Ocean bag

Do you know someone who loves swimming in the salty sea? Maybe even do it competitively? Then you can spoil them with a gift they're sure to love. After all, we all know how nice it is to receive a gift that has been selected specifically for us and our hobbies - such as triathlon and open water equipment.

Sea bag

Find the original sea bag in a great orange or pink colour below. With safety, visibility, and practicality in mind, a buoy like this is almost a must for any open water swimmer - because whether you're a triathlon athlete (one of the best or just like to swim in the open water), there's just nothing you can do if the motorboat hasn't seen you. With this sea bag, you'll always be on the safe side while enjoying a number of practical benefits - such as keeping your phone, keys, and wallet with you in the bag on your swim.

Why do you need a sea bag?

There are four main reasons why you shouldn't swim in open water without a sea bag. It makes you more visible and safer, but it also gives you a much more comfortable swim. It also works well as a resting cushion in the middle of the ocean if you need a short break.

1. Make yourself more visible
   It's no wonder that these sea bags are made in bright and colourful colours such as pink and orange. These two colours are incredibly easy to see - even from a long distance and at high speeds. This means that people on the beach can see you, and boats, jet skis and kayaks will also be able to spot you in the water, preventing the worst-case scenario of fatalities that we've unfortunately seen before
   
2. Make yourself safer
   Based on the facts above, the increased visibility also means you'll be much safer in the water. But also the fact that you can bring your phone on your swim means that in the event of an accident or other dangerous situations, you can call 112 and others. It's a great safety feature for all open water swimmers
   
3. Allows you to rest on the water
   When inflated, the bag floats on top of the water. This allows you to “support” it during the swim, giving you a chance for a short rest. Something that is otherwise impossible when swimming out at sea
   
4. Avoid unexpected surprises at the beach
   As this sea bag has a relatively large waterproof pocket, there is room to store valuables such as phones, wallets and keys, but also regular clothes or towels. All this without getting wet. This way you avoid having your things lying on the beach while you're out swimming. Something that has resulted in many unexpected surprises in the past when you've returned from a nice swim in the open water and your stuff is gone…
   

Has this made you more inclined to get a sea bag?

Buoyancy in the water

With a sea bag in the water, in addition to visibility to others and a portable bag for all your belongings, you add buoyancy during the swim itself.

Swimming in open water is more challenging than swimming in, for example, a swimming pool. In open water, you can't control the wind and water. The waves and currents can be a bit of a challenge compared to the still water of a swimming pool. The sea bag provides buoyancy in the water, making it easier for you to stay afloat. The inflatability of the bag makes it easier and safer to swim and navigate in open water.
