High Visibility Swimwear
Some of our swimsuits are labeledย โHigh-Visibilityโ (Hi-Vis) because their colours or contrasts may be easier to spot in water. Bright shades like neon orange, yellow, lime green, or hot pink often stand out, while blues, greens, or greys can blend in more. Hi-Vis can be especially useful in busy pools, open water, low light, or whenever you want extra visibility. Other times, you may simply choose a different colour for style, comfort, or personal preference. Both options have their place - swimsuit design can support visibility, but it is never a replacement for active supervision around water.
What Makes a Swimsuit Hi-Vis?
Fluorescent or bright colours
such as neon yellow, orange, pink, lime green
Strong contrasts
