isnt hot to swim at 2 - 5 P.M. ? why does pool open at this kind of time ?
any public pool open at evening 5 to 7 P.M. ?

Hi I just started my swimming lessons last week.
Wanna ask if you guys got use any prevention chlorine cream before start swimming? Do recommend if there have any. My face kinda itchy after swim n applied moisture seem not working well..

Or recommend what cream u guys use to make the itchy got away. Btw female beginner here.

Thanks

Yeah haha...i bought it and have been using for 1 month now. The retail price is RM105. Frankly speaking, I'm quite impressed by the build material. The lens is not actually glass, it's bendable and it's crystal clear. The len size is big hence able to give wide angle vision but in my opinion it's a bit too big because nowadays modern looking and good fitting goggles are designed with minimalistic form factor. Regarding the lens fog, the Amazon top reviewer said that it won't get fog which is not true. It does get fog and so do every other goggles. The silicone is watertight-fit, it can grip tightly to your eyes orbit even when you start off by diving into the pool from the platform, and the adjustable straps are designed in a convenient way for easy to adjust according to head size. Still too soon to judge whether the silicone is durable or will it easily wear off and rip apart, have to use at least up to 1 year and see. Price wise it's cheaper than Speedo Fastskin3 Elite goggles which cost RM149. I had a bad experience with the Speedo Fastskin3 Elite googles due to the blur lens that caused by the anti-fog solution applied by factory which is hard to be wiped off without scratching the surface. All in all, Aqua Sphere does make good quality products, of course now still cannot compete with Speedo's/Arena's portfolio but eventually it will become the rising brand in the near future.

Maybe the pool you go has too much chlorine? Tried other pools?

Usually if you can smell the chlorine at outside of the pool that means the pool is heavily chlorinated. Best is to avoid swimming in such pools.

hey sifu sekalian..
the goggle inside got a layer of oil correct. understood that we are not suppose to wipe it off..


may i know what is the oil? can i put baby oil when i feel that the oil is drying up?

swt it's not oil, it's anti-fog solution applied by factory.

where can i buy/ or what else i can use as replacement?

Most if not all swim shop would have them

Arena shop aka Sun Paradise outlets. Speedo outlet doesn't sell.

Sports direct also have but the liquid is quite pricey

cheap replacement:

1. buff with baby shampoo one drop on each lense, rub nicely with cloth before taking goggles for a swim.

2. forgot to buff before going to pool, no worries, collect some spit in your mouth and spit once on each lens and rub nicely with fingers. Then rinse once in water.

both methods are good enough for one swim session (because you'd rinse your goggles with tap water after use).

anti fog solution can get from royal sporting house outlets selling TYR stuffs.

this!

save money, no need buy anti fog. I always use shampoo or spit, lol. the spit trick is learnt when taking scuba licence. I don't rub with cloth though, just put some shampoo on and rub with finger. before use in pool rinse them off but not so much that the shampoo layer is gone. repeat as necessary.

Got to agree with you on this.

I have both Aqua Sphere Kayenna and Speedo Fastskin. Kayenne bought 1.5 yrs ago while Speedo Fastskin bought early this year.

Kayenne anti fogging is much better than Speedo, last longer. Easily 6-9 mths. Waterproofing also better. Speedo only good in design and packaging. Quite disappointed with Speedo durability, got foggy after couple of use and water easily get into the goggle even when it is still new. Kayenne easy adjustable buckle is great, at least it wouldn't easily getting loosen after some time in the water, unlike Speedo.

I use them quite often, both fresh and salt water. Now hoping old Kayenne wearing off faster so can get a new goggle for cross Kapas swim next year

Seems like there are a lot of good comments regarding the Kayenne goggles, really feel like getting one soon. Currently I'm using the Speedo vanquisher, strong strap with no leaks but the antifogging wear off after 1 to 2 use have to apply antifogging spray everytime I go to swim. Aside from the anti-fogging I think the vanquisher is the best goggles I have used so far, since everyone is recommending Kayenne, I might as well getting one.

Try scout for salt water chlorination pool, you can swim for hours without getting your skin wrinkling and hair friendly. usually some luxurious condo has them..

Thanks for sharing
must open big eyes to see where to get.

thanks.. lucky i have baby shamppoo.. using it

btw, i wanna get wa watch for swimming to track time.. after hunt down a few shop.. shall i go for sport brand ( i like Puma design) or go for those normal waterproof casio/sekio brand which not so sporty type

i haven wear any watch since like 10 year ago

If just to track time normal cheap digital watch (must be water resistant of course) should do the trick,
if you want to track your workout like calories burned go for misfit shine or misfit flash. http://misfit.com/
