I need to find goggles that fit properly and is there such a thing as a swimming store that will fit you to the right goggles, like Peak Performance does for shoes?????

Where in Omaha, and what are they called?


Thanks!!!!

swimwear unlimited is probably your best bet. they are a bit more expensive as they are a specialty store, selection is decent. located on 120th and J. the shop faces south on the side of a long strip mall.

I need to find some good goggles and somebody told me there was a scuba store also in Omaha that does the swimming thing also, but nobody knew the name or the location.

I may try them on Saturday, if I can get to Omaha, because I need to get to Peak Performance to get some new shoes also.


Thanks Adam

I don't know the name but there used to be a scuba store at 84th and Center. In the shopping center on the southwest corner.
There is no fitting for them, but I got my speedo vanquishers at Dick's Sporting Goods. Very happy with them as I was having problems with other goggles.
Scheels is another place you may try.

Maybe you just need to quit squinting while you swim and compromising the seal of your goggles! In all seriousness though that has happened to me a few times, I wrinkle up my face because the water is going to be cold and it screws with my fit.

I've seen that swim place on 120th street. I thought it faced west, located on the east side of 120th? Either way it's pretty easy to find.

This may be DiVentures - right across the street from Swimwear Unlimited - you can't miss it!  I've never been in there, so I can't speak to what they do / don't have . . .

Swimwear Unlimited is ok. I was unhappy with the two pairs of TYR goggles I got from them. Finally ordered some Aqua Sphere Kayan's online, and will never look back!!!

On the other hand, I got a pair of Speedo Zoomers from them on sale for under $30, and they rock! Been using them since late last year, and they are holding up better than I ever would've expected. I hear 100% Polyester is the only way to go, and I didn't know that at the time I bought them. Lucked out

DiVentures may have stuff...I have not been there. Looks like a cool place. It's on I St, just up the hill from 120th. (So basically it's directly behind the Sports Authority on 120th & L)
