☀️ Summer Water Safety Reminder ☀️
As the weather warms up and families head to beaches, lakes, rivers, and swimming pools, here’s an important safety tip that many people don’t realise:
👙 The colour of your child’s swimsuit can make a huge difference to how visible they are in the water.
Bright neon colours such as fluorescent orange, pink, yellow, and green are often much easier to spot underwater and from a distance. Dark colours, blues, greys, and some pastel shades can quickly blend into the water, making it harder to see a child if they slip beneath the surface.
💙 While swimsuit colour can help with visibility, it is never a substitute for supervision. Always:
✔️ Keep children within arm’s reach around water
✔️ Designate a responsible water watcher
✔️ Swim near a buddy
✔️ Use properly fitted life jackets where appropriate
✔️ Teach children basic water safety skills
A few extra seconds of visibility could make all the difference in an emergency.
Please consider sharing this reminder with friends and family as we head into the summer season. 🌊☀️
