Engineered by swimmers for swimmers, the THEMAGIC5 Openwater Safety Buoy is built to elevate your training and protect every stroke. Inflation tube lets you fill the buoy to its full capacity for maximum stability and shape retention throughout your swim Brightest safety color ensures you are always visible to lifeguards, boats, and fellow swimmers while also acting as a personal floatation device in emergencies Dry bag compartment gives you a secure place to carry your essentials such as phone, keys, and nutrition without compromising performance Lightweight and drag-free design trails effortlessly behind you to preserve your technique and speed What truly sets this buoy apart is our adjustable waist belt. The adjustable waist belt features a custom-engineered hook made from corrosion-resistant titanium. Built for reliability in all conditions, the hook slides smoothly into the reinforced belt loops and locks into position for a secure, non-slip fit. Whether you’re swimming in calm water or racing in waves, the hook holds exactly where you need it—no slipping, no distractions. The idea behind this buoy came mid-race. While competing in the grueling Ultraswim 33.3 in Montenegro, THEMAGIC5 co-founder Niklas Hedegaard faced a constant distraction - his safety buoy’s belt kept slipping down, affecting his rhythm and focus. The experience sparked a redesign. Back in our lab, we engineered this solution in-house, redefining what a safety buoy should be.
