What is a RESTUBE safety buoy?

RESTUBE safety buoy is a compact, reusable, inflatable safety buoy designed to be worn around the waist or attached to gear during water activities like swimming, surfing, or boating. It empowers individuals to self-rescue in water emergencies by inflating instantly via a manual pull-trigger (or automatic for rescue models) using a CO2 cartridge, providing immediate buoyancy.

Can I wear this is a USAT-sanctioned event?

RESTUBE safety buoys are legal for use in USAT‑sanctioned events as long as it is not inflated. If an athlete deploys (inflates) the device during a race, officials will determine the appropriate action at their discretion.

Who is RESTUBE safety buoy for?

Everyone, but we know fear of the open water is one of the biggest barriers to entry for triathlon. RESTUBE gives athletes the peace of mind to know they can self-rescue at any time should they need. This is the "bike helmet of swimming"; you hope to never need it, but it's there if you do.

For me, swimming in open water means freedom without limits. RESTUBE allows me to swim further and longer.

Loic Branda, Olympic swimmer

When I was stung by a jellyfish in the open sea, I knew I needed help as soon as possible. I used the safety buoy to attract attention and luckily a fishing boat spotted me straight away.

Pia

I can swim well, but as I'm epileptic, it's important for me to have a solution in case of an emergency. That's why I always have the RESTUBE safety buoy with me in the water!

Linda

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.

Josef Köberl, Ice Swimmer

Nathalie Pohl

Extreme swimmer & Ocean's Seven finisher

“Despite the escort boat, you swim out there alone. RESTUBE Safety Buoy 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."

Matheus Kozlowski

Triathlete

"Safety is important to me! During my training I rely on a small but vital product from RESTUBE in case of an emergency. I don't go into the water without my pocket-sized Safety Buoy! We wear helmets on the bike, don't we?"
