- WATERPROOF STORAGE – the 20L or 28L capacity can hold quite a few items whilst swimming, from car keys and mobile phones to items of clothing and foot wear. This keeps valuables safe as you will have them with you. The more you put in the smaller the air compartments will be, the fewer items the bigger they will be.
- EASY TO USE – the waist strap fits easily around any size waist (comfortably to 48inches) and is fully adjustable for a snug fit. The tether line provides a secure tow line and it does not get in the way while swimming. It is easy to inflate and deflate using the one-way valve for inflation then undoing the whole valve for rapid deflation. Simply put in your items, roll over the top 3-4 times, secure the clip, then inflate both chambers. It takes only a few seconds.

HUT – Amazon USA Tow Floats and Dry Bags.
HUT Swimkit is a brand driven by a passion for open and cold-water swimming. Having experienced the benefits of open water and cold-water swimming first hand and finding it difficult to source quality and good value products, we decided to make our own!
The HUT range of swim buoy dry bags and tow floats is there our journey began. They are made with tough, durable nylon with PVC coating they are completely waterproof making it safe to store your valuables when you swim. We have thoroughly tested these tow floats and dry bags in some pretty harsh conditions and they passed with flying colours each time. Use them in lakes, rivers or the ocean – they go wherever you go.
We have added other useful features too – all bags/floats have handy carry handles making them easy to transport, useful in SwimRun races and for hanging on to when you need a swim-break. Please note, they are not designed as safety devices, they are sighting aids that have extra benefits!
The colours are bright (very) and you can choose from neon pink, fluro orange and hi-viz green (or some may say yellow...maybe a mix of both!). Each float/buoy bag comes with an adjustable waist strap that is secured onto the bag by a tether and carabiner – it can be removed with ease.
The swim buoy dry bags have two air chambers, so if one fails (highly unlikely) you can rest assured that you have the second chamber to keep your valuable safe. The super bright colours can be seen from a very long way away keeping you safe from boats, jet-skis, surfers etc.
The swim buoy dry bags come with an emergency whistle built into the closing clip at the top of the bag, great for attracting attention should you need to. They also some in two sizes – 20L for small items (keys, phone, hat, t-shirt) or the larger 28L so you can fit in your shoes, clothes and valuables.
