il y faut limer les coins qui rentrent dans le nez car ce sont les point de moulage et ils sont souvent saillant !

This swimming article covers everything about Swedish goggles, the type I have worn my entire swimming and triathlon career. When I am at the starting line of a triathlon and see a guy I don’t know who is wearing Swedes, I assume he is a good swimmer with college experience. It may sound silly that goggles tell so much, but it has worked for me. If you are at a race where nobody knows you, it may be to your advantage to wear Swedes if you aren’t a good swimmer, just because people will think you are fast and hand over a better starting position in the wave. Or, if you are a good swimmer and an unknown, it may be better to skip the Swedes so that the swimmers in the field don’t know who you are.
The great thing about Swedes is that you can make them fit perfectly if you are a Cyclops (eyes very close together) or a horse (eyes on the side of your head). They are cheap: you can buy Swedes in quantity for less than five dollars a pair when I last checked. And there is nothing more comfortable, even the best foam goggles. The downside of Swedes is that they tend to break, especially if you leave them in the sun or swim in highly chlorinated pools. I will now go through a step by step process of goggle building, including pictures for reference.
Included in a Swede goggle package are: a long elastic strap, 2 eyepieces, a nose piece and short piece of string (see before/after picture below). Additional items you will need include scissors and an abrasive material like sandpaper or nail file. I will differentiate between how you should build racing goggles and practice goggles. Racing goggles are those that you are counting on to fit perfectly for one or two races and not break. Practice goggles are built to last but may not be as reliable.
Swedish Goggle Instruction 1
Swedish Goggles 2
Step A – File the eyepieces: Swedes typically have a slight amount of flash (sharp edges) on the outside rim of the eyepiece. This doesn’t really matter on any part of the goggle other than by the nose. Flash by the nose typically digs into the skin and isn’t very comfortable. This problem is easily resolved by taking a nail file or sandpaper and removing the flash. You can lightly polish the area with your fingernail or polish to make it smooth again.
Step B, C, D & E – Fit the eyepieces: Use the scissors to cut the nosepiece to appropriate length (Step B). If you are a Cyclops (eyes close together), you will cut up to a half centimeter off. If you are a Horse, (eyes far apart) you may not need to cut anything. Assemble the eyepieces together using the string and tie the string into a simple knot (Steps C & D). Hold the goggles to your face (Step E). It should feel like they are just a little too close together (the distance will widen when you tighten the knot). Once you have got it right then pull knot tight. Again, check the distance. If they are goggles you intend to race with, the fit should feel perfect. For practice goggles, you want the fit to be a tiny bit tight to the nose to account for the fact that the goggles will loosen over time.
Swedish Goggles Instructions 3
Step F, G & H – Assemble the strap: Bring one loop through both eyepieces, being careful not to twist the elastic in between (Step F). You want this loop to be very tight (for both racing and practice goggles). Fit it around your head. Then, grab hold of the two loose ends and tie around the back of your head (Step G). Remove the goggles and pull on the outer ends of the straps to cinch the knot. Put the goggles back on again and confirm that the fit is right (Step H). Race goggles should be tight, while practice goggles should be snug.
Step I & J – Cut the ends – Use the scissors to cut the nose string (Step I). You want to leave about a half centimeter of loose ends. This distance is important as the knot will slowly loosen over time and so if you leave anything less the goggles may break quickly. If you leave the strings too long they become a visual distraction while swimming. Finally, cut the ends of the elastic strap (Step J). Leave about a centimeter at the ends.
For all of the benefits of Swedes, the drawback is that they break. I had an unfortunate experience with this back at the 2006 Pigman Sprint Triathlon. I made the mistake of using older goggles, and they broke at the nose piece with 30 seconds to go before the race start. It does help to know the sponsors however, many thanks to Kevin O’Connor of Gear West. The start was actually delayed so I could get a replacement pair of goggles. This is the only time I have ever heard this happen for anyone, and I don’t think I will get a second chance again! Ever since, I build new goggles for the first race of every season and for every A-race in the season. I have not had a problem since.
