Swim Instructor Mom Warns Parents Not to Buy Blue Swimsuits for Kids | ABC11
With summer and swim season just months away, one mom is warning other parents not to buy blue swimsuits for their kids.
Nikki Scarnati, a mom of two and swim instructor in Spring Hill, Florida, shared in a recent video post on her TikTok page why she doesn’t recommend them.
“This is not a regular bathing suit my daughter wears on a regular basis. I bought it on clearance specifically for this example for parents who wanted to learn,” the 32-year-old says in the video, turning the camera on her 2-year-old daughter Claire, who is seen treading water in a pool while wearing a light blue swimsuit.
“Look how difficult it is to see her under the water — and this is in calm water,” Scarnati continued. “This is not with a whole bunch of other kids playing, splashing around and having a good time. Even look in the sunlight, look how difficult it is to see her with that bathing suit on ’cause it’s the same color as our environment. So, do not buy a blue bathing suit guys.”
