Summer means more time at pools, lakes, beaches, splash pads, and outdoor adventures.
While most parents remember sunscreen and life jackets, there's one water safety tip many families don't know:
👙 The color of your child's swimsuit matters.
Research and water safety experts have found that bright neon colors such as:
🟡 Neon Yellow
🟠 Bright Orange
🟢 Neon Green
🩷 Bright Pink
are often easier for parents, lifeguards, and rescuers to see in pools, lakes, and oceans.
Colors that can be more difficult to see underwater include:
🔵 Light Blue
⚪ White
⚫ Dark Colors
🩶 Gray
Swimsuit color is never a replacement for supervision, swim lessons, or proper water safety practices—but it can provide an additional layer of visibility when seconds matter.
As you shop for summer swimwear, consider choosing bright, high-visibility colors that can help your child stand out in the water.
And don't forget:
✔ Apply sunscreen regularly
✔ Stay hydrated
✔ Wear helmets while biking and scootering
✔ Never leave children unattended near water
✔ Make sure life jackets fit properly
A safe summer is a fun summer. ☀️
