Closed Ban children's swimsuits that do not contrast against water

Closed on

We want the production and sale of children’s swimsuits which camouflage when in a body of water must be banned. We want all children’s swimsuits to be manufactured in bright colours which can clearly be seen when in water.

Lifeguards and rescue workers already have a difficult task when searching for a person or child in water. Dark, blue, grey and white swimsuits can act as a camouflage and make locating a person under water even more difficult. Bright swimsuits in reds, oranges, neon and rainbow make swimmers easy to spot and can be the difference between life and death.
