Firstly, the new Recycled Drybag Tow Float Range from Puffin Swim are the first swimmer’s tow floats in the UK to be made with Recycled Plastic (RPET). Recycling plastic helps to reduce landfill and reduce the number of new plastics being made. Indeed, these quality floats have been created by swimmers and swim safety experts Swim the Lakes.
Secondly, the Billy R28 Drybag Float easily attaches around the swimmer’s waist with the adjustable waist-strap and leash. Basically, it floats above the swimmers’ thighs and out of stroke range whilst swimming. The float leash is adjustable in length so the swimmer can alter it to their preferred length. It’s bright orange to make the swimmer more visible to other water users and is ideal for holding onto whilst taking a break. There’s even an integrated safety whistle at the buckle and gear attachment points.
Furthermore, with two inflatable chambers and a separate storage compartment, swimmers can place items inside to take on the swim, e.g. phone, keys, snacks. The float can be used in all swimming conditions, with or without your gear inside. As a result, this recycled Drybag Tow Float is waterproof, if used correctly, however it is recommended that electronic and other valuable items are sealed inside a waterproof pouch before placing inside the dry bag tow float.
The leash attaches to the float via a stainless-steel karabiner clip under the front of the float. Significantly, this low tow point along with the float shape, valve position and direction of tow have all been designed to reduce drag.
The Billy R28 Recycled Drybag Features & Specification:
The Billy R28 Recycled Drybag Float helps increase the safety of the swimmer and can carry items whilst swimming. It is light yet packed with useful features.
Each waist belt is 122cm max length. Moreover, two can be joined together if a longer belt is required. The leash (from float to waist belt) is 45cm Max.
NB: Finally, we recommend placing electronic items inside a waterproof bag, before placing them inside the drybag. Notwithstanding, Billy Drybags are not a lifesaving device and are designed to be used by competent swimmers. Tow floats are not designed to be continuously submerged.
