Things To Consider When Buying Kids Goggles
When will they be used?
Depending on the activity, there are different lenses, colours and fits. If your child is swimming indoors, then they may not want lenses with a darker shade.
Are they easy to put on and take off?
Choose goggles which are easy for you or your child to put on, without too much hair tugging or fiddly straps. The easier they are to put on and take off, the happier your child will be about wearing them over and over again.
How do they fit around the eyes?
It is important you choose a pair of goggles for your child that are neither too big nor too small. If their eyelashes are touching the inside of your goggles when they blink, it is a sign that they might need a larger pair.
What are the seals made of?
The seals create pressure around the eye sockets and keep water out. Silicone or rubber are popular options for these seals. If your child has an allergy to latex, check that the goggles you are purchasing are latex-free.
FAQ’s Kids Swimming Goggles
Most junior swim goggles are for children aged between 6-14 years old.
Many adult goggles will become suitable in size when a child reaches around 10-12 years old.
Don’t put goggles on children under two years old as they are still unsteady on their feet and could fall and hurt face with them on. Encourage head down and underwater swimming without goggles first.
While they are not a necessity, goggles can make swimming more comfortable for children who don’t enjoy the sensation of water in their eyes.
