Mac C asked:

when i go to swim at the pool i like to wear goggles because i love to go under water but i have been emberessed wearing the exact same goggles as some 12 year old kid so im wondering if their are some sort of eye contact lenses that work like goggles but no one can see them or just a small pair of goggles

goggles for kids? (ages almost 3 and almost 4)?

Question from Tim &

I can’t seem to find information on the best swim masks or goggles for kids, reviews, point/counter points, size information, what is better goggles or masks, etc. It’s just for casual use in the pool this summer, nothing else.

Answer by Feeling Uninformed
Kids are only going to wear the goggles if they really work, so I’d hesitate to buy any less than good quality goggle, especially if you’re talking about them being outdoors as you’ll be counting on them for UV protection for their eyes.
Myself, I love TYR goggles, but that’s because that’s what fits me best and seems to last me longest.
The key is fit. Don’t order a product online or buy a product unless your child is with you. Then, pull the goggles out of the package and, WITHOUT putting the straps on, GENTLY push the goggles into place on the child’s face; they should hold, at least momentarily, by gentle suction alone.
The suction is what actually keeps them COMFORTABLY in place. If you count on the straps keeping them in place, they’ll leak and the pressure from the straps will be uncomfortable for the kids. And you know what that will mean: they’ll take ‘em off and leave ‘em either poolside or beach side, where they’ll be lost or scratched, leaving them without eye protection and you out the $ having to buy them all over again before their next outing.
Once you KNOW what product works for them, you can buy them consistently online or without the child along to save yourself some $.
Hope you and your kids have an awesome swim season.

Question:
What’s the best type for a kid who has begun swimming and diving?

I love the Women’s Vanquisher Goggles from Speedo. I’ve worn them since I was 8 and they are amazing. Guys on my team wear them too, so I don’t really know why they are “Women’s” goggles… Other good, cheap goggles are the Swedish Goggles. I personally find them uncomfortable but a lot of people like them.

charged with embezzlement. Can I demand that she be banned from my kids?

Question from butterfly_net

I don’t necessarily want to keep the kids from their father, but he is insistent that they get to know the fiancee. I don’t want them to suffer emotionally whenever this woman goes to trial and probably jail. The boys are 8 and 10 and are both very impressionable. They don’t know she has been charged with anything. I am embarrassed that my ex has chosen this woman. (Could he not wait until she is cleared of charges before marrying her?!) She is also trying to buy them unnecessary things (swimming goggles, etc.) that I have returned. (I am able to buy them anything/everything that they could ever want.) She had a complete hysterectomy in her early 20s. I think she is hoping to become a second mother to my boys. I am contacting a lawyer, but I’d like to know if anyone else has had this dilemma before. My boys deserve better. Please tell me I can keep her out of their lives!

Best Answer
As their mother you have a right to make a formal request with the court if you feel that this woman is a potential threat to your children’s well being. I would also question the judgment of their father as well. He may be blinded by his love for her and not considering the situation he is putting your children in. I had to do the same thing with my ex. Your children come first always. I know it may be hard for you because he maybe a great father but he is not seeing clearly when it comes to her. I hope that she is not going to jail but if she does then where will it stop? Will he want your kids to visit her behind bars?

I would talk to the father and lay out exactly what you do not want to happen with your children concerning this woman. If he isn’t flexible then contact an attorney.

Good Luck!!!!

Question:
I wrote this for an ocean-themed Christmas residence hall decorating contest. What do you think?

‘Twas the night before Fishmas and all through the sea,
All the fishies had decorated the seaweed trees.
The flippers were hung on the coral with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The oysters were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sand dollars danced in their heads.
And Ma in her goggles and I in my trunks
Had settled the kids in their pink coral bunks,
When up on the beach there arose such a clatter
I sprang through the surf to see what was the matter.
Away to the surface I swam in a flash,
Flew up through the waves with a humongous splash.
The moon on the breast of the seafoam above
Shone a luster of Christmastime peace, hope and love,
When what to my eyes should appear, of course,
But a shiny new surfboard and eight tiny seahorse,
With a little old surfer so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than stingrays those seahorses came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
“Now Splasher! Now Seafoam! Now Bubbles and Lowtide!
On Starfish! On Angelfish! On Sandy and Poseidon!
To the top of the beach, to the seafloor below.
Now swim away, swim away, swim away, GO!
As driftwood that on a wild tidal wave floats
And go under the surface when they meet with a boat,
So down to the seafloor the seahorses went
With surfboard and Santa and loads of presents.
Then in a twinkling I heard on the shells
The jingling and tinkling of each tiny bell.
As I drew in my head and was swimming back down,
Off the surfboard St. Nick dove in one bound.
He was dressed in bright jams that went down to his knees,
And they just matched the colors on the bright seawwed trees.
A bundle of gifts he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a beachcomber opening his pack.
His eyes how they twinkled!
His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like coral,
His nose like a cherry!
The end of a snorkel he held tight in his teeth.
Floating seaweed encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a round little belly
That shook when he laughed like a whole school of jellyfish.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
But I laughed at his jams (I couldn’t help myself).
The wink of his eye and the bubbles round his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work;
He filled all the flippers then turned with a jerk.
Then setting his goggles back on his red nose,
In a single bound back to his surfboard he goes.
He picked up the reins, to his team gave a yell,
And away they all swam through seaweed and seashells.
But I heard a last gurgle as he floated from sight,
“Merry Fishmas to all, and to all a good night!”

That was funny and great. I loved it. You did a really good job with this. I laughed a few times while reading.

Thanks for sharing it.

a recreational swimming pool to tan in a bikini?

Question from Moochai

Basically my nearby swimming complex consists of:
1 Competition Pool, 1 Teaching pool, 1 Learner Pool, 1 Wading pool

It’s basically for people who are serious swimmers to train, or families spending time with kids or children learning at lessons.

I’ll be there for totally… ‘superficial’ reasons. Everyone would be in goggles and swimsuits, while I’d be in a bikini looking like I belong on a beach instead. I know it’s not against the rules but definitely I’d look out of place there. I’m just wondering is the idea of a girl going to tan in a bikini at a recreational pool complex sort of silly?

Question:
It was a commercial a few years ago, advertising a swimming outfit for kids. It came with a sort of goggle + fin combo, with flippers or whatever, and it was shark based. Anyone remember the name?

Question:
I always wear goggles when I swim. Not many people do except kids and I feel like a dork wearing goggles. So is it weird to wear goggles to swim? Rather than putting my head under water and seeing without them?

Response from Kat
Wearing goggles is not dorky. Chlorine in the amounts found in swimming pools can be very irritating to the eyes. Usually you can see more clearly with the goggles.
Stop worrying about being dorky.

chris s asked:

this may be a regular problem~~

but since I have been a kid I see cross eyed underwater with goggles on.

Is it the shape of the goggle?
I’ve never bought an expensive pair because of this

anybody have the same problem?
eye doctors? any answers?

Response by delilah123
So you can’t see underwater? If you can then it’s obviously not a problem. If you can’t I’d strongly suggest seeing an Optometrist (eye doctor). Because on the web even a genius of an Optometrist wouldn’t know because they haven’t seen your eyes. But I do have to admit that this is a bit unusual. Try and use a different pair of goggles, if it’s the same and you can’t see properly underwater, see an optometrist.

All the very best! Hope you’re OK.

Ha ha, and my name’s also Chris.
