Do a google search to see which seems more popular. Do an image search, as well. All work, but I believe I listed the most popular first.

In Mexico I've heard "gogles" (gohg-lays). The dictionary says 'gafas submarinas".

Edit: Good work Rusty!

"Gafas de natación" is the one I have used in Spain. :)

"Gafas de buceo" or "gafas de bucear" are "diving goggles" and "gafas de sol" = "sunglasses".

Antiparras de natación.

That!, here we only use antiparras (coloquially we don't need to add "de natación", because we generally use it only for that situation)

antiparras.
(De antipara).
1. f. pl. coloq. anteojos (‖ gafas).
2. f. pl. Arg. Gafas destinadas a proteger los ojos. Antiparras de buceo, de soldador, de minero.

Gracias a todos! I am doing a unit on beach vocabulary with my pre-school Spanish students.
