Swim Secure – ChillSwim Safety Buoy – Dry Bag Window

Swim Secure – Dry Bag Window

 

 

 

An inflatable dry bag with a phone window that doubles as a safety buoy for increased visibility in the open water.

 

The Product:  Originally developed byChillSwim

The Swim Secure Dry Bag keeps your kit dry as you swim whilst also making sure you have increased visibility to others in the water, such as boat users and other swimmers. This model has an added window at the top of the bag that allows your phone or GPS to be visible as you swim.

A waist belt secures the bag to you whilst the short leash ensures the bag does not get in the way of your swim stroke. When not being used to store your belongings, the Dry Bag doubles as an inflatable buoy that provides something for you to rest upon should you become tired.

A small pouch at the front of the bag allows you to store your phone or GPS and the transparent window is thin enough to enable you to use your touch screen whilst your phone is inside.

The bag has a 28 litre capacity and its double airbag system and wide mouth valve enables it to be quickly inflated and deflated as required. 

Perfect for self supported and adventure swims, this Dry Bag can also double as a simple tow-float if the dry bag isn’t used.

Swim Secure advise that you put your kit in your bag before you inflate it! Its size before inflation is 72x37cm.

Some tips from Swim Secure:

How it works: There are 2 high flow nozzles; one to inflate the external chamber, which is separate from where your kit is stored; and the second to inflate the storage section once you have sealed the bag. The adjustable dual belt design clips securely around the swimmer’s waist and the leash ensures that the product remains out of swim stroke range whilst swimming.

Please note: The Window model does not hold air as well as other dry bags over extended periods of time; however this does not affect the flotation or ability to keep things dry. Swim Secure have tested every product, and the window dry bag will not leak air within 4 hours (plenty of time for most swims). This product is made from environmentally friendly PVC, a different material from the other inflatable dry bags (which are made from a nylon /PVC mix).

This is not a buoyancy aid, it does not give any buoyancy whilst swimming. The tow-float floats behind the swimmer on a short leash. 

Key Features:

• EASY-TO-USE – the bag’s double airbag system allows for quick inflation and deflation.
• STORAGE – includes an extra phone dry bag and a phone window for easy access to your phone in emergencies or GPS routes.
• VERSATILE – without your kit, the Dry Bag can be used as a simple tow-float.

• HIGHLY VISIBLE – with its bright orange design, the Dry Bag will help you to remain visible in the open water.

• SAFE – tow-floats are recommended by the Lake District National Park Authority for safer swimming in the open water.
