When it comes to choosing the safest swimwear for your child, colour plays a crucial, and often overlooked, role.
Bright, contrasting colours can significantly improve visibility in the water, making it easier to spot your little one whether they're swimming in a pool, lake, or the sea.
Here are the top three safest colours for children's swimsuits: green, orange, and pink.
Why Colour Matters
In underwater environments, the ability to quickly locate your child can be a lifesaver. Certain colours stand out more than others, providing higher visibility against the varied backgrounds of water environments especially when water is disturbed by splashes and movement.
Colours like dark blue, light blue and grey can act as camouflage in water - please be mindful of this.
1. Neon Green
Neon green is one of the best choices for children’s swimwear. Its bright, fluorescent shade is highly visible in both pools and natural water bodies. The stark contrast against the blue or green hues of water makes it easier to spot a child quickly, especially in emergencies. Our bright green Dinosaur swimsuit is the perfect choice for a cute, yet safe swimsuit for your little one.
2. Bright Orange
Bright orange swimwear is another excellent option. This vibrant colour is often used for safety gear because of its high visibility. In water, bright orange stands out vividly against the typical colours of the environment, ensuring that children can be seen from a distance. We have recently introduced the cutest clownfish swimsuit for your little one - check it out here!
3. Hot Pink
Hot pink is not just a fun and popular colour choice among children, but it also serves a practical safety purpose. Its bold, bright appearance is easily noticeable underwater, making it an ideal choice for kids' swimsuits. The high contrast ensures that children can be seen clearly, whether they're playing near the shore or diving into the deep end of the pool. Our latest pink dragon swimsuit is a cute addition to a market lacking in highly visible, but fun, swimwear for our children.
Benefits of Choosing Bright Colours
- Enhanced Safety: Bright colours improve visibility, making it easier for lifeguards and parents to keep track of children.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your child is wearing a highly visible swimsuit can provide peace of mind during outings to the pool or beach. Making supervision easier and less stress.
- Fashionable: These colours, and our characters, are trendy and fun, making it easy for you to convince your child to wear the swimwear, as it feels like dress-up!
Additional Tips for Water Safety
- Supervision: Always keep a close eye on your children when they're in or near water.
- Swim Lessons: Enrol your children in swim lessons to build their confidence and skills in the water.
- Use of Floatation Devices: Equip young children with appropriate floatation devices for added safety.
Choosing the right swimsuit colour can make a significant difference in water safety for your child. Neon green, bright orange, and hot pink are the top choices for ensuring high visibility and providing peace of mind for parents.
Remember, safety comes first, but there's no reason why it can't be fun and stylish too!
