swim mask

Small things make me happy.

I used to swim all the time but being allergic to chlorine had a cumulative negative impact on my enjoyment. But now that I have access to a saltwater swimming pool, I’m enjoying the sport all over again.

However, I wear contact lenses. I got myself a pair of goggles. They seemed to work well, but when I got out of the pool and looked at myself in the mirror I almost fainted. I had two bright red indentations encircling pasty puffed up skin under my eyes. I looked like a koala bear. The first time I swam with goggles in a saltwater pool, the eye enhancements were dramatically visible for about 8 hours and still noticeable by me three days later.

I tried swimming without my contact lenses but I couldn’t even see the line on the bottom of the pool, so I kept going crooked and bumped into people.

And then I discovered Seal Masks.

They look dorky, but so do goggles. And they are so crisp and clear to see through. And best yet, they don’t give me raccoon eyes. I am happy!
