What are the safest swimsuit colors?
Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4 years old and the second-leading cause of injury death for children ages 5 to 9 years old.
Drowning is quick and silent- unlike what you see in the movies. Children bob up and down just at the surface trying to get air, they aren’t splashing around yelling for help.
Just below the surface, some swimsuit colors can actually look like a cluster of leaves or debris, and not a struggling child. Other colors can virtually disappear in water.
Fortunately, by taking a few precautions, drowning also is one of the most preventable childhood injuries. So whether you are going to the pool, the lake or traveling to the gulf… before purchasing your kids’ swimwear for the season check out the color visibility test results below.
Let’s all have a safe summer around the water!!
