Goggles

 

Goggles are a very important part in swimming. They help you see under water. If you didn’t wear goggles, then the chlorine would irritate your eyes. There are many different kinds of goggles. I have a pair that looks like there is a mirror on the outside of them. So when I do the backstroke outside, the sun wont get in your eyes.
