COVID-19 Response Update Week 2

Every Monday we will cover the progress of our COVID-19 response and how our amazing community is helping frontline workers by donating 15$ which enables us, THEMAGIC5, to provide free custom-fit goggles to nurses, doctors, and other frontline workers. 

Goggles shipped as alternative PPE for Healthcare workers: 
Week 1 = 300 goggles
Week 2 = 604 goggles (Due to lack of funding we had to stop fulfillment Friday, read more below).

Comment from our Co-founder, Rasmus Barfred:
"As expected, going into last week we saw a sharp increase in-demand from health workers, as goggles from the first-week shipment started hitting hospitals, we got tons of requests from those places. We have shipped more than 100 goggles to 1 hospital alone. Monday to Friday last week, we shipped more than 300 new goggles. Unfortunately, as our fundraiser is not increasing at the same phase, we have had to reject all requests since Friday, that's of course unfortunate".

Received funding from our amazing community, customers, friends, and family:
Week 1 = $5,372 from 100 unique donors. 
Week 2 = $ 8,062 from 166 unique doners.

Comment from our Co-founder, Rasmus Barfred:
"We continue to be amazed by our community and those who are supporting our initiative to support healthcare workers. As we can see that requests for help is quite a lot bigger than the funding levels, we are trying to reach out to foundations that might be able to help our fundraising with larger grants - all to ensure that we can continue to help and do not have to reject any healthcare workers. Private donations are still very welcome, every 15$ help 1 person on the frontline. 

What are the funds being used for?
As much as we would like to donate goggles for free, we simply can't afford to do that. Our process of custom-producing each pair for each user is a costly process and we need your help to cover that. The production takes place at our Charlotte, NC facility. 

If you just donate 15$, we will take care of the rest. In other words, if you support with 15$ we can supply 1 pair of free tailor-made goggles to healthcare personnel.

Frequently asked questions

What are the four swimming strokes?

The four main competitive swimming strokes are freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Each uses different body positions, breathing patterns, kicks, and arm movements.The four main competitive swimming strokes are freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Each uses different body positions, breathing patterns, kicks, and arm movements.

AsWhich swimming stroke is the fastest?

Freestyle is the fastest competitive swimming stroke thanks to its streamlined body position, continuous arm movements, and efficient flutter kick. It is the preferred stroke for most sprint and distance events.

Which swimming stroke burns the most calories?

Butterfly generally burns the most calories because it requires continuous full-body movement, a powerful dolphin kick, and a high level of muscular effort throughout the swim.

Which swimming stroke is easiest to learn?

Many beginners start with breaststroke because its slower pace and natural breathing pattern make it easier to learn. Freestyle is also commonly introduced early since it forms the foundation for many swim training programs.

Why should I learn all four swimming strokes?

Learning multiple strokes improves overall swimming technique, develops different muscle groups, enhances coordination, and creates more balanced workouts. It also helps swimmers become more adaptable and confident in different swimming environments.
