I’ve been a fan and devoted user of FORM smart swim goggles since 2021. All their technology not only has made me a faster swimmer, but I also enjoy swimming more. And I’m constantly amazing at how often FORM rolls out new upgrades that just make them even more valuable.
But what if one pair could outlast all the rest — and become the best training tool you’ve ever owned? But, like every pair of swim goggles, FORM had an Achilles heel, namely, they scratch easy. For $30 swim goggles, that’s a nuisance. But for a $280 swim goggles, that’s a bitter pill to swallow.
FORM just announced a game changer in swim goggles. Meet the FORM Swim 2 Pro, the world’s most advanced smart goggle — and arguably the last pair of goggles you’ll need for a very long time. I just bought a pair and my experience confirms what top reviewers, like DC Rainmaker, have been saying. Before I get into what makes the Pro so revolutionary, let me share with you what has made FORM goggles so revolutionary to start with.
Real-Time Data in Your Line of Sight
No more glancing at your watch or stopping between intervals. FORM’s in-goggle display shows your pace, splits, stroke rate, and more in real time, floating clearly in your peripheral vision. Every lap becomes a live feedback session.
The result? Immediate awareness and precision pacing. You can adjust tempo mid-set, fine-tune your technique, and stay mentally engaged throughout the swim.
Uploadable Workouts & Technique Coaching
All FORM goggles integrates directly with the FORM app and platforms like TrainingPeaks, letting you upload structured workouts to guide you through sets and intervals.
And thanks to built-in sensors, FORM’s HeadCoach feature provides personalized cues on head position and stroke efficiency. It’s like having a coach in your goggles — every time you swim.
What Makes the “Pro” Different
While both the Swim 2 and the Pro share FORM’s smart-training DNA, the Pro introduces two key upgrades that make it truly elite. And solves the biggest functional problems that all swim have had to deal with:
1. Virtually Unscratchable Gorilla Glass
Most goggles are made of plastic that starts showing micro-scratches within weeks — especially when tossed in a swim bag, brushed against the pool deck, or even just cleaning them with your finger or a tissue.
The FORM 2 Pro uses Corning Gorilla Glass 3, the same material used in high-end smartphones. It’s nearly impossible to scratch, meaning your goggles stay crystal-clear season after season. You wouldn’t believe the tests that have been done on them, using sandpaper and the sides of pools, and they emerge unscathed.
2. Fog-Free Clarity
Every swimmer knows the frustration of mid-set fogging. The Pro’s lens design and proprietary anti-fog spray system eliminate that problem. Reviewers have reported zero fogging during long sessions, even in warm pools or open-water conditions.
Together, these upgrades make the FORM 2 Pro the first goggle built for endurance — not disposability.
How Many Goggles Do You Replace Each Year?
I know what you’re thinking: $329 is A LOT for a pair of swim goggles. But let’s do the math and you’ll see that, if you’re a committed swimmer, they are actually a really good deal.
Let’s be honest:
-
- Most serious swimmers replace their goggles 4–8 times a year due to scratches or fogging.
-
- At $30–$40 per pair, that’s $120–$300 annually — and years of frustration.
Now consider the FORM 2 Pro:
-
- Price: about $329
-
- Lifespan: potentially 3–5 years or more
-
- Value: built-in smart tech, data tracking, and technique feedback — plus unmatched durability
For athletes who swim several times a week, the cost per swim becomes incredibly reasonable — and the performance gain, enormous.
More Than Goggles — A Training System
Beyond the hardware, FORM gives you a platform for continuous improvement. Each swim is recorded, analyzed, and converted into actionable insights. You can build a digital training history with real-time technique feedback — something even the best swim watches can’t replicate.
If you’re a triathlete, masters swimmer, or competitive age-grouper chasing marginal gains, this is the edge you’ve been waiting for.
The Bottom Line
The FORM Swim 2 Pro isn’t just a smarter goggle — if you run the #s and look long term, it’s actually a smarter investment. Scratch-proof, fog-free, and equipped with the most advanced swim analytics available, it solves the problems that plague every dedicated swimmer.
You could keep cycling through cheap goggles, or you could invest once and never look back — literally.
