Why Bright Colors Like Orange Are the Safest Choice for Girls’ Swimwear

When it comes to kids’ swimwear, style and sun protection are often top of mind—but safety should always be part of the conversation too. One often-overlooked factor? Color visibility in water.

The Science of Swim Safety Colors

Certain colors are easier to spot in pools, lakes, and the ocean than others. Bright hues like orange create strong contrast against the blues and greens of water. In fact, orange sits opposite blue on the color wheel, making it one of the most visible shades in aquatic environments.

That visibility could make all the difference in helping parents, lifeguards, or caregivers spot a child quickly in the water.

Meet Our Plumeria Orange Collection

At Sunguard Swim, we combined life-saving color visibility with our signature UPF 50+ sun protection, creating the ultimate blend of safety and style.

• Baby Emily Sunsuit: Full coverage with long sleeves and snaps for easy changes—ideal for babies and toddlers.

• Nola One-Piece: A timeless silhouette that keeps girls sun-safe and highly visible, perfect for long beach days.

• Reese Two-Piece: A sporty set for older girls who want freedom to move, with the same standout safety color.

Each piece is designed not just for sunny style, but to give parents peace of mind near any body of water.

Sun Protection + Visibility = The Safest Suit

While sunscreen helps protect skin, UPF 50+ swimwear blocks 98% of harmful rays—a must for sensitive young skin. Pairing this level of protection with a highly visible color like orange makes these suits some of the safest choices you can make for your child’s swim wardrobe.

A Parent’s Perspective

We believe swimwear should do more than look cute. It should keep kids sun-safe, water-visible, and beach-ready—because your peace of mind matters as much as their fun.

This season, choose a suit that stands out for all the right reasons.
