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: Great Goggles, fog up easily
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I bought these goggles about two months ago for my college club swimming team. They fit fine, not to tight, and water doesn't leak in. However, the anti fog chemical that speedo put on only lasted for about a week. After that they fog up like crazy, which is a problem that you will have with any goggles. I just use some dish detergent before I go swimming which helps prevent fogging.Customer Review: Great goggles!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Love these goggles! They are tight, keep out the water and work for the hour of swimming I do everyday. I've had other cheaper speedo goggles and like these the best. I've only had them 2 weeks though, and didn't have to replace the nose piece.
Works great with the Dolphin Nu waterproof MP3 player!
Customer Review: I really like these goggles
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I'm new to swimming, but theses are my second pair of goggles and I just really like them. They are comfortable, they don't leak, and haven't fogged up on me yet. I think when my current pair runs out I'll just buy another of the same. I recommend them.Customer Review: Anti-fog Failure
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
Right out of the package, these fogged up. I've tried spit and water and no matter what I did, I had to dip them after several laps. This has happened on two separate pairs, although they are fairly comfortable, the fogging is VERY frustrating and disruptive to my workout.Customer Review: Okay

These goggles aren't the best. They are a bit on the uncomfortable side, the silicone covering is pretty minimal so the goggles dig and pull at the skin. They also fog up a lot. I rated them a 3 because they get the job done.
