SEE RESCUE TUBES IN ACTION

According to the World Health Organization:  

​

  • Drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional deaths

  • There were over 370,000 drowning deaths in 2012 alone

  • Drownings account for 7% of all injury deaths

​

At the Rescue Tube Foundation, we responded to this problem by developing a system to help reduce these unnecessary deaths. In 2008, we began placing Rescue Tubes on the beaches of Hawaii. Soon, our efforts expanded to the U.S. mainland. ​Our Rescue Tubes are designed to be available for anyone to use and protect themselves while they attempt to help a swimmer in distress. 

The Rescue Tube Foundation is dedicated to lowering the number of drowning deaths around the world by providing Rescue Tubes to protect rescuers at water recreational locations.
