About Us
Born in Australia, it’s in our nature to swim. We love the freedom and exhilaration of the water and want to share our passion for swimming around the world!


We believe that experiencing the sheer enjoyment of swimming is one of life’s greatest pleasures, whether you’re a water junkie or just starting out, swimming in your local pool or plunging into the open water – we want you to enjoy and have fun!

Here at Zoggs we believe we offer a ‘one stop swim shop’ for recreational and fitness swimmers, quite a feat considering that back in 1992 we launched with only 12 pairs of goggles!  Eighteen years on we are proud to offer an innovative and quality range of swimming goggles, training aids, kit, swimwear, water confidence and sun protection products.

 

 

We are committed to get kids learning to swim and it’s our mission to encourage as many children to swim as possible around the world. We work hard to provide swimming products that not only meet the highest safety and quality standards but that also appeal to and inspire the kids. That is why our design team develops water confidence products and games that look great and educate but also help encourage children to really love the water.

Since our launch we have been very fortunate to get the support of the swimming community so we want to put something back into swimming which is why we created Swim4Fitness®. It’s our free online swimming community developed to encourage people to jump in and give it a go. As well as providing some gentle motivation, it offers advice and helps you get more from your swimming – whether you’re a weekend warrior preparing for your next open water event, or you’re on a new fitness regime or you just want to relax and have fun in the water.  Best of all it’s free!
