Best Swim Goggles for People on the Autism Spectrum

March 10, 2021

Frogglez swimming goggles give children control over their goggles and help foster independence during swim lessons. The popular kids swim goggles are used in adaptive swim programs all over the world because they don't require advanced motor skills.

Only swim goggles that are a Certified Autism Resource

Frogglez Goggles are the only swimming goggles certified as a trusted resource that provides a therapeutic benefit and improves the quality of life of individuals with autism. The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) approved Frogglez Goggles as a Certified Autism Resource. The Certified Autism Resource designation makes it easier for parents and swim instructors to identify them as an appropriate therapeutic tool.

Swim lessons are critical for people on the autism spectrum

Adaptive swim lessons and water therapy are a critical part of reducing the alarmingly high drowning rate of children with autism. The easy on, easy off design allows swim instructors to devote more time to swimming skills instead of wasting precious lesson time adjusting goggles.

Customize Frogglez swim goggles for therapy

The universal strap can be used with almost any swimming goggles, so parents and instructors can tailor Frogglez to meet specific therapy needs. For example, a wide-view swim mask can address proprioception issues, while tinted goggles can reduce anxiety. The end result is better-prepared swimmers.

Frogglez are designed to be easy to use

Dr. Chris designed Frogglez after watching his daughter struggle with her swim goggles at her first swim lesson. Because the children didn't have the motor skills to adjust their own goggles, the swim instructors spent more time helping swimmers with their goggles than they did teaching.
