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.

Good but not perfect December 31, 2008 K. Reilly (West Caldwell, NJ) I've had these goggles for 2 weeks now - I lap swim about 2-3 times a week, and I'm a fair swimmer. Pros are the mirrored lens helps with the sun, and they are definitely more comfortable than my last pair of goggles. They keep the water out for the most part also. Con is that due to the suction of the goggles, they still leave marks on my face which is the reason that I bought new goggles - I have them pretty loose on my face to avoid this, but since there is a suction I guess it's unavoidable. Also, the nose piece is a bit difficult to change as they are fragile goggles.
Great Goggles! December 26, 2008 Ashley Payne (Oregon) These goggles are great! They have a great suction and no water gets in. The lense color is cool with the exterior mirrored finish. They fit great and are really easy to use.
they fit very well and stay on! December 19, 2008 R. Ray I've tried numerous goggles over time, as I used to be a competitive swimmer. These are definitely one of the best ones out there. I wear contact lenses so it's important that water doesn't get in the goggles and they always stay on. I also have a smaller face than normal, so it's hard to find the perfect pair of goggles. Even when jumping/diving in though, these stayed on. They are also quite comfortable. I have the violet one, and it looks pretty nice too!
Will fit large heads... December 12, 2008 J. Kimberlin (Milwaukee, WI) I have quite a large head, and I'm happy to say that they goggles fit perfectly, even with all of my hair up in a silicone cap. (which, makes my head even larger if that's possible) I did have to put them close to the max that they will loosen up; however, they work great. The last goggles I had gave me headaches because they weren't big enough, but these work great. (no headaches!)
The only irk I have is that I swim in a lap pool about 4-5 times a week. Yes, they do fog up. I have to blame it on the pool though because half of it is noticeably cooler than the other half, which, in turn, fogs my goggles up.
The tint is nice if you are swimming outside, however, I swim indoors so it does make everything a little darker. Good thing about the tint is that they do reduce the glare from the water (and the reflection overall).
Good quality goggles, I would definitely buy them again -
Great November 5, 2008 Douglas J. Mcleod if you are in the market to get goggles this is a great pair. Got them for my wife and i am glad i got two since my son aquired one.
