Swimming goggles are not only intended for competitive swimmers, they are also a valuable accessory that can make every child’s time in the water safer and more comfortable.
Children benefit from swimming goggles because:
- Some children irritate their eyes after half an hour in the pool. Safety glasses will help minimize irritation from pool chemicals.
- Focus on the water.
- The glasses can protect the eye from dirt in the water.
- You can prevent bacteria from entering the eye.
- The glasses can enable a child to see clearly which makes the underwater time more comfortable.
