The innovative new USCG-approved LIFE RING™ buoy was a standout topic at the 2024 Wyoming Recreation and Parks Association (WRPA) Annual Conference, held in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The LIFE RING, developed and marketed by eLifeguard.com, garnered significant attention for its advanced water safety features, Lifeguard Times reports.
eLifeguard.com, a global leader in water safety and rescue equipment based in Rockledge, Florida, has been in operation for over 25 years. The company collaborated with the US Coast Guard (USCG) for several years to ensure the LIFE RING meets and exceeds safety regulations for lifesaving devices.
Unlike traditional vinyl-dipped buoy models, the LIFE RING is made from closed-cell foam that resists absorbing water or bodily fluids, even if punctured. It also features a patented LIFE GRIPS™ technology, making it easier to grab and hold onto during rescues—an innovation that sets it apart from older models known for cracking, fading, and other durability issues. This feature was first introduced in eLifeguard.com’s LIFE™ Rescue Tube, which has become a standard tool for lifeguards worldwide.
The LIFE RING is designed for a wide range of uses, including at commercial and residential swimming pools, beaches, lakes, camps, and on watercraft.
