Tested by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute: The Best Swim Goggles.

New York, NY, April 1, 2010 - Hammacher Schlemmer announces The Best Swim Goggles, after they outperformed all other models in tests by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute for suction, comfort, visibility, and adjustability.

"For 27 years, the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute has performed comparison tests to determine which products are the best of their kind," explained Tara-Ann Dugan, Product Research Manager for the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute.

A panel of experienced swimmers tested the goggles, and The Best Swim Goggles were lauded for their watertight seal, unlike lesser goggles that allowed water seepage or "fell off when diving in a pool." One swimmer remarked that The Best Swim Goggles "fit perfectly," while lesser goggles were described as "very stiff" and criticized because they "dug into the nose a little bit."

"The Best Swim Goggles have soft hypoallergenic gaskets and comfortable, pliable straps that did not pull hair like competing goggles," explained Tara-Ann Dugan, Manager of Product Research.

The Best Swim Goggles also scored best for visibility because of the anti-glare mirrored coating on the outside of the polycarbonate lenses and their anti-fogging properties, prompting swimmers to comment that they could see at all angles using the goggles.

The Best Swim Goggles? lenses block the sun?s harmful ultraviolet rays, and the 35" silicone strap adjusts easily with the ergonomic clip. The Best Swim Goggles are available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $24.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com/76787 or call 1-800-543-3366.
