Summer is synonymous with swimming, and for parents, that means gearing up your little ones with the right swim gear, especially goggles. If you’ve ever struggled with broken straps, pulled hair, or constantly adjusting goggles, you’re not alone. Meet Ashley Caron and her mother, Karen Walker, the dynamic duo behind Splash Place Swim Goggles, a family business based in sunny Arizona, USA.
Founded in 2017 out of sheer frustration and a mother’s ingenuity, Splash Place Swim Goggles are designed to revolutionize the swimming experience for children and adults alike. What started as a simple solution to a common problem has now become a patent pending innovation.
The Origin of Splash Place
The journey began when Ashley Caron, a busy mom of two, found herself facing the perennial headache of dealing with her kids’ uncomfortable and unreliable swimming goggles. Determined to find a solution, she crafted the first pair of Splash Swim Goggles with cloth bands, ensuring they were gentle on the wearer’s hair. These goggles boast high visibility anti-fog lenses, shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses, and are hypoallergenic, latex, and PVC-free—making them every mom’s dream come true.
But what truly sets Splash Swim Goggles apart is their thoughtful design. The wider strap, akin to swimsuit fabric, ensures a snug yet comfortable fit, while the adjustable feature caters to both children (recommended age three and above) and adults. No more wrestling with stubborn straps or worrying about hair-pulling mishaps—Splash Swim Goggles offer a hassle-free swimming experience for the whole family.
Family Run
As a family-run business, Ashley and Karen are deeply grateful for the support they’ve received from their local community, customers, and retailers. They take pride in assembling their goggles locally, working closely with dedicated women who share their passion for quality and innovation.
With summer fast approaching and swimming lessons beckoning, it’s time to rethink swim gear shopping. Say goodbye to the frustration of ill-fitting goggles and hello to a summer game-changer. Whether your little one is a seasoned swimmer or just dipping their toes into the water, Splash Place Swim Goggles promise a comfortable, hair-friendly, and stylish solution for all your aquatic adventures.
The goggles are available for $19.95 on their website, hundreds of retailers nationwide, and Amazon. Splash Place Swim Goggles are set to make waves in the world of swim gear. Join the movement and experience swimming goggles reimagined—for happier, hair-pulling-free summers ahead.
My Take on Splash Place
We are a swimming family. My wife was a Canadian Olympic Qualifier, Division 1 Swimmer and she coached the sport for 23 years. All our kids swam on town and club swim teams and our son swam in college. I KNOW what a pain ill fitting goggles can be! We still use and purchase goggles for swimming in our pool and you can bet we’ll have some of these goggles on hand for this summer.
Do Sharks Wear Goggles?
Back in season 13, both Mark and Robert invested in The Magic 5, a business that makes custom fit swim goggles for elite swimmers. This conflicts with that, so I think they’ll be out. If sales and margins are decent, I could see Mr. Wonderful making a royalty offer. Lori will like the fact that they have a patent pending so she could make an offer too. With 4 kids, Emma has likely encountered the goggles dilemna, so she could be in the running too.
