Swimming is a great way to stay fit. Resistance from moving through the water shapes muscles almost effortlessly without too much pressure on your joints.

Protect You Lenses While Swimming

Chances are taking your contact lenses off to swim isn’t an option. For those who wear contact lenses, a good pair of goggles is crucial to protecting your contact lenses and your eyes while in the water. Chlorine doesn’t just irritate your eyes, prolonged exposure can cause temporary blindness! In addition, micro-organisms in the water can attach themselves to contact lenses and cause infection. Goggles that fit well prevent these problems.

Finding the Right Goggles

Goggles that fit properly rest comfortably on your bones with no visible gaps between the goggles and your face. While some may believe that a red ring around your eyes is just a sign that they’re sealed well, but it actually means that they do not fit properly.

A final option for contact lens wearers is prescription goggles. Ask your eye doctor about outfitting your favorite pair with prescription lenses.
