from Japan, and Holland's Inge de Bruijn.

5 out of 5 stars best gogggles ever had   August 18, 2008
i bought these from another store, and they are great. i just got out of the pool and not a drop reached my eyes. the anti-fog feature is great. i recommend anyone to buy them.
oh and one last thing i bought the gold one and it look fabulous.



5 out of 5 stars Great goggles   August 17, 2008
I have yet to actually use these in a pool but they seem much higher quality than other goggles I have used. I also have no dent in the bridge of my nose which makes finding a pair of goggles that fit extraordinarily hard but these pair actually fit!


2 out of 5 stars Good design, however poor Anti-Fog feature...   August 5, 2008
After I lost my beloved Speedo swim goggles (can't remember its model) I started looking for a new one. With the impression of those positive reviews, I bought a blue Vanquisher Plus.

Well, the antireflective mirrored layer works fine under sunshine and looks cool also. It has 3 separate nosepieces so that you can use the appropriate one to adjust the goggle on your face. However it's very hard to attach/detach them as the connections are too tight.

My biggest disappointment is its Anti-Fog feature that vanished after the second use! I wore them at the sea, not in the pool (so no chlorine) and without touching the inner layer I rinsed them with fresh water after each use. However nothing can be seen through the foggy glass now. What a pity... Well, I am not expecting Anti-Fog feature to last forever of course, but come on Speedo, it couldn't survive even a weekend!



2 out of 5 stars I expected more from Speedo...   July 13, 2008

I was impressed by all the positive reviews here at Amazon.com for these Speedo Vanquisher Plus swim goggles. I purchased the reflective gold type. When they arrived, I tried different sizes of nosepieces, which were difficult for me to change. I could not get a tight enough seal to keep the water out, no matter which nosepiece I tried. So I tightened the strap, but this made the goggles hurt.

I bought these to replace some TYR goggles (similar to these) that were lost. They had no separate nosepiece; the goggles and nose bridge were all one piece. They were the best goggles I ever had. They had a much wider field of visibility than these Speedo goggles (from what I could tell before the water started leaking). I think it's because the sealing gasket on these Speedo goggles is so small.

I am giving these goggles two stars because my wife seems to like them just fine, otherwise I myself would give them one star. She says it is because I have "deep-set" eyes. I didn't think I had that weird of a face, though.

I am just a recreational/lap swimmer, not competitive. Also, these "mirrored" goggles are like sunglasses. So when swimming laps indoors, you may find them too dark.



5 out of 5 stars Tight goggles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   May 17, 2008

These goggles rock! They are the best ones I have ever had! They are comfortable, never leak, never fall off, and they look tight! They're mirrored so that when I'm swimming backstroke the sun doesn't get in my eyes and the chlorine never bothers my eyes anymore! I got them on Amazon for alot less than at all the local stores, and they seem to work better than the ones at those stores! These goggles rock!
