Swim & Safety Buoys - the best swimming buoys at a glance

It doesn't matter whether it's a small lake in front of the front door or the big water - a swimming buoy is part of every trip to open water, because it offers one thing above all: safety. Especially when you are traveling alone, the small gadget can save your life in unforeseen emergencies. But even without life-threatening scenarios, it is worth taking a swimming buoy with you when swimming in open water, because it usually has a number of other useful functions that are very useful for both amateur athletes and performance-oriented swimmers. We will show you the most important functions of the buoys and introduce you to five different models. And it's this easy:

Properties - that's what makes the buoys so practical and valuable

1. Small, light, quick to inflate: the buoys are inflated with the mouth just before swimming, no pump is necessary for this. Until then, they can be stowed away small and handy when not inflated, and when folded (or rolled up) they hardly take up any space.

2. Visibility: Signal colors are the keyword here. Swimmers can be recognized from afar thanks to the striking buoy colors (orange, neon, yellow, pink, etc.) - also important if you are in water with other water sports enthusiasts (stand-up paddlers, surfers) or with boat traffic.

3. Dry bag: many buoys have a dry bag, ie objects such as smartphones, car keys, etc. can be stowed away waterproof inside the buoy and taken with you. Very useful if you don't want to leave your valuables unattended on the beach while swimming. The larger the buoy, the larger the volume of the dry bag, so that clothes, towels or flip-flops can easily be accommodated inside the buoy. Note: first pack the items into the deflated buoy, then inflate it so that the air chamber(s) can reliably unfold around the contents of the dry bag.

4. Swimming properties and safety: as already described, the most important function of the buoy - not for nothing the name "Swim & Safety Buoy". The buoy is fastened around the waist with a strap and simply pulled behind you within easy reach when swimming. This means that it is always easy to reach, for example in the event of a cramp or simply when taking a break from swimming. When swimming, the buoy floats almost imperceptibly on the water surface, offers no resistance and does not interfere with the swimming movements, regardless of the swimming technique. Depending on the model, other safety-related features can be part of the scope of equipment of the buoys, such as handles or a signal whistle.

Swim & Safety Buoy Ultimate

Not only buoy, but much more! We have once again improved the popular Classic swimming buoy and equipped it with top-class features.

• Buoy = backpack: in addition to the hip belt, the buoy has a flexible carrier system so that it can be carried like a backpack on land. For use as a buoy in the water, the straps are simply removed and stowed in the buoy's dry bag.
• Mobile phone window with touch function: Thanks to the waterproof viewing window, you can keep an eye on your smartphone at all times and can even use it. Who is this useful for? If you would like to track your swim distances via apps or if you would like to take your smartphone or buoy with you to other water sports activities (SUP, kayak, etc.) and use the mobile phone functions at any time.
• Increased visibility through LEDs: the scope of delivery of the buoy includes additional luminous LED strips, which can be pushed into the side of the buoy if required to ensure even more visibility. Thanks to two-stage LEDs - permanently lit or flashing - the swimmer is always clearly visible, even in the dark or in poor conditions (fog).
