Swimming goggles in swimming lessons

We teach the children to swim without swimming goggles. The children should receive a complete orientation above and below the water. The children learn that you can easily open your eyes under water. The feigned safety of the goggles or mask can quickly turn into insecurity if the child unintentionally falls into the water without goggles. Diving with swimming goggles creates negative pressure in the goggles, which in the worst case can lead to retinal detachment. Children’s eyes are much more sensitive than adult eyes. urther information at swimsports.ch: Schwimmbrillen_im_Unterricht_2021.pdf (swimsports.ch)
