First and foremost, blue is the color that most closely resembles the color of the water.

This can be dangerous because it can make it difficult for parents and lifeguards to spot kids in the water.

If a child is in distress or needs help, it’s essential that they can be spotted quickly. This is especially important in crowded pools or at the beach where there are many people.

Blue swimwear may be a popular choice, but it’s important to consider the risks associated with this color. Consider brighter colors, like pink or orange, which can make it easier to spot your child in the water.
