Swim Secure - Be Safe, Be Seen
I have noticed an increasing amount of my customers are taking to the water outside, all around the country and I must say I really do admire your resilience.
I did start sea swimming in 2021, in the Solent. I managed to keep going until November but if I’m really honest it did start to get a bit too cold. (The last time I went I was barely able to get my thermal gloves off) So I have decided to take a break until March.
With the increasing popularity of open water swimming, Fine Saratoga received lots of enquiries about open water swimming products. Essential kit like tow floats, dry bags & bobble hats
I don't like to let my customers down & now, as a result of this....
Fine Saratoga is a proud Swim Secure stockist.

Here is my guide to the most popular Swim Secure items & more importantly, the essential pieces of kit.
Tow Float
Perfect for increasing visibility in the water, the tow float is pulled behind the swimmer on a short leash.
Swim Secure have a lightweight classic tow float, available in high visibility orange or pink.
The Tow Donut is also a lightweight float but has the added advantage of an integrated dry bag pouch. The small dry bag sits in the centre of the donut, out of the water, and is perfect for small items such as car keys and phone.
If you are looking or something a bit larger, then the Swim Secure Tow Float PRO might be more suited to your requirements. Perfect for open water swimming where extra visibility is critical. Larger than the classic tow float, the PRO features a perimeter grab rope making this float ideal for pairs or groups. The hydrodynamic shape minimises drag while optimising lateral visibility.
Dry Bag
If you are swimming and are unable to leave your possessions in a safe place, or maybe you’re swimming and want to carry all your kit, then a Swim Secure dry bag would be more suitable for you.
A brightly coloured high visibility inflatable dry bag with leash and waist belt. Ideal for storing kit whilst you swim and for increased visibility in open water.
All Swim Secure inflatable dry bags will easily support an adult's weight if you need to rest. Highly recommended for open water swimmers in all outdoor conditions.
Small (20 litre) / Medium (28 litre) / Large (35 litre) / XL (50 litre) sizes available in orange
28 Litre also available in Pink, Citrus and Phone Window options
Brightly Coloured Swim Cap
Swim Secure have a great bubble swim cap. The silicone Bubble Swim hat has been designed with open water swimmers in mind. The bubble design allows an added layer of insulation and the silicone material allows extra stretch for larger heads or lots of hair.
Available in 4 bright colours to keep you visible in water – pink, orange,yellow & green.
Waterproof Phone Pouch
Maybe you have all the essentials and are really enjoying your open water swimming. I follow lots of wild swimmers on Instagram and really enjoying seeing photos that have been taken during a swim.
(If you are on Insta, please reply to this email with your Insta handle & I will give you a follow. I’m @finesaratoga if you would like to give me a follow 😎)
Swim Secure have 2 waterprof phone cases which are ideal if you want to swim and snap away at the same time. The Swim Secure protective phone bag & the Swim Secure multi use waterproof bag.
The multi use waterproof bag has the added advantage of having been tested to IPX8 standards meaning it is suitable for continuous immersion in depths over one metre when used correctly.
These products are all fantastic at help keeping you safe and visible whilst you swim, but I really do want to tell you about what I personally think is Swim Secure’s biggest selling product.
Yes, it has to be the Bobble Hat! Who doesn’t love a bobble hat? These are fleece lined and super cosy – I know – my customers are always so happy to tell me how pleased they are with theirs 😊
In 2 great colours – pink purple or red/white/blue these are perfect for swim or post swim and they really put a smile on peoples faces.
