THEMAGIC5 Upgrades

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.
