Cool Kids AntiFog Swimming Goggles

It’s the height of summer and that means kids are spending a lot more time in the

water. As their schedules get stacked with beach days, lake trips,

swimming lessons, and pool parties, their eyes are going to need some protection.

A comfortable, quality pair of swim goggles will be one of the most important summer accessories you can buy, and they are more than just an accessory to appease a sensitive child. Not only do goggles help with underwater vision, making for a less anxious experience for new or burgeoning swimmers, they can protect against irritants.

Chlorine is a powerful and necessary disinfectant, but according to the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that eye-sting you feel after a day of swimming is not actually the eye’s reaction to the chemical itself. That sting is a reaction to the chlorine binding to the sweat, sunblock, urine, and other bodily wastes of swimmers. That binding is also what causes the chlorine smell at pools. When you think about that, a good set of goggles starts to feel like less of a luxury and more of a necessity.
