A swimming goggles fastener system includes a pair of swimming goggles having a slot at each end. Each slot is adapted to receive an inelastic retainer strap provided with adjacent Velcro hook and Velcro loop elements at opposing ends. One end of the inelastic strap is inserted into a slot of the swimming goggles and is folded, thereby engaging the Velcro hook and loop elements to attach the strap to the swimming goggles. The other end of the inelastic strap encircles the head of the swimmer. Thereafter, the other end is inserted into the other slot of the swimming goggle and folded to engage the Velcro hook and loop portions, securing the swimming goggles to the swimmer's head. Pressure applied to the swimmer's head by the swim goggles is adjusted by the Velcro hook and loop elements. Eyecup water proofing pads and optional rubberized compression cushion pads are attached to the inelastic strap to limit the pressure applied to a comfortable level. Advantageously, the swimming goggles resist displacement even under vigorous swimming activity such as competitive swimming, while reducing water drag on the swimmer, which would result from excessively protruding goggles.
