The world’s leading swimrun series, ÖTILLÖ, is stepping up its safety game: RESTUBE is now the official safety partner for the entire 2025 race season, equipping all rescue teams with the RESTUBE AUTOMATIC. This partnership marks a powerful alliance between two leaders in their fields – united by one goal: to ensure the highest level of safety for all athletes, without compromising performance or freedom.
RESTUBE AUTOMATIC – Smart Safety, Ready in Seconds
Designed for professional water rescue, RESTUBE AUTOMATIC is a compact flotation device that inflates automatically upon water contact. Once triggered, the integrated CO₂ cartridge inflates the buoy within seconds, providing instant flotation and visibility. Lifeguards can quickly stabilize swimmers or signal help – all without needing to manually deploy anything during an emergency.
Attached directly to the rescuer’s gear, RESTUBE AUTOMATIC is ideal for dynamic and unpredictable environments – like those found at ÖTILLÖ events. These races demand long swims in open, cold waters combined with intense trail running across remote terrain. With RESTUBE AUTOMTATIC, the safety teams gain a powerful tool to react faster and more effectively when every second counts.
Season Opener in Sweden: The Original Sets the Standard
As tradition has it, the ÖTILLÖ 2025 season kicks off in Sweden, at the iconic ÖTILLÖ Swimrun Utö. Known as the birthplace of swimrun, Utö hosted the very first race back in 2006. The raw beauty of the Stockholm archipelago, cold waters, and technical trails make it one of the most challenging and rewarding races on the calendar.
On June 7, hundreds of teams from around the globe will take on this legendary course, racing across islands, swimming between rocky shores, and pushing their limits through one of endurance sport’s most unique formats. For the first time, the full safety team on-site will be equipped with RESTUBE AUTOMATIC – providing rapid-response flotation and enhanced visibility for participants across every leg of the course.
Safety Meets Adventure
This partnership between RESTUBE and ÖTILLÖ brings together what truly belongs together: cutting-edge safety innovation and one of the world’s most demanding endurance race series. For RESTUBE, it’s a natural next step in the mission to make water sports safer without limiting movement.
Whether in the Nordic wilderness, alpine lakes, or the Mediterranean coastline – RESTUBE AUTOMATIC will be by the side of every rescue professional at all ÖTILLÖ races in 2025.
RESTUBE wishes all athletes a successful, fair, and above all, safe season!
