Many old-time swimmers (i.e., those who swam in the previous century) remember the original Swedish Goggles.

Those goggles were designed and manufactured by Malmsten, a Swedish manufacturer of competitive swimming and aquatic equipment, include supplying racing lane lines since the 1976 Olympic Games.

Malmsten served as the exclusive supplier of aquatic equipment for the 2024 Paris Olympics, marking the 11th time its equipment has been used in the Summer Olympics. For the Olympic 10K marathon swim in the River Seine at Pont Alexandre III, Malmsten supplied the turn buoys, finish chute, and other equipment in the River Seine.