A common concern with switching from foam padding to Swedes is that they feel like they will leak. This is because foam padding keeps water well away from the eyepiece. Non-foam goggles allow water to flow right up to the eyepiece-skin contact. This feels weird for users of foam goggles, who would associate this feeling with leaking goggles.
The reality is that Swedes don’t leak. The hard surface allows the goggle to function like a suction cup over the eye which holds it in place better. This allows for a better fit and makes it more difficult to be torn off your face during a race. Now you know everything you need to know (and a whole lot more!) about Swedish goggles. Until next time, happy training!

History of the Swedish Goggles 080715
EMH
Swedish Goggles:
Why Swedish Goggles are called Swedish Goggles.
Malmsten AB is the manufacturer
of the original Swedish Goggles
, and as you have noticed the term
has been translated into German as ́Schwedenbrille ́.
In many markets around the world they are simp
ly known as the Swedish Goggles. However, we
have seen in France that they are called Lunettes Suèdoises.
It all started about 35 years ago.
Tommy Malmsten the head coach of a very succes
sful swim club in Sweden, Kristianstads SLS, and
Olympic coach, had a very promising swimmer called Ann-Sofi Roos. However, the skin around her
eyes was sensitive and she suffered from allergies
and eczemas. Tommy, being a problem-solver by
nature, developed a pair of swim goggles that di
d not have the commonly
used foam around the
lenses, and soon they became a household name in the Swedish swimming field.
He called them ́monterbara simglasögon`, since you
had to assemble these. They came in a plastic
bag with two high quality lenses, a rubber band, a plastic nose bridge and a cord.
In the beginning, the lenses were made in a
small village called Säta
röd, in Skåne, Tommy
purchased rolls with rubber bands and tubes to be
cut and used as nose bridges, and the cord was
purchased in a local store that
carried yarn. Tommy and his family
often sat around the kitchen
table and put these kits into small plastic bags, the
way they were originally sold and are still sold
today.
The success of these Swedish goggles was that yo
u had to assemble the ́monterbara simglasögon ́
(the Swedish Goggles) yourself and so they fit
perfectly. It soon became a tradition for elite
swimmers to sit (therapeutically) assembling their Swedish goggles before an important swim meet.
However, today much R&D has been put into its de
sign and they are manufactured for Malmsten AB,
with our own tool, in China.
They have been refined and improved with the a
im that the elite swimmers significantly benefit
from them in their quest for medals and records
in Championship swimming. They are available a
standard model (in six colours), anti fog model (i
n three colours) and the metallic model (in three
colours), still however, in its
famous plastic bag packaging.
As Swedish elite swimmers brought these with them
around Europe and to the United States, they
initially became known as the ́Monterbara ́ Goggl
es from Sweden and soon, since ́Monterbara ́
was evidently not easy to pronounce became know simply as the Swedish Goggles. Today 35 years
later, ́Monterbara Simglasögon ́ is no longer
their official name, but Swedish Goggles is.
Today Malmsten AB manufactures these goggles for big companies such as Speedo, on whose
packaging you can read ́original Swedish goggles by
Malmsten ́. Other companies try to copy these,
and ARENA has just recently come out with a mode
l that they call ́Swedish elite competition ́.
The Swedish Goggles are probably the swim goggles
mostly used by elite swimmers today, and at
the recent European Championships in Eindhoven a
majority of finalists wo
re the Swedish Goggles
by Malmsten AB.
For the European Championships in Trieste, Ital
y, in 2005, we made a special edition with a
́diamond-like rock ́ inserted into one of the
lenses, and for the European Championships in
Eindhoven, our special edition, was made
in mirror glass in the flashy colours.
The Swedish Goggles are shipped across the world an
d we receive inquiries from swimmers near and
far.
They are probably the worlds most copied sw
im goggles, for which we are very proud.
