Ring buoys are ring-shaped flotation aids thrown to a victim to provide additional flotation and keep them above water until rescue arrives. They can be worn around the torso or a limb to reduce the effort needed to stay afloat and save energy for rescue efforts.

Rope bags for ring buoys contain lengths of coiled rope that can be attached to a ring buoy and allow them to be thrown to a victim and pulled back towards rescuers.

Foam flotation cushions are dual-purpose flotation aids that can serve as a soft seating surface when they are not being used as a flotation device.

Throw bags are lightweight bags containing an integrated rope that allows them to be thrown to a victim in the water and pulled back to safety.

Inflatable rescue batons are stick-shaped flotation aids thrown to a victim and inflated to provide additional buoyancy. They are smaller and easier to throw than a ring buoy and will automatically inflate upon contact with the water.
