Care for your Swimwear Post by : Admin | 27 May 2022 Care for your Swimwear Swimming Goggles: Once Inside the pool always wet your goggles and shake them to dry before wearing. This prevents fogging of lenses. Never wipe your goggles with a cloth to avoid damaging anti-fog coating. Chlorine damages silicon causing goggles to lose its sealing capacity. Regular swimmers would need to change their goggles every four to six months. After swimming dip your goggles in plain water and leave it to dry. Swimming Cap: Remove any clips/ pins from your hair as sharp metal edges can puncture your cap. Wear your cap carefully by pushing your hands inside the cap stretching it open, and gradually slipping it down the head. Make sure that you do not have long sharp nails. Wash your cap with plain water after every use. Use talcum powder to keep your cap safe and dry during storage. Swimming Costumes: Never wash your costumes in a washing machine, with hot water. Always hand-wash your swimming costume in tap water for a longer life. Rinse your swimming suit in tap water to remove chemicals , salt, sand or body oil to avoid damage to the fabric.
