Dd having top up swimming lessons at school, no goggles allowed

[Longdistance]

Hello
My dd is now in Year 5, and was going to swimming lessons throughout year 4. Dd already can swim 50 metres, dive really deep and retrieve items from the bottom of the pool, but they’re not allowed goggles, hence her not passing.
I wear goggles when I swim, as I hate water in my eyes. Is there any reason why they won’t allow goggles? The chlorine makes her eyes sting, so she finds it difficult. We’ve just got back from holiday where she was constantly in the pool with goggles. Is there a reason behind not wearing goggles?

Think pool safety should be about taking care not to fall in. They should be allowed goggles. That's unfair.

It's not about falling into the pool. It's about falling into a river, or a lake, or the sea, or the pond. There are lifeguards at the pool.

Presumably they're also doing these lessons fully clothed in 12 degree water to properly reflect the 'falling into a lake' scenario

I agree with other's that whatever encourages children to keep swimming and become stronger swimmers is important and if that includes wearing goggles so be it.
