A company called Alive Solutions tested several different colors of swimsuits to see how well you could see them at the bottom of a pool and at the bottom of a lake.

Here are some colors you should avoid buying swimsuits in.

LIGHT BLUE - This color matches the color of the water in many pools and makes seeing children underwater very hard for parents and lifeguards.

LIGHT GREEN - This color tested poorly in lakes and ponds since green could be confused with moss or other natural items like leaves and animals. It blends in very well with the water.

WHITE - This color blends in very well with pool and lake water. The different shades of colors of the water match the white and light reflects off the color making it very hard to see.
