I couldn't believe how clear the goggles are! They didn't fog up once. Super happy with them.

The Race Train Buoyancy Shorts are designed to elevate your swimming training by offering the perfect balance of buoyancy, comfort, and natural movement to help improve your technique. Engineered to lift your body position in the water without using a pull buoy, resulting in a more streamlined position without restricting your ability to kick. Ideal for both triathletes and swimmers, whether you want the feel of a wetsuit and train like you race, or you're after that little extra speed to swim up a lane.
Aquaglide Hydrophobic Surface Coating
Hydrophobic coating for speed and efficiency through the water
Flexform Enhanced Stretch Easy On/Off
3.0 mm neoprene panels on the outer leg add extra stretch for a better fit across a wider range of body shapes
LIFTALIGN Optimal Body Position
Promotes a streamlined body position in the water.
Care & Use
Putting it on
-
Take your time, don’t rush putting them on
-
Put your shorts on dry, both you and the shorts
-
Use the cotton gloves supplied. No nails on the neoprene.
-
Pull from inside the shorts where possible, in large folds. Small pinches damage the neoprene.
Care, cleaning & storage
-
Rinse in fresh water after every swim. The shower works fine.
-
pH-neutral soap or antibacterial wipes on the neck if you've used anti-chafe lubricant.
-
Dry inside-out, out of direct sun.
-
Use non-petroleum based anti-chafe lubricant only. Petroleum degrades the neoprene and voids the warranty.
-
Avoid chlorinated pools. Chlorine degrades the neoprene and may void the warranty.
Sizing Guidance
Between sizes?
If you sit in the middle or on the upper end of our size guide, we recommend sizing up. Neoprene coupled with our liners offers 7–10%, so a firm fit on land is right for the water.
First time in buoyancy shorts?
Snug is right. Take your time putting them on, and a few swims for it to mould to your body.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What neoprene thickness are the buoyancy shorts?
-
Waist strap 2.0mm flex neoprene
-
Front panels 4.0mm flex neoprene
-
Back panel 5.0mm flex neoprene
-
Side panels 3.0mm flex neoprene
-
Inseam panel 2.0mm flex neoprene
Q: How long will buoyancy shorts last?
How long the buoyancy shorts last depends on how often you swim in them and how well you look after them, similar to a pair of runners. If you rinse after every swim, dry inside-out out of direct sun, and avoid petroleum-based lubricants and chlorinated pools, the buoyancy shorts will last longer.

I thought the last review I wrote was for these but, clearly, I was wrong. So sorry. It is these goggles that are the best and the most comfortable goggles I’ve ever worn. They don’t leak and I can’t even feel them on my face when I’m swimming. Also, they don’t fog up even after swimming laps for just under an hour. Plus, I never have red marks when I take them off.
Just did a 70.3, zero fog! Can’t say enough about these goggles. Highly recommend!
The best goggles! No leaking, yet they are soft and comfortable, even for someone with past eye and face injuries.
These goggles helped me survive my longest swim yet: 1.9km in the ocean pool. No leaks, no fogging, no adjustments. Just clear vision and a comfortable fit all the way through. Thanks Guys, they look class too 🙌
I love the clarity and comfort of these goggles. They literally do not fog up! I initially couldn’t get a tight seal and didn’t understand how to tighten the straps. I considered sending them back for a refund, but sent an email to Customer Service about my experience. And boy was I impressed! I received a very nice and supportive email from Ivan, suggesting I put the goggles under my cap and explained better how to adjust them. I swam this evening and what a game changer! The clarity underwater is absolutely freaking amazing! I felt more connected with the water during my workout. I’m competing in the State Games of America in a few weeks and finally have more excitement to train with a pair of goggles that will allow me to see the wall! Lol. I’m also registered for the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah this October. I’ll be defending my gold medal in the 200 m freestyle. Can’t wait to compete with these goggles!
Very happy kids ~ no more foggy swims!
Did two warm up swims in and committed to using it for a 70.3! No issues, really nice low light lens, and the mirror was great for sunrise glare on the way back. Have had a number of swims since with no issues. Cheers!
These are the best goggles I've ever used by far. They don't leak. The clarity is unprecedented. I could see the pollen plumes going by as I was swimming in the pond this morning. They're also comfortable and don't hurt my eyes from pressure which is really great.
this google are as useful as they are beautiful. you can see so clear underwater you forget you are under water with google. 100/10 fully recommended
I’m blind as a bat -2.5 , I’m absolutely loving these goggles, it’s making sighting so much better plus I can now see the wildlife clearly! 3 weeks, averaging about 12 mi per week and no fogging so far.

Good fit no leak
like promised, no fog, good fitting goggles, no hassle, liked it at once
Loved it at once like promised, no fog, good fitting goggles, no hassles...normally I'm wearing brider goggles, but this one still satisfied
Superb fit and comfort, and no fogging!! Excellent!
These are my first prescription goggles, and they’ve helped put joy back into my lap swims! I can see underwater again! My flip turns are improving now that I can better calculate the exact distance to the end of the lane. Also, these are the most high-quality goggles I’ve ever owned they are fog free and easy to adjust to create a seal around my eyes. Best goggles I’ve ever owned, and they’ve improved are well worth the investment.

