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 The best yet., February 25, 2007

By	C. A. Lewis (Chandler, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My son is a competitive swimmer in high school and the Speedo Vanquisher Plus goggles have always been his favorite. He has tried other ones that people have recommended but these seem to work the best. He is a butterfly swimmer so there is a lot of in and out of the water action and these Speedos don't slip at all. He also has a largish head and these fit comfortably around it and the goggles don't dig uncomfortably into his eye sockets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Goggles Available, June 22, 2006

By	Adam M. King (Decatur, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I was a lifeguard, someone left a pair of these at the pool. I tried them out and they are without a doubt the best pair I've ever used. I liked them so much that I now have 2 pairs. They don't fog up, leak ANY water, or feel uncomfortable. I simply love the way they feel. If you are looking to swim laps, or just enjoy swimming without getting water in your eyes, I won't hesitate to tell you that these are a MUST HAVE.

4.0 out of 5 stars best goggles I've had, November 27, 2005

By	Zach (Michigan, US) - See all my reviews

I swim a lot, and these are the best, longest-lasting goggles I've had. I've been using the vanquisher goggles for over a year now. I've had my current pair for almost three months, and they are still pretty fog-free. My only complaint is that the clip on the straps can break easily when adjusting them. I like them a lot better than the hydrospex. The vanquisher plus goggles are especially helpful in blocking the sun when swimming backstroke outside.
