Why you should always wear goggles when swimming
:
- Glasses help you see underwater: It may sound obvious and silly, but it really is. This is especially important for beginners: to see where you are sailing. And secondly, it will avoid other swimmers.
- They protect the eyes. Probably, it happened to you that after the pool there was irritation and tingling in the eyes. Many people think that everything happens due to chlorine getting into the eyes and, as a result, it irritates them. This is partly true. In fact, the situation is even more disgusting.
When chlorine and things like sweat, urine, and other things that a person makes are combined together, it produces something called chloramine. This is the reason that redness appears in the eyes. And in order to protect your eyes from anything harmful that is contained in the water, be sure to use this advice.
How to choose glasses
Now that you are armed with information on why you need swimming goggles (forget it), here are some key points to look out for:
Anti-fog won't last long
It doesn't matter what is written on the packaging, or what the assistant in the store is trying to prove to you, glasses with the anti-fog effect are short-lived in terms of fulfilling their own. Two weeks of swimming is the maximum work for this type of glasses. Moreover, even if you do not wipe the droplets of sweat or water from the inside of the glasses. While this may not captivate you, not all glasses actually have this effect. What's really important is the color of the lenses (which we'll discuss now).
Lens color is very important
Tinted and mirrored lenses look cool. It goes without saying. But with blackout comes the next major problem - your eyesight is compromised by swimming in old, indoor pools. And especially when the anti-fog effect starts to wear out. In this situation, you have to constantly stop to wipe the underwater digital watch and glasses from the inside after each swim. You also need to be careful not to bump into a wall or other people. Do you want to face this?
Conclusion:
- Tinted / Mirrored Lenses: For outdoor pools, well-lit indoor pools.
- Clear to slightly tinted lenses: Indoor swimming pools.
Get the right shape
The water in the glasses is no joke. One of the main reasons why you wear glasses is to prevent water from entering your eyes and not obstruct your vision. If the glasses do not fit properly, either because the strap is too loose, or the nosepiece (obturator) is either tight or too loose. Or the lenses don't stick to the face. All this will lead to the fact that the water gets inside. You don’t want to stop constantly while swimming to correct them, do you?
:
Buy glasses with a detachable nosepiece
There are no identical faces. Glasses with a detachable attachment allow you not only to adjust them to the shape of your face, but also simply, at no special cost, buy a new one when it breaks, instead of buying a whole set.
Check the padding around the lenses
The next step is to check how you feel with the glasses. Will this upholstery last a long time. Firm The speedo vanquisher striking in its balance between form and function. Glasses from this company can be used by both beginners and advanced swimmers. More experienced people lean more towards the shape of glasses from "Swedes”Where there is no upholstery on the lenses. Beginners should beware of this option - this form of glasses will lead to the fact that, with a long time of use, irritability appears on the cheeks and eyes.