Absolutely love HydroClear AF2000 (this resembles more like speedo vanquisher 3.0, really good for someone who loves just eyes coverage) No leaks, rubber sits perfectly PS: this is from my experience, everyone has different face shape so you need to try few to figure out what's best for you
Unfortunately recon doesnt fit my face and it leaks (my face fits a smaller/narrow type), but this is absolutely a great googles for someone prefers a wide lens and the vision inside the water is so clear PS: this is from my experience, everyone has different face shape so you need to try few to figure out what's best for you
There’s are unreal for clarity and fit, so comfortable! Where have you been all my life?
I wore these goggle during my mile open water swim in the Escape the Cape triathlon in Cape May, NJ. They stayed on jumping off the Lewes-Cape May Ferry and did not fog on the mile swim. I bought these goggles specifically for the anti-fog guarantee because if my goggles fog-up then I am unable to see my target/destination on the shore. Very happy with this purchase!
Best goggles so far! We'll see next year on my 11 mile open water Portland Bridge Swim marathon. Great for pool workouts now!
Fog free promise is delivering! Impressed also with fit and comfort. Will definitely be purchasing more pairs.
This towell is huge and luxurious.
So incredibly comfortable and an amazing uninterrupted and undistorted field of view. These are my new favourite goggles for open water.
Lunettes très confortables. Sans buée. Le top pour mes séances piscine :-)
The goggles fit great… no leakage and no fogging up. Very comfortable.
Needed a new pair of goggles for IronMan 70.3 World Championships!! Love these goggles, and they gave me a great swim through the crystal clear mediterranean!!
Overall, I’ve been pretty happy with the goggles - I bought them because I was looking for googles that wouldn’t leave rings around my eyes, and these are definitely an improvement over previous goggles. They are comfortable and don’t put as much pressure on the delicate skin around my eyes. However, I was very disappointed when the goggles arrived and I saw that the colour was not at all as advertised. The photos on the website show a lovely, soft mint/sage green, while in reality the colour is a dark army/camouflage green with very bright orange accents. I really dislike the colour, and wouldn’t have purchased this colour if it had been accurately represented on the website.
Des lunettes qui s’adapte bien à la Morphologie, avec plusieurs réglages possibles. Un confort absolu. Pas de buée à constater après 3 semaines d’utilisation ! Parfait !
These goggles are so gentle on my face and don’t dig into or leave painful marks around my eyes. The vision underwater is crystal clear, and they’ve genuinely made swimming so much more enjoyable. I absolutely love them!
I used these at the Ironman 5150 in Knokke-Heist and it didn’t fog and stayed in position and no water came in So, glad with the buy However, friends told me I paid way to much for swimming goggles 😅
These Ghosts are a beautifully made, premium in-socket style of goggles. They ooze quality, look fantastic and are perfect for pool swimming. With four nose bridge size options, you can get them to size to your face and seal perfectly, so you don't need to be overtightening the straps and punishing your face to achieve a reliable seal. The Nanoclear antifog treatment has no imperfections or distortions, so the vision is crystal clear. I really like the thoughtfulness of the design, right down to the measurement scale markings on the straps, which most other goggles don't have, which removes the guess work adjusting them to a perfect fit, every swim. They also come with a protective draw-string bag for storing and air drying them in, to save them from getting scratched or damaged amongst your gear. 10/10 :)
In my 25 years of swimming, I’ve tried many pairs of goggles. It’s a shame I only have these now. They work well in the pool, but for open-water swimming, they are absolutely fantastic.
I wore these goggles during the ICON Extreme Triathlon in Livigno, where we started swimming in the lake at 5 a.m… in complete darkness! Even in those challenging conditions, I could clearly see the buoys and navigate without any problems. Thank you, Effortless Swimming, for these incredible goggles!
I like ‘m a lot. But the first time they still fogged up when I wetted the inside with water. The second time I used spit and they stopped fogging up.
I can finally train with googles that won't fog - no matter what!
As a triathlete, swimming is definitely not my strongest leg, so having comfortable goggles is a must. I initially purchased the Recon goggles, but unfortunately they were just too large for my face. They fogged up, leaked water, and left marks around my eyes after every swim. I even tried changing the nose piece, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get them to fit comfortably. I was pretty disappointed and starting to think they just weren't going to work for me. Then I switched to the Strike model and wow, what a difference! From the first swim, they felt fantastic. The fit was perfect, with no fogging, no leaks, and no goggle marks around my eyes. I could finally focus on my swimming instead of constantly adjusting my goggles. If you have smaller facial features and like a snug, race-style fit, I can't recommend the Strike goggles highly enough. They've been an absolute game changer for me! Thanks for creating an option that works so well for smaller faces.
I tried them for the first time today. I was really happy with the anti fog, clarity and comfort of them. Unfortunately I still had goggle marks around my eyes and hadn't made the goggles tight. If I made them any looser they would come off when pushing off the wall
Incredible Goggles! Perfect for triathletes 🤩
Great vis. No fog. Could see all the marine life swimming in the marine reserve. Perfect.
