Can my child wear a nose clip or goggles?

Nose clips are allowed for all events.

Goggles are allowed in routine events only with medical certification, which must be given to the Chief Referee at least 30 minutes before the event. Masters and Adaptive athletes may use goggles in all events without medical certification.

In the figures event, goggles and nose clips may be worn.
