Description

Marlin Tow Float – Open Water Swim Buoy & Waterproof Dry Bag

Stay seen. Stay dry. Swim with confidence.

The Marlin Tow Float is a versatile open water swimming buoy and waterproof dry bag designed to give swimmers greater visibility, added buoyancy and a secure place to carry essential kit while they swim.

Bright high-visibility orange construction helps make you more noticeable to boaters and other water users, while the inflatable air chamber provides a buoyant float to hold onto if you need to pause, catch your breath or chat with your swim buddies. It should not, however, be relied upon as a dedicated safety or rescue device.

Behind the inflatable chamber is a generous 22-litre waterproof dry compartment, giving you plenty of space to carry essentials such as clothing, keys, a phone or other small items while keeping them protected from water. The roll-top closure and high-quality welded seams create a secure, waterproof storage area for your outdoor adventures.

Designed for Open Water Swimming
The Marlin Tow Float is designed to sit behind you as you swim, providing low drag without interfering with your stroke. An adjustable leash and waist belt keep the float securely connected while allowing it to move naturally behind you.

The dual-purpose strap can also be configured as a shoulder strap, making the float easy to carry when you're out of the water.

Added Visibility & Emergency Whistle
Visibility is an important consideration when swimming outdoors. The Marlin's bright orange colour helps you stand out more clearly against the surrounding water, making it easier for other water users to see you.

For additional peace of mind, the float includes a high-visibility orange safety whistle, secured with strong cord and capable of producing a sound of 100+ decibels to help attract attention in an emergency. The whistle is buoyant, non-corrosive in seawater and meets ISO 12402-8 safety standards.

Take Your Essentials With You
With 22 litres of dry storage, the Marlin Tow Float doubles as a practical waterproof bag. Whether you're heading out for a short training swim or a longer self-supported adventure, you can keep essential items with you rather than leaving them on the shore.

The heavy-duty waterproof PVC construction, welded seams and roll-top closure help protect your belongings from moisture, while the lightweight design makes the float easy to transport between swims.

Compact When You're Done
Despite its generous capacity, the Marlin Tow Float packs down surprisingly small when deflated. At just 20 × 14cm when packed, it can easily be stored in a swim bag, car or travel luggage ready for your next adventure.

Ideal for open water swimming, triathlon, swim-run, SUP, surfing and other watersports, the Marlin Tow Float is a practical companion for anyone who wants to be more visible and keep their essentials close while enjoying the water.

Please note: The inflatable chamber provides buoyancy and can support an adult who needs to rest, but the Marlin Tow Float is not a certified personal flotation device or dedicated rescue device and should not be relied upon as one.
