Aqua Sphere goggles, suits, and coupon

  • Aqua Sphere makes the BEST goggles that we could find for our kids. After going through several junky pairs and finding nothing we were happy with in stores, John went online and found Aqua Sphere goggles for the kids a few years ago. I can’t say enough good things about them because we are on our third summer with these goggles! With the exception of some scratches on the lens our goggles have taken years of abuse (like being baked out in the sun and being left on the bottom of the pool for days). They didn’t even get the winters off because the kids like using them in the bathtub (good for playing scuba diver with all our ocean creatures and for keeping shampoo out of their eyes). I of course said yes to review the goggles because now we have a great supply when the kids’ friends come over! Ethan got a new pair that is tinted like sunglasses but all of the goggles provide 100% UVB and UVA protection. Jamie got a pink pair and this is her first summer with goggles. Until now we didn’t have to worry about long hair and goggles but the VERY easy to adjust straps allow us to put the goggles on her loosely and then tighten them once they are in position. The boys are only  4 and 6 years old and can do the goggles by themselves most of the time.
  • Knowing the high quality of the goggles made me very excited to review the Stingray Core Warmer suit for kids. It is so well made and perfect for our needs. The neoprene body shows no signs of wear, snagging or piling. The zipper is really chunky and sturdy so I can’t see it ever breaking. We got a small for Jamie and an XL for the boys to share but we will be purchasing a second boy suit since it is great AND at $30 a great bargain compared to lesser quality suits I’ve seen.  The suits definitely have some stretch to them since Ethan accidentally put on Jamie’s suit and swam in it for about an hour. I think it will fit her fine for another year and the boys should get two more years out of the XL since we ordered on the big size for them.  Our kids live in the water all summer so I love suits that blocks out harmful rays and provide good coverage but I never thought about getting the kids suits that would keep them warm. They want to get in the pool in early spring and I recall the boys taking a very chilly swim in mid October last year and these suits would have been perfect (oh and if we ever go to that beach in Maine again…).  Even now in June our NY pool is too cold for me and the Stingray suits definitely extend the time the kids can swim comfortably (before they get out and “sunbath” on the deck). We don’t have a pool that ever gets hot so I don’t see why the kids can’t use the suits all summer even when its really hot out.

  • This was a review that wasn’t just for the kids, I got an Aqua Sphere Lady’s top and ladies goggles as well! I love the look of my top and the fact that it will keep me warmer in the pool. My only issue with my top is that I wish they offered some larger sizes (the XL is a pretty snug fit on me currently but I hope to fix that).  I am a wimp with chilly water so I haven’t actually tried mine in the pool yet though! My goggles fit well and seem great but again I haven’t ventured into the pool to try them yet!
