We purchased some goggles from La Sirena Mega Centro on Lincoln about 3 weeks ago. I think they were about RD$235.

You can also get Speedo from Plaza Central, where Churchill Ave meets 27 de Febrero Ave.

scramjet411, I know you specify the city of Santo Domingo, but I guess they have Supermercado Nacional as well...

Thanks Sanation, my question exactly. Where in the Plaza Central? I tried a couple of sports stores there this weekend.
And I've tried the Intex ones, good tip, but unfortunately they don't fit very well, nor even the Arena ones. (Guess I've got a big head!) Just need a good ole pair of speedos.

If you don't have any luck at the previously suggested spots, I would recommend Molina Deportivo. They have a pretty good selection of goggles with branches on El Conde corner Duarte in the Colonial Zone, Ave. Mella almost corner Duarte accross from La Sirena and on Ave. Tiradentes (not sure the cross street).
