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.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter LOVES these, November 17, 2006

By	S. Bryan "Swim Mom" (Smyrna, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My daughter is on the high school swim team. She has been swimming for about 7 years now. We recently moved and she's attending a new high school. When asked what goggles he recommended, the coach opened his file cabinet and handed us a pair of Vanquisher goggles. My daughter tried them at her next practice and came home from school praising these goggles. She wears contacts in the pool and says that no water gets under these googles. She also said that they are very comfortable. I'm back to buy a couple pair for her younger sister.
UPDATE: My youngest (age 14) loves them too, and my girls never agree!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fits well, lasts long, great price., December 7, 2006

By	Road Runner (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

I've been using these goggles for a while now. I've tried several other goggles and the fit with the silicone is just right, and very comfortable. I thought that the silcone would wear out, but it's lasted me many swimming sessions and is still airtight (although I have to adjust the straps tigther because the silicone straps are loosening with use). Vision is good but I've had a better view with other goggles. It will also fog up slightly with extended use. Anti-fog drops or spit will fix that up. I've used them to swim in lakes (triathlon) for extended periods with no issues. I've also noticed that Speedo's quality in all of products I've tried (silicone swim caps, swim jammers) is above par. I guess that's why they're the industry leaders. It's a great pair of goggles and Amazon's got a great price on them with free shipping to boot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speedo Vanquisher Swim Goggles, November 4, 2006

By	D. Linker - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have trouble with most swim goggles, because they dig into the bridge of my nose. The Vanquisher model has a higher bridge, but still has a wide field of view. They are quite comfortable, and have really made my swim training a pleasure, rather than a torture ending with an "indented" nose.
