THEMAGIC5 Goggles

Meet THEMAGIC5

THEMAGIC5 make the only custom-fit swimming goggles in the world. Each pair of goggles is designed to be completely unique and bespoke to every individual. We design to ensure that people can experience swimming the way it should be; free from distractions.

They offer a 5% edge of improvement to swimmers. A small, but impactful improvement. They know that it is the small things, the 5%, that makes the world of difference. A good or bad experience, winning or losing; whatever edge you want, it’s here that THEMAGIC5 can help.
with the mission to design swimming goggles that eliminate the distractions that prevent anyone from being at one with the water.

What do they offer?

Every pair of fully customised goggles is individually customized to each swimmer. They are able to do this by taking a 3D scan of your face using the front-facing camera on your mobile phone. The scan will collect data points of your eye sockets and the width between your eyes to give you the most comfortable fit possible. The two customized pieces of our goggles are the gasket and the size of the nose piece.

Magic5 have core six goggles that will always be available. They also release limited edition goggles from time to time that will only be available once:

CLEAR MAGIC – This is a completely clear lens.
BLUE MAGIC – This is a clear lens with a blue tint.
SMOKE MAGIC – This is a clear lens with a black tint. Even though this goggle is technically clear, it is very dark and is better for outdoor swimming.
BLUE MAGIC MIRROR GOLD – This is a gold mirrored goggle with a blue tint to the lens. This is our most popular and the most all-around goggle. It is good for both indoor and outdoor swimming.
BLUE MAGIC MIRROR SILVER – This is a sliver mirrored goggle with a blue tint to the lens. This goggle is very comparable to the BLUE MAGIC MIRROR GOLD but is a touch darker with the silver mirror. This goggle can be used both indoors and outdoors but is more suited for outdoor swimming.
BLACK MAGIC MIRROR SILVER – This is a silver mirrored goggle with a black tint to the lens. This is our darkest goggle option. It is best suited for outdoor swimming and is comparable to swimming in sunglasses.

Why we like working with The Magic 5

We recognise that performance is equal to potential mins distractions. Therefore, any device which removes distraction and allows an athlete to focus on performance is a perfect match for high-performing individuals. THEMAGIC5 are able to provide athletes with one of the most important personalised parts of their swimming kit. One of the big impacts of swimming in the open water is if you swim more than the distance you need to. Therefore, goggles really are the critical piece of kit! Our athletes can make sure they take the straightest route, and put their training into maximum effect.
