Did you know your child’s swimsuit color is a crucial safety feature? 🎨🏊

When a child goes underwater, blue, white, and pale green swimsuits blend in completely with the pool lining, making them look like a shadow or towel at the bottom of the pool.

The safest colors underwater:
Pink 💗
Orange 🧡
Yellow 💛
Bright Red ❤️

Colors to avoid: Light blue, white, grey, and dark green.

Next time you're shopping for summer swimwear, go as bright and neon as possible!

3 Simple Tips for a Better Dive 🏊

☑️ Streamline First
Keep your arms straight overhead with your hands together and your head tucked between your arms. A strong streamline helps you enter the water smoothly.

☑️ Look Down 👀
Focus your eyes on the water. Looking down helps guide your body into a safe, clean dive.

☑️ Push, Don't Jump 💥
Drive forward from your starting position rather than jumping up. A forward push creates better momentum and allows for a more efficient entry.

Every great dive starts with good technique. Practice these tips next time you dive into the pool! 🌊💙
