Aquasphere goggles have landed at GUST today. Great idea for a Christmas or birthday present along with many benefits with this brand

Wearing goggles during swimming lessons offers several advantages for kids:

1. **Improved Visibility**: Goggles help kids see clearly underwater, which can enhance their confidence and ability to learn new skills.

2. **Eye Protection**: They protect the eyes from chlorine and other chemicals in the water, reducing irritation and discomfort.

3. **Comfort**: With goggles, kids can swim without worrying about water getting into their eyes, making the experience more enjoyable.

4. **Enhanced Focus**: By eliminating distractions caused by stinging eyes, kids can concentrate better on their instructor and the lesson.

5. **Safety**: Goggles can help kids navigate underwater more effectively, which can be important for their safety and awareness while swimming.

6. **Encouragement**: Wearing goggles can make swimming feel more like a fun activity rather than a chore, encouraging kids to participate actively.

7. **Skill Development**: Kids can practice techniques such as diving and flipping more easily, as they can see their surroundings clearly without the hindrance of water in their eyes.

Overall, goggles can significantly enhance the swimming experience for children, making lessons more effective and enjoyable.

💦GUST staff doing the daily checks this morning on the UV system in the plant room.
Having a UV system at GUST means our pools are particularly beneficial for babies and kids for several reasons:

1. **Reduced Chemical Exposure**: UV systems minimize the need for harsh chemicals like chlorine, which can irritate sensitive skin and eyes, making the water safer for young children.

2. **Lower Risk of Infections**: UV light effectively kills harmful pathogens and bacteria, reducing the risk of waterborne illnesses that can affect children, who might have weaker immune systems.

3. **Gentler on Skin**: The absence of strong chemical treatments means that the water is gentler on delicate baby and children's skin, helping to prevent rashes and other skin irritations.

4. **Better Water Clarity**: UV systems help maintain clearer water by breaking down organic materials, ensuring that kids can see and enjoy the pool without the worry of murky or contaminated water.

5. **Safer Swimming Environment**: With improved disinfection and reduced algae growth, the risk of slips and falls is lower, contributing to a safer swimming environment for children.

6. **No Strong Chemical Smells**: UV pools typically have little to no chemical odor, creating a more pleasant experience for children and parents alike.

Overall, UV swimming pools create a safer and more enjoyable environment for babies and kids, allowing them to play and swim with reduced risks. ❤️👶
