One of my favorite things about taking my son to swim lessons is seeing all the fun swim googles for kids that have become so popular over the last few years.
Eyelashes goggles! Rhinestone goggles! Shark’s teeth goggles! Sequined goggles! Where were these when I was a kid?
So we’re sharing some of our very favorite fun swim goggles for kids, at various price points, for the aspiring mermaid, merman, or merperson in your life. Looking forward to them all coming in adult sizes soon.

Elton John meets My Little Pony with the incredible collection of Bling 2.0 sparkle swim goggles, which are “selling fast” at Maisonette. No surprise–in addition to the wild prints bedazzled with rhinestones, the lenses feature UV protection. Such a thoughtful design detail, especially for kids who stay in the pool for long hours.
I am so here for a cat eye moment, especially if it involves rhinestones! So obviously I’m loving these mermaid-in training fun swim goggles for kids from Super Smalls (also at very top). You can also find them at Bergdorf and Saks, should you be a department store shopper.What a cool summer camp care package gift, in addition to all the ideas Liz has shared.
Don’t worry, glam swim goggles don’t have to cost a fortune. These unicorn swim goggles at Academy Sports are on sale for $7.99, making them a great option if your kids (3 and up) tend to forget things at the pool. Just mine? Sometimes a well-placed unicorn is all the sparkle you need.
Fun swim goggles for kids can be glitzy without the rhinestones; just peep these moon solar system swim goggles, also from Bling 2.0. For stargazers 3 and up, it’s such a cool way to keep their eyes chlorine-free. Note: Not rated for actual space travel.
And hey, if you’ve got a merman who wants something a little extra as far as swim goggles, there’s a whole bunch of shark tooth swim goggles on Amazon that are outrageous in all the right ways. They’re sure to make it safe for everyone to go back in the water. (But don’t tell any little kids where that reference comes from, ‘kay?)
For some kids, a classic Little Mermaid aesthetic will always endure, and some are falling in love with Ariel for the first time. Disney’s Ariel swim goggles deliver it perfectly, and hey, nothing classier than pearls, right? (Note: These are sadly out of stock today but we hope they’ll bring them back!)
Another trend I’ve been seeing at the pool lately is…faux eyelashes. Thankfully, these are a lot easier to apply than regular falsies and sure to stay on a lot better in the water. You can find these eyelash swim goggles for kids by Juice Box, right on Amazon, now on sale for under $15. Sweet!
