Mommy, I cant see!
Latest Nanny State victims are the little kiddies at St Sidwells Primary school, Exeter, Devon. Sorry kids, no swimming goggles for you. Yep, unless your eyes blow up like a beachball from chemicals in the pool you will just have to do without. OK, want to hear the health and safety reasons for this one? Here we go compliments of the British Association of Advisors and Lecturers in Physical Education (BAALPE) “Wet plastic is very slippery and frequent, incorrect or unnecessary adjustment or removal of them, by pulling them away from the eyes instead of sliding them over the forehead, can lead to them slipping from the pupil’s grasp with the hard plastic causing severe injury.” Sure, so it is OK for kids to have their eyes floating around in chlorine. I wonder what’s the next stop is on the Nannyville Express!
