'''Swedish Goggles''' are a popular type of [[goggles|swimming goggles]] worn by many competitive swimmers, these are basically the only type of goggles that professionals use in races. The most outstanding feature of these goggles is their cheap price, (usually around $4.00 or less) and lack of a gasket or seal around the eye-cup, found on more traditional goggles. They come in various colors including blue, green, red, amber, and pink. Many companies also manufacture metallic or mirrored Swedish goggles, although these usually cost more than the regular versions (up to $11.00).
Also common among Swedish goggles, is that they are purchased un-assembled, giving users extreme flexibility in design and fit. Usually supplied with each goggle set are: two eye-cups, one long (around 36") [[latex]] rubber strip (long enough to be a double head strap), and one piece of string and plastic/rubber tube for a nose piece.
