  • What Kind of Swim Goggles Should I Buy??

    No, this isn’t Jeopardy. This is for real.

    Do you know the shape of your face? Is it a small face, is it medium or would you say you have a large face? Do you have long eyelashes? Long eyelashes can hit the lenses of your goggles. This can be very annoying when you are swimming. If you have small or recessed eyes, you may need to wear small lensed goggles, even though they have a smaller field of vision. If you want a wider field of vision, check out the Aqua Sphere Company. These are all things you need to consider when you are paying good money for swim goggles. (FYI: Even though I am an adult woman, I wear “youth” goggles.) The googles need to fit the face. Just sayin!

    PopSci found the lost and forgotten first underwater film. It’s a story too strange and horrifying to be fiction (and, yes, it involves a shark and a horse). Also, it’s the first footage of a shark ever recorded.
