Open water swimming can often bring sudden problems such as cramps or adverse currents. The SECUMAR FREE 100 lifesaver provides a safety net for paddlers and swimmers and that would like to be safe in the water. The SECUMAR FREE 100 looks like a waist belt/ bum bag but has an inflatable bladder neatly folded into it. Tests have shown that it barely inhibits swimming or arm movement. However, in case of emergency, the bladder can easily be pulled out of its pouch and placed directly over the head, the CO2 cylinder is then manually operated, inflating the lifejacket thereby stabilising the lifejacket and the person in trouble.

This type of lifesaver is already extremely popular on the other side of the Atlantic and is the most used in the USA. Although 150N and 275N class are more suitable for the majority of watersport activities, the SECUMAR FREE 100 is a great back-up system for local inshore use as well of course for swimmers, stand-up paddleboarders or surfers, the lifejacket being contained in the waist belt, leaving the upper body completely free.
