Why do we encourage swimmers to learn without goggles? ππ
At Shapland Swim Schools, we believe confident swimmers should feel comfortable in the water with or without goggles. Learning to open eyes underwater helps children build important water confidence, improve safety skills, and stay calm if goggles ever fall off unexpectedly.
Swimming without goggles during parts of lessons also helps swimmers develop better awareness of the water and stronger overall technique. π
Of course, goggles still have their place for some activities and advanced training β but building confidence first is key!
