Redefine safety in open water
SwimTech is the first swimsuit with an integrated airbag. Performant every day, vital when it counts.
Our approach
Made for open water
Open water offers a unique experience.
The silence. The distance. The freedom to swim farther.
Designed for swimmers in rivers, lakes, seas and oceans. Swimtech supports those who see swimming as much more than a sport: a moment of balance, of pursuing adventures, and of connecting with the environment.
Designed for training, long distances, and everyday swims, the swimsuit combines freedom of movement, comfort, and built-in protection—without compromising the swimming experience.
The reality
Freedom should never come at the expense of safety
But when swimming in open water, conditions can change in a matter of seconds: fatigue, cold, currents, the unexpected.
Every year, 20'000 people drown in Europe. More than 300,000 worldwide
SwimTech was born from a simple conviction:
safety should be a natural part of the swimming experience, without constraints, without compromise, without limiting freedom.
The product
The SwimTech solution
SwimTech is the first swimsuit to integrate an airbag system. In difficulty, a simple pull on the lever inflates it within seconds, keeping you in a stable position with your head above water. Without activation, it performs like any high-performance swimsuit.
01
Activation
In distress, grip the side lever and pull firmly. The system activates instantly. No complex steps, no additional equipment. A single action, designed to work even under stress.
02
Float
The suit inflates in under a second, keeping you in a stable position with your head above water. You remain visible at the surface and can catch your breath while waiting for rescue or making your way back to shore.
03
Back to shore
When distress is overcome, you can partially deflate the suit by pressing the cartridge button and make it to the shore with increased buoyancy.
04
Reset
Once on land, press the cartridge button to deflate the suit entirely. The used cartridge is unscrewed and replaced with a new one. Your suit is ready for the next outing.
