A throwbag is a rescue device with a length of rope stuffed loosely into a bag so it can pay out through the top when the bag is thrown to a swimmer.

  • In a "Clavey throwbag", the bottom of the bag as a grab loop for the swimmer to hold on to.
  • The "BlueWater mesh throwbag" has a small mesh to let the rope dry quickly.
