Mother develops goggles that don’t pull the children’s hair

About the solution

It all happened during a family vacation, and she was trying to adjust her daughter’s goggles.

“I first came up with Splash Swim Goggles as we were getting ready for a family vacation. My son's swim goggles were broken - again - it seemed like the rubber straps were always breaking! As I was trying to adjust my daughter's goggles to make sure they fit her properly, her hair kept getting pulled. She was becoming more and more frustrated and clearly expressed that she didn't want to bring them. I knew I had to do something, because who wants to spend their time at the pool messing with goggles that don't work and pull your hair?! That's when I designed the first pair of Splash Swim Goggles! My kids were so excited to use them! My daughter didn't need help adjusting them anymore and they didn't pull her hair like her old ones!”, the inventor described.

Then she decided to launch her product on the market, in 2017, so others could also benefit from it.

The goggles have high visibility anti-fog lenses, shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses, and are hypo-allergenic, latex and PVC free.

Splash Swim Goggles can be bought in retailers across the USA and Canada and also online from 19,95 USD.

They are available in different colours and can be used by children over three years old.
