How are swimming rings and lifebuoys different

Many people often hear people talk about swimming rings and lifebuoys, but they cannot distinguish the difference between the two. Aren't they both "rings"? That's right, but although they are all circles, the difference between them is not just one or two points. Not to mention the price, the materials and uses are vastly different. What is the difference between a swimming ring and a lifebuoy?

As the name suggests, a general swimming venue must be equipped with various life-saving equipment. Among them, lifebuoys and swim rings are accessories that we need for safety reasons during swimming. Both are mainly used to reduce safety hazards. So what is the difference between swim rings and life rings?

Swimming ring: It is made of ordinary materials, and the commonly seen inflatable swimming ring on the market is mainly used by citizens when swimming and playing. This type of swimming ring should not be in contact with sharp objects to avoid air leakage and affect use. At the same time, it is used in seaside and rapids. If the time is too long, the swimming ring will slowly leak air. Friends who have used inflatable swimming rings should know that after swimming, the swimming ring is not just full of air and is a bit soft, which is air leakage. Therefore, we need to inflate it in a timely manner to ensure swimming safety.

Lifebuoy: The life buoy specially used for swimming is made of high-density PVC closed cell foam as a buoyancy material, which has the functions of high temperature resistance, no shrinkage, no fracture, durability and anti-aging. The special life buoy meets the international standards. The appearance of this life buoy is orange and red, and has four reflective strips, so that the drowning person can find the life buoy effectively and timely. It is very suitable for many swimming pools and large waters.

The above is the difference between a swim ring and a lifebuoy. Most citizens use a swim ring when swimming in a swimming pool, which is obvious to everyone. In formal swimming places, inflatable swim rings can be used. However, if we choose a dedicated lifebuoy for swimming and playing at the beach, swimming is more reassuring. After all, the depth of the beach is shallow, and even if the water is good, do not make the decision to be brave and adventurous. You should wear a lifebuoy or a life jacket to play.

Regular swimming pool venues will be equipped with dedicated lifeguards, who have a better understanding of the depth of the pool water and reduce swimming safety hazards.
