Alpine SwimSafe

Hearing protection for swimming

Winner Red Dot Award 2015

Alpine Hearing Protection has won the Red Dot Award 2015 for the design of its latest earplugs. The jury of this prestigious design price applauded the “high quality and the innovative ability” of the earplugs.

Revolutionary earplug model

Twenty years of experience have allowed Alpine to develop a perfect new earplug model. The extremely well thought-out and extensively tested shape of the earplugs, provides a natural flat absorption and a prefect fit.

AlpineAcousticFilters™ – Say no to water & yes to sound

The special acoustic filters in SwimSafe earplugs ensure that all ambient sounds remain as audible as possible. These unique filters also ensure you can still follow conversations. A small duct in the filters prevents a sense of isolation and the shape of the hearing protection prevents water getting into your ears. SwimSafe earplugs are unsuitable for deep diving. We advise using the hearing protection at a depth of no more than 1 metre under water.

AlpineThermoShape™ material

Alpine’s innovative earplugs are made from thermoplastic material especially developed by Alpine: AlpineThermoShape. This material adapts to the shape of the ears so that the earplugs fit the auditory ducts perfectly. You are guaranteed a comfortable fit without unpleasant pressure on your ears. You are assured that the earplugs remain in the right position, providing optimal noise attenuation. ATS contains no silicone, thus causing no allergic reactions.

Alpine Miniboxx

In addition to the easy-to-use storage container, every SwimSafe pack also contains a trendy Alpine Miniboxx. You can take this super-handy little storage container to the swimming pool and attach it to your swimming bag, or around your wrist when you go into the water. The Miniboxx can also be attached to your wetsuit.

Lifespan and cleaning

The lifespan of the earplugs depends on frequency of use. Keeping the earplugs clean will extend the lifespan. The earplugs can be cleaned with lukewarm water and soap.

Dutch Design

The design of the Alpine hearing protectors is an exclusive Dutch Design. All earplugs and filter systems are produced in the Netherlands.

How to insert SwimSafe earplugs

To insert the protectors, use the enclosed insertion tube. Slide the tube over the filter stem.
Slightly pull up your ear and insert the hearing protector into the ear.
Rotate the insertion tube until the protector fits snugly.
Carefully remove the tube from the earplug.

Is the earplug too long?

The earplug may protrude from your ear. In that case, carefully remove the filter from the earplug.
Then cut off a small section of the stem and replace the filter in the earplug.

How to clean SwimSafe earplugs? Alpine SwimSafe earplugs last longer if you look after them and clean them regularly.
