How does Arena Swipe technology work?
Arena Swipe is an anti-fog technology that can be reactivated when the inside of your swimming goggles starts to fog up. This is the key difference from an anti-fog coating that you use until its effectiveness gradually decreases.
It is easy to use. Wet the inside of the lens and gently wipe it with a finger. Then rinse the goggles. This reactivates Swipe anti-fog.
Arena states that, in its own tests, Swipe lasts up to ten times longer than the previous anti-fog technology used on Cobra goggles. This is particularly relevant if you swim regularly and want the anti-fog effect to last longer.
You do not need to reactivate Swipe before every training session. Do so when you notice the lens starting to fog up again while swimming.
TIP: Treat the inside of the lens with care. Swipe is designed to be activated with a deliberate wipe; there is no need to rub the inside of your swimming goggles unnecessarily.
What are the practical benefits of Swipe anti-fog?
Fogged-up lenses are particularly inconvenient because they limit your vision while swimming. With Arena Swipe swimming goggles, you can reactivate the anti-fog effect without immediately using a separate anti-fog product.
This makes Swipe especially practical if you train or compete regularly and want to keep using the same goggles for longer.
Which Arena swimming goggles feature Swipe?
Swipe is not a separate model, but a technology that Arena uses in various swimming goggles.
In the competition-focused Cobra series, Swipe is available on models such as the Arena Cobra Edge, Cobra Ultra and Cobra Core. Each model has its own fit and competition-focused features; Swipe is the anti-fog technology they may have in common.
Swipe is also used outside the Cobra series. For example, Arena uses the technology in Air-Bold Swipe, a model in the Air family.
So do not choose based on the word Swipe alone. Start with the type of swimming goggles you need: competition, training or comfort. Then you can see which Swipe anti-fog version is available within that category.
How does it differ from standard anti-fog?
With a traditional anti-fog treatment, its effectiveness decreases over time. What sets Arena Swipe anti-fog apart is that the technology can be reactivated by wiping the wet inside of the lens.
Arena describes Swipe as anti-fog protection that lasts up to ten times longer than the previous anti-fog technology in the Cobra series. This comparison is based on Arena's own tests, so it should be understood in that specific context.
For you as a swimmer, the practical effect is what matters most: if the lens starts to fog up again, you do not need to assume straight away that the anti-fog coating has worn off. First, reactivate Swipe as instructed by Arena.
