Abstract
An improved pair of swim goggles, especially designed of competitive swimming, is comprised of two substantially ovoid, convex lenses secured to a soft neoprene base. The goggles are simply and easily tightened about the head by a one pull toggle mechanism that provides an equal, balanced fit of the eye pieces against the face. The goggles provide less hydrodynamic resistance in the water during swimming and not only reduces fatigue by cutting down on eye strain but allows the swimmer both superior frontal and peripheral vision.
