FAQs
Are these goggles suitable for competitive swimming?
While designed for comfort and general use, the junior sizing and features like UV protection and anti-fog make them suitable for training and recreational swimming for younger athletes.
How do I clean the biopolymer lenses?
Rinse the lenses with fresh, cold water. If necessary, use a mild, non-abrasive soap and rinse thoroughly. Do not use harsh chemicals or scrub the lenses.
Can I wear contact lenses under these goggles?
Yes, many swimmers wear contact lenses under swim goggles. The seal should prevent water from entering and affecting your contacts.
What does 'tinted lens' mean for visibility?
A tinted lens reduces the intensity of light passing through, which is beneficial in bright conditions like outdoor swimming pools. However, they may appear darker in dimly lit indoor pools.
What is the benefit of a split head strap?
A split head strap helps to distribute pressure more evenly around the head, providing a more secure and comfortable fit compared to a single strap.
Do these goggles meet any safety standards?
Yes, these goggles comply with the British Standard BS 5883:1996, indicating they meet specific safety and performance requirements for swim goggles.
Troubleshooting
Goggles leak around the eyes
Ensure the split head strap is adjusted correctly for a snug fit. Make sure the soft TPR seal is positioned evenly around the eye sockets and that hair is not trapped between the seal and the skin.
Lenses fog up quickly
Rinse the inside of the lenses with clean water before use. Avoid touching the inside of the lenses, as this can damage the anti-fog coating. If fogging persists, consider an anti-fog solution specifically designed for swim goggles.
Strap adjustment is difficult
Gently pull the ends of the split head strap through the adjustment buckles. Ensure the strap is not twisted. If the buckles feel stiff, try flexing them slightly.
