Bright bathers = safer swimmers 🌈🩳
Our PARC Swim team demonstrate that when it comes to swimwear for little ones, the right colour can matter!
🟡 Bright colours like neon orange, pink, yellow or lime green can be easier to spot.
🔵 While some dark or pale colours and may disappear in busy pools or in open water.
As we enter the height of Summer, and more of us in and around water, help your children stand out for all the right reasons!
Go bright, go bold, and stay safer around water!
