Every year in the United States, approximately 350 kids, between the ages of 1 and 4, tragically lose their lives to accidental drowning. That's nearly one child a day. There are several things to consider and one crucial aspect is highly visible swimwear. Neon is the only color that has any visibility underwater.  Unfortunately, finding neon swimwear is nearly impossible. That's why a couple of Maine moms decided to change that because when seconds count, visibility matters.

Can you even see the patterned swimsuit?

The founder of HiViz Mary Estes experienced every parent's worst nightmare when her 2-year-old vanished from sight in an instant. Frantically scanning the water, she realized that her daughter's light blue swimsuit would disappear, making her nearly invisible.

With HiViz Swimwear, you'll have the highest level of visibility available in any swimsuit on the market.
