The Surprising Reason You Should Buy Kids Swimsuits In These Specific Colors
Huff PostAmazon As the weather turns, you’re likely looking for new swimwear for your quickly-growing little ones. Yet, before you select suits in darker hues, Natalie Livingston, lifeguard and co-founder of Alive Solutions, a water safety consulting and education company recommends opting for swimsuits in neon colors – tones that can easily spotted during an emergency. “Many parents were selecting swimwear that was super cute and fashionable, but would cause their children to potentially disappear under the water.” In 2020, Livingston and Alive Solutions conducted an informal study testing the visibility of different colored swimsuits in light-bottomed pools, dark-bottomed pools and lakes. The company determined that neon pink and neon orange offers the most visibility in light-bottomed pools, while neon orange, neon green and neon yellow stood out the most in dark-bottomed pools and lakes. It’s important to note that these “safe” swimsuit colors will be rendered meaningless without additional precautions in place.
