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.

Customer Review: Best Goggles Around!
After trying waaaay too many goggles and spending waaaay too much money for goggles that leaked, didn't fit right, made it hard to open your eyes due to sizing problems, etc....we found the Junior Hydrospex ones. They are the perfect size for kids AND adults. We all wear this same style in our family, and we love them.
Customer Review: Jr. version for adult head
I was at my wit's end trying to find something that fit my long head. It turns out that these were the perfect fit, and the adult version s I was trying to work with were no longer right for me. I only decieded to try and use this pair once the local speedo rep mentioned this as an option. I bought ten pair. Adults: consider the Jr's if your head is not fitting the adult version properly. Also, keep those fingers off the inside of the lenses to keep the antifog protection going.
