Today marks the start of Sun Awareness week which runs from 14th May – 20th May. It is a week dedicated to raising awareness of the dangers of sun exposure and to promoting sun safety.
The majority of people know that in order to stay safe in the sun they can wear sun lotion, sun hats, sun glasses and drink plenty of water BUT not many people know that when swimming outside in the sun our eyes are still exposed, even if we are wearing goggles.

Sunglasses ( as eyes require protection). Aim for sufficient fluids / refreshments :- As need to maintain hydration and avoid dehydration. Cool comfortable clothing such as cotton. Appropriate sunscreen cream / lotion application :- There is the need to keep up to date in regards to guidance regarding SPF factor, frequency of applications, etc. Rest periods in the shade. Comfortable, appropriate footwear. Limit time in sunshine ( especially direct sunshine, etc). We thankfully are not sun worshippers, we prefer activities, sightseeing, swimming, entertainment, etc.

What a great idea, I wouldn’t even have thought of protective swimming goggles! It’s common sense when you think about it, you wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, after all. It’s so important to be careful of our eyes as too much sun exposure can cause real problems, even if they don’t surface for years.
