The following is an introduction to the use and care of swimming goggles and the appropriate goggles for different people:
Use of swimming goggles
Wearing method: Before wearing swimming goggles, you should clean your hands and make sure your fingers are clean, so as to avoid dirt from dirtying the lenses or affecting the sealing of swimming goggles. Adjust the nose clip of the goggles to a comfortable position so that the lenses fit closely with your eyes, then wrap the headband around the back of your head and adjust the tightness so that the goggles fit tightly around your eyes but do not produce a sense of pressure.
Avoid collision: During swimming, avoid collision between the goggles and the wall of the pool, other swimmers, etc., so as not to damage the lenses or lead to deformation of the goggles, which will affect the effect of the use of the goggles and their life.
Wipe correctly: If the goggles are watered or stained during use, do not wipe hard to avoid scratching the lenses. You should first soak the goggles in water, shake them gently to clean them, and then gently absorb the water with a soft tissue or cloth.
Adapt to light changes: when swimming from indoor to outdoor or from outdoor to indoor, the light will change greatly, you need to let your eyes adapt to a period of time before continuing to swim, to avoid accidents due to the sudden change of light leading to unclear vision.
Maintenance of swimming goggles
Cleaning and drying: After use, the goggles should be rinsed with water in time to remove chlorine, sweat, dirt and other residual substances on the surface, and then gently dry the lenses and the water on the goggle belt with a clean, soft cloth or paper towel to avoid prolonged immersion or exposure to the sun.
Storage environment: Store the goggles in a dry, cool and ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature to avoid deformation, aging of the lenses or failure of the anti-fog coating. It is better to put them in a special goggle case to prevent squeezing, collision and dust pollution.
Replace the anti-fogging agent regularly: the anti-fogging effect of swimming goggles is usually limited and will be weakened gradually, generally the anti-fogging period of new swimming goggles is mostly 3 months (for continuous use). You can buy professional goggle anti-fogging agent and apply it regularly according to the instructions to maintain good anti-fogging performance.
Inspection and Maintenance: Regularly check whether the nose clip, strap and other parts of the goggles are in good condition, if there is any damage or aging phenomenon, you should replace the corresponding accessories in time to ensure the normal use of the goggles and the comfort of wearing them.
Swimming goggles for different people
Beginners: It is recommended to choose full-face oversized frame swimming goggles or half-face large frame swimming goggles. These goggles have a wide field of vision, are comfortable to wear, do not put a lot of pressure on the eyes, and can provide a better wearing experience to help novices better adapt to swimming.
Swimmers with some experience: large frame goggles or coated goggles are a good choice. Large frame goggles have slightly less resistance in the water, slightly stronger adsorption, and are more comfortable to wear; coated goggles have UV protection, anti-glare and other functions, and are suitable for outdoor swimming pools where the sunlight is large, which can improve the visual clarity and comfort when swimming.
Professional swimmers: Racing goggles, i.e. small frame goggles, are the most suitable. Its bionic streamline design, low resistance, strong adsorption, can closely fit the face, reduce the resistance of the water flow, help athletes to improve swimming speed and performance. However, these goggles are relatively tight to wear, and there is a certain sense of pressure on the eyeballs, which is not suitable for long time wearing.
Nearsighted people: you can choose myopic swimming goggles. Generally speaking, the degree of myopic goggles should be 50-100 degrees lower than the actual degree of myopia, if the degree of myopia is high and the difference between the degrees of the left and right eyes is large, you can also choose to customize the myopic goggles with different degrees of myopia in the left and right eyes.
Children: Children's swimming goggles should be chosen. Children's swimming goggles have a simpler structure and are usually brightly colored and cute, which meets the aesthetic and psychological needs of children. Its size is smaller, more close to the children's facial contours, comfortable to wear, can better protect children's eyes. At the same time, children's swimming goggles are relatively inexpensive, even if they are easily damaged, they do not need to spend too much money to replace them.
UV-sensitive people: when swimming outdoors, it is suitable to choose coated swimming goggles with UV protection, which can effectively block UV damage to the eyes and reduce the risk of eye diseases.
Allergic skin people: should choose goggles with silicone straps and gaskets. Silicone material is soft and skin-friendly, non-irritating to the skin, and has strong anti-aging properties, which can reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions and improve the comfort and safety of wearing.
Diving enthusiasts: choose goggles with larger lenses and stronger waterproofing, such as some of the 361° goggle styles, which offer a clearer underwater view and a better wearing experience.
