Goggles (not required)
Our Favorite Goggles, Hands down!
These are cute but also incredibly functional. The bungee strap doesn’t pull hair, and they do an excellent job of keeping water out and don’t need much adjusting. Multiple color choices available!
FINIS DragonFlys - Comes in 8 fun patterns
Comfortable, easy-to-put-on goggles that won’t get caught in hair. Will float in the water, so you don’t have to worry about losing them!
EverSport - Snap on and off
These goggles work well and are easy to get on and off. They aren’t great for especially small faces, but for kids 4+ with average-sized faces they’re great! A few more we like - in both youth and adult sizes.
TYR Swimple Youth Goggles
These goggles have easy-to-adjust straps and anti-fog coating. Comes in 11 different brightly colored combos.
Speedo Hydrospex Bungee - More Colors!
Still one of our favorites! Here’s another popular color option.
Vvinca Kids Swim Goggles with Bungee Strap

Ear Protection
These should not be used regularly but ONLY if a child has a medical ear issue that requires them to not get water in their ears. It’s good for kids to get used to water in their ears but if ear plugs are medically necessary, these help ear plugs stay in. You do have to purchase ear plugs separately but the headband helps keep the earplugs in.
4-Pack Swim Headbands
Adjustable in size, these headbands are functional and fun! Recommended for ages 7 and up. Doesn’t fit as well on smaller heads.(Please don’t use these unless instructed by a doctor to not get water in your child’s ears.)
Ear Band-It Swimming Headband
Invented by an Ear, Nose, Throat physician, these are designed to hold ear plugs in place while swimming. Available in three sizes and five colors. (Please don’t use these unless instructed by a doctor to not get water in your child’s ears.)
