rescue tube
Red buoyant cylinder
A rescue tube is a long, buoyant foam cylinder used by lifeguards to reach and support swimmers in distress.
The guard swims out with the tube strapped across the chest, then wraps it around the victim to keep them afloat during the return to shore: She grabbed the rescue tube and sprinted toward the water.
