Goggles, or safety glasses, are forms of protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect the area surrounding the eye in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes while swimming.
All public swimming pools contain specific levels of chlorine to kill any harmful bacteria. When exposed to the eyes, this can cause irritation for some children. Goggles will help to avoid sore, itchy and red eyes as well as any discomfort during each swimming session.
