00:16In addition to paying attention to size, material, and comfort

00:28Because there was a recent post on social media sharing how swimsuit colors are easy to distinguish.
00:32The belief garnered over 100,000 likes and shares, sparking heated discussion.
00:36The Boston YMCA in the United States has also released a test video.
00:40This confirms that swimsuits of different colors have varying visibility in water.
00:45Significant differences
00:46Let's watch the video right away.
00:49Which color swimsuit is best for visibility underwater?
00:52Staff placed children's swimsuits of different colors at the bottom of the pool.
00:56The actual footage captured can be seen
00:58Fluorescent orange is almost immediately visible.
01:01As for red, peach, and purple, their recognizability is also quite high.
01:05On the contrary, gray, light cyan, light blue, and fluorescent green are more common.
01:09It can easily blend in with the reflection from the water's surface at the bottom of the pool.
01:12It requires careful observation to discover.
01:17It's not just the YMCA that's filming videos to warn parents.
01:20A swimming coach also shared a picture in the comments.
01:23Swimsuit color comparison chart
01:25What can be seen are different colors in different environments.
01:27For example, the effects in lakes and swimming pools will be significantly different.
01:31That is because the water color of natural lakes is relatively dark.
01:34Light reflection and water turbidity
01:37Colors like white, light blue, and gray blend easily with the water surface.
01:42You won't be able to see it if you're a little too far away.
01:44As for the pool environment
01:46Although the water is relatively clear
01:47However, since the bottom of the pool is mostly made of blue ceramic tiles...
01:50Therefore, white and light blue swimsuits are relatively dangerous.
01:53It will blend into the background.
01:55Those who cannot swim should be extra careful.
01:57It's best to choose swimsuits with high color saturation.
02:01Which recognition effect will be the best?
02:04A water safety expert stated in the report that...
02:07The color of a swimsuit is closely related to a person's visibility in the water.
02:11Especially if you are in natural bodies of water such as streams, lakes, or the sea.
02:15The color of the water changes a lot.
02:17Add reflections and waves
02:19Swimsuits with inherently low vibrancy can easily lose their color in a short period of time.
02:24If a drowning accident occurs...
02:26Rescuers also need to spend a few extra seconds searching for the target.
02:29Those few seconds could affect the golden rescue time.
02:34Therefore, high-contrast, vivid colors are more likely to be noticed immediately.
02:39What are the opportunities?
02:40While choosing a highly recognizable swimsuit can significantly improve water...
02:44Visibility below
02:45However, experts also warn that if your child is not familiar with swimming...
02:48Therefore, parents should accompany their children closely throughout the entire process.
02:51You can't just watch from the shore.
02:53If you can't swim, you should wear a qualified life jacket.
02:56Instead of relying on Yongxuan
02:58Please help again!
02:59Children should be placed in legally licensed swimming pools with lifeguards on duty.
03:04Avoid swimming alone in open waters such as streams and beaches.
03:07Finally, you need to pay attention to the weather and water flow.
03:10There are also warning signs on site.
03:12Experts emphasize that brightly colored swimsuits are only an aid.
03:16The correct security perspective
03:17And suitable equipment
03:19And the protection of adults' eyes
03:21This is the key to avoiding accidents.
