High Visibility Swimwear
Some of our swimsuits are labeled “High-Visibility” (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
like bold piping, zippers, or colour blocks
Eye-catching prints

Hi-Vis can be especially useful in busy pools, lakes, or changing light. But it’s not always necessary - sometimes you may choose a different colour that fits your child’s style or comfort. Based on the research and information available from water-safety organizations, we’ve designed and labeled certain options that we believe fall into the “Hi-Vis” category. This designation is intended as a helpful guide only and should never be interpreted as a safety guarantee. Swimsuit colour can support visibility, but it is never a replacement for active supervision around water.
