What you wear matters!

Did you know that what you and your children wear to the pool or lake makes a difference when it comes to safety? Take a look at this image:

While you can see most of the colors on the surface, what happens when they’re on the bottom? Many of those colors disappear almost entirely! Colors that are similar to the water, such as blues and greens, don’t fare very well in this test. Surprisingly, black and white, which are typically high contrast colors don’t do so well either. The brighter and more neon you can be, the easier it is to be spotted by a lifeguard if you end up on the bottom of the pool. Think 80’s neon bright this season!
