Stay safe when swimming in the dark

With the days drawing in and the number of daylight hours decreasing, many of us are soon to find our regular swimming hours taking place without the sun. Whilst swimming in the dark naturally carries additional risks, rather than retiring outdoor swimming until the spring, planning ahead can make for an experience unlike any other.

A shortlist of must have safety items

A brightly coloured high visibility inflatable dry bag with leash and waist belt. Ideal for storing kit, keys and phone whilst you swim. For increased visibility and added peace of mind in open water. This inflatable dry bag will easily support an adult's weight if you need to rest.

The Adventure Swim Lights Guardian Tag-It is the most durable safety light available on the market. 

The mini carabiner makes it easy to attach the light to other products. The light is operated by twisting the domed lens, easy to do even with chilly fingers. 

The Swim Secure Safety Whistle is a small but vital piece of any open water swimmer’s kit. Draws attention to yourself or others in an emergency.

Simply clip it on your waist belt over a double layer and it is easily accessible.
