How do I choose the right power for me? ↑top↑

A spectacle prescription is usually written in the following form:

	sphere		cylinder		axis
R	-3.00	/	-0.50	x	180
L	-3.50	/	-1.00	x	180

In order to calculate the power you need to take into account the two aspects of your prescription.

The sphere (or sph) is the main part of your prescription and will be ‘–’ for short-sightedness (myopia) and ‘+’ for long-sightedness (hypermetropia).
The cylinder (or cyl) is the secondary part of your prescription and refers to the amount of astigmatism you have.

You should base the power you order primarily on the amount of short or long sightedness you have. If you also have a moderate degree of astigmatism, incorporate up to half of this to choose the most appropriate power. Most swimming goggles come in 0.50 steps so you may have to select the nearest power.

Unless you have a very basic prescription, most swimming goggles will not provide the same level of vision as your glasses or contact lenses. However, they will provide adequate vision for use in and around a swimming pool.

If you are in doubt please with your prescription and we can make a recommendation.

How long will it be before my goggles are delivered? ↑top↑

We are able to supply most swimming goggles within a week.
The Swimmi, Vantage and diving masks take slightly longer, 10-14 days
Custom made goggles, the Swimvision, can take up to 28 days

If you need a goggle by a specific date please say so when you order and we will contact you if we are unable to fulfil this.

Do you do non-prescription goggles? ↑top↑

We specialise in prescription goggles for swimming, but we do have a couple of non-prescription models which can be viewed online.

Can I get spare parts? ↑top↑

If you have a broken or damaged swimming goggle then we may be able to help. Details of the models we can get Spare Parts for are available online.
