Are caps and goggles required?
It is necessary to wear a cap or goggles. Wearing a cap is to keep long hair out of their face and also for the swimming teacher to identify his students. Wearing a goggle is to protect their eyes. However goggle may help if children have sensitive or sore eyes. With goggles it is important that children do not become reliant on them. Remember children need to learn to swim without goggles for safety reasons e.g. if they fall in.
