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.

Sports reviews of Speedo Vanquisher Swim Goggle
Customer Review: Glad I listened to the previous reviews
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I had just gotten into triathlons when I bought these... i actually started out with a pair of goggles that my friend loaned me... and I thought they worked great.. until I tried these on... I used these on my first triathlon, and will continue to use them until they break... i love them... thanks to all the reviewers before me...Customer Review: Buying my second pair right now
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
my last pair of Vanquisher goggles lasted me just over a year and a half. And they were so good I'm buying my second pair today. Very comfortable, excellent for either practice or competition. Mine only broke because I fiddled with the adjuster in the back a lot, and it eventually snapped. These are well worth the money.Customer Review: Good, I enjoyed.

I used these and I like them. I have a big head, but these still fit! I can see the bottom of the pool with no water leaking into and no fogs. I chose smoky color, so they do not see me, but I can see them. I do not want people to recognize me; when swimming, I am like a hippo bathing after eating full lunch.Customer Review: Excellent value for a big head
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have a huge head -- very large. My hat size is 8 and I have a very hard time finding glasses that fit my face.
So I was a bit concerned that these goggles would fit right. BINGO! I love them. They're comfortable around the eyes and at the bridge of the nose. I would absolutely buy them again.
Customer Review: Excellent stuff!
