How to choose swimming goggles and what to do if they always fog up

Swimming goggles are a must-have for swimming. They not only effectively protect your eyes when swimming, but also allow you to see more clearly underwater and avoid unnecessary injuries. So how should you choose swimming goggles and what are the tips?

There are two types of swimming goggles. One is professional goggles, which are uncomfortable to wear (press the eye sockets) and are designed to have low resistance. The other type is the swimming goggles used by general enthusiasts, which come in many brands and at varying prices.

As an ordinary enthusiast, you should pay attention to three aspects when choosing swimming goggles:

1. The most basic thing is no water leakage (this is generally no problem)

2. Wearing comfort. This must be carefully selected. Wear it for 5 minutes to feel it if necessary. Because everyone's face shape is different, you may feel that your eye sockets are pressed down or your eyes bulge outward. Change the nose bridge if necessary (usually in addition to the one on the glasses, there should be two spare ones, one slightly larger and one slightly smaller). This may happen when the brand is ideal but not suitable.

3. Anti-fog is also very important, but generally speaking, anti-fog cannot last forever, and its function will decline after a period of time.

In addition, regarding the price issue, swimming goggles are not durable consumer goods. If you swim all year round, you usually need to replace them every 1 to 2 years (usually because of leaks, non-fog-proofness, aging of the strap, etc.). Therefore, you don't want to get something too expensive; 20 to 50 yuan is good enough.

Another point that should be noted is that if you are swimming outdoors, you can choose UV-proof, light-reducing (or reflective) swimming goggles, which look better. However, if it is an indoor swimming pool, the lighting is not ideal in many cases, so it is better to choose completely transparent goggles.

Tips to solve the problem of fogging up swimming goggles

1. Rinse new swimming goggles with water. After a while, they will start to fog up. Lick them gently with the tip of your tongue. Never rub the lenses with your hands.

2. About three months later, use Liby dishwashing liquid (economical and does not irritate the eyes), drop a drop, shake well with water, then rinse with clean water, and it can be used for two hours. Rinse with clean water. Remember: Never wipe the lens with your hands, as shampoo will irritate your eyes.

3. Anti-fog is economical but not economical.
