ARE GOGGLES ALLOWED IN LESSONS?

Confused over whether your child can wear goggles in swimming lessons? Then let us clear it up for you.

Swimming is a vital skill for children to learn for health and enjoyment reasons, and also because it could one day save their life.  Children need to learn to swim without goggles unless they have a medical condition or other associated problem/s.

While swimming, goggles may make a child feel comfortable, however if they accidentally end up in water, it is unlikely they will be wearing them, and this can cause them to panic. It is vital therefore that children are comfortable swimming with and without goggles.

    Wow thank you so much for sharing this as I always encouraged my son to use his goggles but it makes a lot of sense to teach them without first just in case they are in a situation where they don't have access to their googles.
