🥽Have you ever noticed that our swimmers never wear goggles? That is because we have a no goggles rule at Shining Stars! But why?🤔
🛟Here are some reasons why practicing swimming without goggles matters👇️
🌟It takes away panic in emergencies!
If your little one is not comfortable with water on their face when without goggles, then an accidental fall into the water would be EXTRA jarring. The rush of water over their face can cause shock and disorientation if they’re not used to it
🌟It improves Breath Control !
Without goggles, kiddos naturally learn to manage their breathing, close their eyes on instinct, and prevent water from entering their nose and mouth by holding their breath and blowing bubbles
🌟It helps with awareness!
Feeling water on their face helps little ones to understand where they are in the water, making it easier to float, navigate, and find their way to the surface naturally
🛟 Goggles are very useful, and they definitely have their place, but practicing without them builds confidence and water safety skills for real emergencies!
