Happy New Year

06/01/2017

Firstly I would like to start by wishing all of our customers old and new a very happy and prosperous 2017.

At the start of every year most of us tend to make some sort of resolution to try and change or enhance a particular aspect of our lives. For many of us this seems to revolve around our health and fitness and a determination to bring about a level of improvement.

If this is something you, or somebody you know, are thinking of doing then swimming can help you achieve your targets. Remember too it can be fun! Don’t be deterred if you normally wear glasses and are apprehensive about swimming without any visual correction as Goggleyed can supply you with goggles fitted with optical lenses to suit your prescription.

Swimming is a great all round activity. It gets your heart rate going to build cardiovascular fitness, tones muscles and builds strength and endurance. Although other activities can yield these benefits exercising in water has the added advantage of achieving them without the threat of impact stress on your body, a high risk with most other forms of exercise. This makes it great for anybody who needs to take it easy on their joints and indeed many athletes use swimming to regain their stamina after injury.

But it is not only the physical effects that make swimming a great choice as it is also known to improve mood. A major study found that swimmers increase positivity by 35% after putting in some lengths. It works by releasing endorphins and relaxes the mind in a very similar way to yoga.

With all of these fantastic benefits for all ages it really is a great way to start off the new year and beat the January blues. And of course you know where to come to order your swimming goggles! We cater for both short and long sighted swimmers and our product is custom made to suit the individual prescription of each eye.
