Question

What should you do when your goggles gets foggy a lot?

Community Answer

This is caused by the moisture inside the goggles and your body heat. To fix, take off your goggles and wipe the fog periodically. Also, some brands have a coating that helps reduce this effect, so look for those when purchasing new goggles.

Question

How old does a child have to be in order to swim in the deep side of the pool?

Tide iz Bored

Community Answer

The age doesn't really matter but the child needs to know how to tread water before going into deep water. When they first go into deep water, you can give him/her a pool noodle or kickboard.

Question

Is it normal to feel that the water is too cold?

Ruby

Top Answerer

Yes, especially when you first get in the pool. After a while, you will get used to it. The more you move around, the less cold it will feel.

Question

How do I pull my face out of the water, take a breath, then go back to swimming without having to stop?

Community Answer

Simply by raising your mouth above water level long enough to take a breath, then returning your face to the water and exhaling through your nose. Depending on the type of stroke you're doing, you would raise your face straight ahead or to either side. Do this with each stroke or with alternate strokes, depending on your oxygen needs.
