WIN one of eight Tekrapod prizes

We are offering readers the chance to win one of five Tekrapods (worth €135 each) PLUS we have three £50 vouchers up for grabs.

Tekrapod provides a new approach to swimmer safety. It is worn as a small, close-fitting backpack that you forget is there. It is inactive until needed, but once you’ve pulled the toggle and inflated it, it sends an unambiguous signal that you need assistance. The float can easily be detached and passed to another swimmer in need, while avoiding the risk of having to approach too closely.
