Head strap for swimming goggles

Abstract

A head strap for swimming goggles includes two ends, a rear portion, and two side portions. Each side portion is located between the rear portion and one of the ends. A slit extends from of one of the side portions through the rear portion to the other side portion. The slit divides each side portion into an upper side section and a lower side section and divides the rear portion into an upper rear section and a lower rear section. A portion of the upper side section and a portion of the lower side section of each side portion clamps one of two sides of a head of a wearer. The upper and lower rear sections of the rear portion of the head strap clamp the back of the head of the wearer. The head strap can be assembled with a body and two buckles to form swimming goggles.
