iSwimband - for your kid's safety and your peace of mind


Taking your young ones for a swimming session is really fun but also a very dangerous thing if you leave them unsupervised even for a shorter time. Drowning is the No.2 leading cause of accidental deaths which is a very sad statistic.

To tackle this threat iSwimband has been introduced Aquatic Safety Concepts. It’s a simple headband and wristband set that will notify you whenever your non-swimming kid/pet has entered the pool or if your swimmer has been submerged in the water for too long.

This tracking device connects to your smartphone via a dedicated app available for iOS at the moment. Android and Windows Phone version will be coming soon. You can customize the settings depending on who will wear the gadget. This device uses a low-power consuming wireless technology thus no draining your phone’s battery. The iSwimband is available for $99 via iSwimband Store.
