Buoy: SWIM BUOY CLASSIC
The SWIM BUOY is a must-have for my open water swimming. It has often made me visible in the lake and takes my car keys and mobile phone with me on trips. The quality is so good and the buoy is so resilient that I use a second one as a backpack. I find this buoy ingenious, well thought-out and helpful.

Stephan

I was sceptical as to whether I would use the SWIM BUOY at all, but it's always there! Gives extra safety, the buoyancy chamber is super big and stable, really fun!

Karin

I'm usually swimming in local lakes. This SWIM BUOY PRO is the best I've used so far. The integrated dry bag let's me store my personal items, so I don’t worry about theft during open water swims. I don't notice the buoy while swimming, letting me swim longer and farther with confidence.

The SWIM BUOY from RESTUBE provides buoyancy in critical situations. It hardly interferes with swimming, increases visibility and is suitable for many bodies of water. The buoy can be tested free of charge at many river and lake resorts in Switzerland.

Athletes trust RESTUBE

Josef Köberl | Ice Swimmer & world record holder

"I have been using the RESTUBE Safety System for training in long-distance swimming and ice swimming since 2014. The safety buoy gives me confidence and signals to people at the shore and in the boats that I know what I am doing."

Nathalie Pohl | Extreme swimmer & Ocean's Seven finisher

“Despite the escort boat, you swim out there alone. RESTUBE helps me keep my focus while swimming. The super small Safety System has no flow resistance and is weightless in the water. A pull on the trigger inflates the yellow safety buoy in seconds, which gives me an even better feeling.”

Holger Lüning | Sports scientist and swimming coach

"There are just so many factors in open water that you can't possibly anticipate every possibility. One of the reasons I still feel safe is because of my constant companion, RESTUBE."

Top Qualität.

Perfektes und notwendiges Must Have

Für mein Open Water Schwimmen ist diese Boje ein notwendiges Must Have. Sie hat mich schon oft im See sichtbar gemacht und nimmt Autoschlüssel und Handy mit auf den Trip.

Die Qualität ist so gut und die Boje so belastbar, dass ich eine zweite als Rucksack verwende.

Diese Boje finde ich genial, durchdacht und hilfreich.

Persönliche Sicherheit

Die Boye ist wirklich toll wenn man sich persönlich sicherer fühlen möchte.

Ich bin meistens alleine im Wasser oder die einzige Person im Wasser, die über außreichende Distanz schwimmen kann. Demnach fühle ich mich deutlich sicherer wenn ich die boye dabei habe auch wenn nichts passiert.

Dadurch ist man sich sicher gesehen zu werden falls etwas sein sollte.

Auch die Idee mit dem Drybag ist super nur leider würde ich empfehlen empfindliche Gegenstände nochmal in einem extra Drybag zu verstauen, da der der Boye nicht ganz wasserdicht ist.

Zudem würde ich es cool finden, wenn man die Boye an den Hüftgurt fixieren könnte, da man ihn schnell verlieren kann, wenn man vergisst die schnalle zu schließen oder die Boye um einen herum schwimmt wenn stärkerer Wellengang herrscht.

Ansonsten sehr valides Produkt auf das ich nicht verzichten möchte.

Learn more about the Swim Buoy

Where can you find swimming buoys?

You can find a swimming buoy wherever water sports accessories and water sports safety equipment are sold. At RESTUBE, we specialize in water safety products. Our inflatable swimming buoy with integrated waterproof dry bag is perfect for open water swimming, such as triathlons. It is worn with a strap around your waist and provides visibility and extra buoyancy when you need it. The swimming buoy has almost no resistance in the water. Test it yourself on your next open water adventure!

How big is a Swim Buoy?

The size and length of a swimming buoy can vary. The SWIM BUOY is 76 cm long and has a volume of 12.5 liters. The buoyancy is specified in Newton and amounts to 125N – which corresponds to about 12.5 kg. This is sufficient for an adult leaning over the buoy. This keeps the head and airways above water. A Swim Buoy with a length of 76 cm in the signal color yellow is also ideal for ensuring visibility while swimming in open water – for your safety!

What colors do Swim Buoy come in?

Swim Buoys can be different colors, but usually they are yellow or orange to provide a contrast with the water for visibility. The SWIM BUOY comes in a vibrant yellow to ensure just that. If water sports are also practiced at night, reflector strips can be added. The SWIM BUOY is perfect for the safety of open water swimmers or triathletes. It also features a separate waterproof compartment, called a dry bag, where things like running shoes, keys or energy bars can be stowed.

What materials are used for Swim Buoys?

Many Swim Buoys are made of PVC. This is not the case with the inflatable SWIM BUOY with integrated waterproof dry bag. It is 100% PVC free. Only high quality and durable nylon TPU material is used.

How are Swim Buoys installed?

Many Swim Buoys are attached to a strap that is worn around the waist. There are also models that you can wear on your arm or even with your backpack system. However, these variants have more disadvantages than advantages according to our tests. The SWIM BUOY for your safety when swimming in open water comes with an adjustable waist strap and the rope length of the buoy can be adjusted individually.

Why are Swim Buoys important?

Swim Buoys are very important to have for water sports in open water. Swim Buoys ensure visibility when swimming and participating in triathlons. This makes it easier for other water sports enthusiasts, passing boats, or lifeguards and emergency services to recognize you. Also, Swim Buoys provide buoyancy whenever you need it. For example, if you want to take a break in the water, regain your strength, or need to get your bearings. Additional buoyancy increases your safety considerably and can often quickly defuse a critical situation. You can also separate the Swim Buoy from you and pass the buoyancy to another person. The SWIM BUOY also offers you a separate waterproof compartment, a dry bag where you can store useful things like running shoes, keys, and energy bars.

What kinds of shapes can Swim Buoys have?

A Swim Buoy floats behind the swimmer and is also often equipped with a waterproof dry bag for personal belongings. Inflatable Swim Buoys come in different shapes and sizes. The SWIM BUOY is “tube-shaped”. For this reason, the English word “tube” is part of the name RESTUBE. The inflatable SWIM BUOY is 76 cm long and has a diameter of 35 cm. Its shape and size are perfect for open water swimming, such as triathlons. They significantly increase the safety of the wearer. There are also other forms of Swim Buoys designed for specific applications.

How much do Swim Buoys cost?

The prices of Swim Buoys vary, as does the quality. Our SWIM BUOY has been extensively tested and is made of high-quality, durable materials. The buoy is completely PVC free, as we only use high-quality nylon TPU material. Try our Swim Buoy in open water swimming or in a triathlon and ensure increased safety for yourself, as well as others, with visibility and extra buoyancy when you need it. The inflatable SWIM BUOY is available for 39.95 euros. Sign up for our newsletter now to make sure you don’t miss out on any of our special offers!
