Swimming Essentials to Stock Up on for Summer
New Jersey is quickly warming up, and now is the best time to save on great swimming gear specials here at Efinger Sporting Goods. Whether you’re putting your swimming pool to use or heading to the beach, don’t forget these essential swimming accessories:
Goggles
- Swimming goggles are more than just a toy; they’re also an important safety device. Swimming isn’t considered a contact sport, but it does involve a lot of powerful movements that can cause eye injuries. The chlorine in swimming pools isn’t likely to cause permanent eye damage, but it can cause irritation and it doesn’t kill all of the bacteria in the water.
Caps
- Chlorine will dry out your hair, making it more prone to split ends or breakage, particularly if you have treated hair. A swimming cap will protect your locks and can also keep water out of your ears.
Nose Clips & Ear Plugs
- There’s no doubt that getting water in your nose is an unpleasant experience, and bacteria in the water can also agitate your sinuses. There are swimming techniques to keep water out of your nose, but a simple nose clip will spare you (and your children) the trouble. If you swim often, consider investing in a set of swimming ear plugs to prevent an infection.
Toys
- And last but certainly not least, don’t forget plenty of pool toys such as snorkels and flippers to keep your children entertained. Remember, swimming accessories are no substitute for proper supervision, so always have an adult nearby when your children are swimming.
