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.

-
failure to follow the care instructions on our website (for example, using petroleum-based lubricants on wetsuits, exposing wetsuits to similar chemical substances, or swimming in chlorinated pools), which may result in damage and void the warranty.
We reserve the right to examine any claimed damage and make the final decision on its nature and cause. If we determine the defect is the result of customer mishandling, or if any of the above exclusions apply, Great Ocean Performance will not be responsible for repair or replacement costs.

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
They’re all you claimed them to be, my main concern ocean swimming is avoiding fog, especially during sunrise, and they’re also very comfortable.
I absolutely love my Flex goggles and they don't leave any under eye marks and they virtually feel invisible on my face! Thank you so much and I'm so happy I have them!!
I swim in the pool and ocean and find them to be great, it did take me a couple of swims to get the best fit. Now I forget I have them on. A++ I would definitely buy them again
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
New goggle day! So far no fogging for the entire workout. Great fit as well.
It is the best Goggles I've used so far! Comfortable and clear, no fog as advertised. I'm glad that I tried it and will definitely keep using it!
Muy profesionales. Me devolvieron el dinero rapidamente porque me hacían marca. Gente muy honesta y profesional.
Being able to see clearly when swimming makes a big difference.
(Prescription) NanoClear™ Strike Swim Goggles Clear - (Black)
Großartig!!! Selbst hier im 🍂 Herbst in der Ostsee!!! 11 Grad im Wasser und diese Schwimmbrille beschlägt nicht .Sie gibt einen großartigen Blick auf Fische und Feuerquallen😉!
Loving both goggles
Amazing goggles - super clear and no fogging.
Just wore the new goggles on an ocean swim ( Gulf of America, St Pete Beach) For a 1/2 mile swim and NO lines from the goggles!
I am pretty disappointed in these as one of your main selling ads is how they leave no marks - I did find it hard to believe as to have leak free goggles they have to be tight and of course leave goggle marks They are just the same as my present ones which were half the price ! Your models in the ads clearly have younger skin or are touched up ! So sorry I can’t leave an amazing review I swim laps in an outside pool
There’s are unreal for clarity and fit, so comfortable! Where have you been all my life?
Wonderful The ghosts very light and with the perfect size for swimming in the pool I love them
Hello guys, i ordered 2 swim googles for me and my wife and its only my googles that have this foging problem in the middle of the eyes. My wifes googles work fine. I tried to do it with them not wet, i tried with wetting them i tried spit, i tried soap... nothing changed the fog in the middle.... My wifes googles are fine and she is happy with them.
I absolutely love my flex goggles…they are a game changer and this photo shows me crossing the finish line after swimming 8 hours and 8 minutes wearing my effortless goggles! They are just that! No fogging, super comfortable and great visibility! Am training to swim the English Channel in 2027, these goggles all the way!!
I love it !!
They were great did my first ocean swim very clear no fogging
Definitely getting goggle marks each time.. you have stated no marks, this is not true and I would like a refund. Thank you.
Very comfortable i still have marks but they are reduced
I wasn't sure about my Strike goggles in my pool sessions because at times they would fog up and leak on my push off. I am a very seasoned swimmer and know how to adjust my goggles to fit my face, which I do like about the Strike googles with their interchangeable nose pieces. BUT I LOVE THEM NOW! I completed an ocean swim over the Great Barrier Reef and my goggles were amazing! I could see the reef and wildlife clearly all the way through my swim. No fog. No leaks. Even in the rough conditions. Thank you!
Really found it challenging to change the nose bridge and then still leaking when swimming. After about 3 attempts I think I might have it right🤷♀️. I do love the vision through the goggles. I’m using “strike” but will try “flex” haven’t tried “viper “ yet.
