Swimming is one of the most popular sports in which there are no restrictions on either gender or age. It can be practiced at any time of the year both in natural reservoirs and in the pool. But if you can swim in a natural reservoir without special glasses, then for the pool it is a mandatory attribute that protects the eyes from chlorinated water.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing swimming goggles, you should take into account the size of your head. Now they are produced in three standard sizes - for children, medium-sized and for athletes with a large head. If you visit the pool from time to time, swim in it just for your own pleasure, get the usual amateur swimming goggles that fit your size. As a rule, they do not have a special anti-fog coating "antifog" and soft silicone pads that protect the skin around the eyes from squeezing. But in order to swim with pleasure and comfort for an hour and a half, it is not necessary.
Step 2
Those for whom sports have become regular should choose training glasses. For glasses of this type, an anti-fog coating is mandatory, as well as soft neoprene or silicone pads that protect the skin in those places where the glasses are pressed against it. You can opt for training goggles with large volume polycarbonate lenses that reduce the possibility of fogging.
Step 3
Any swimming goggles must provide an airtight seal. To make them fit correctly, wear them on the area below the eyebrows. The adjustable elastic should go over the back of the head. If you tilt your head, as in swimming, then through the top point. Glasses with adjustable nose bridge will help you to provide more comfort in the water, especially if the distance between your pupils is noticeably different from the standard.
Step 4
For people who have sensitive skin around the eyes, it is better to refuse glasses with a silicone lining - after 1-2 hours of swimming, marks around the eyes may remain that do not go away for a long time. Choose glasses with microporous pads, they will also hold tight if the elastic is tightened a little more. You will not have marks around your eyes, even if you stay in the water for a long time.
Step 5
Swimming goggles designed for the visually impaired are now available. Well-known companies may even offer lenses with different diopters for those who have different diopters for the right and left eyes.
