The tennis legend, 37, and her 2-year-old daughterAlexis Olympiaare one sassy, summery pair in coordinating hot-pink one-piece swimsuits, posing together in a snapshot Williams shared to Instagram on Tuesday.
Standing behind little Olympia with her hand on her hip, the athlete flashes a big smile at the camerawhile her suit proclaims, “THE SHADY ONE.”
Meanwhile, Olympia — looking a little unsure about the photo op, and more serious than Williams — wears a bathing suit in the exact same shade that reads “WILD CHILD,” in white lettering that matches her mom’s.
Williams partnered withPampersthis past April to help end judgment and the stigma against parents letting their kids be their lively selves, tellingOprahMag.com, “To me, a wild child isn’t necessarily negative. It also means being spirited, growing and learning.”

“With my daughter, in particular, it’s important to just let her experience life and be curious. I always want herto be comfortable and to learn things,” she added.
“We don’t make shoes yet in the collection but my whole shoe closet is for her and that’s why I buy so many,” Williams told PEOPLE in December of her clothing lineThe Serena Collection.
The superstar athlete added that she was also “definitely” saving a pink sweater that reads, “I Am Beautiful I Am Strong,” for when Olympia gets older.
