The official 2007 FRC swim rings are available for purchase at reduced pricing on the FIRST Store website.

It is the 2007 Rack n Roll game pieces that are for sale, but I guess outside of off seasons they are great swimming rings.


Thanks for the link.

Given how easily these things pop, is "Blow Out Pricing" really the best choice of words?

for teams that plan on hosting their own event in the summer/fall, id strongly suggest getting a good supply of these...

as most teams have figured out that are in the position of hosting an event.....the field DOES NOT come with tubes. You have to order your own, and once these things sell out, theyre not going to be available elsewhere.

if you are just finding this information out PM me or email me at mortgeek@gmail.com and ill tell you our tube calculations for an event and you can base your numbers on that!

1 Blue Ring with "FIRST" printed on it: $2.25
Shipping (FOR ONE RING!!!!!!): $10.67
TOTAL$12.92

OMG!!!!!!

Lame.

BTW for the whole set:
5 Rings (1 of each) $11.25
Shipping (for 5 rings) $10.67
TOTAL $21.92

No shipping break for buying one as opposed to all 5.

May as well just buy all 5 if thats the case.

Still kinda lame though.

Have you checked the price lately of shipping via UPS to residential addresses?

UPS quotes almost $10 to ship one pound from Manchester to a California residence, and not much less for eastern destinations, hence the high price given by the website. Maybe LogoLoc would be able to increase sales by finding a better shipping provider. (Fedex quotes less than $7 for the same.)

I bought 13 rings total and the shipping went up to almost $16

my original plan was to buy enough to fill up my entire pool..but that would of meant approximately 55 rings... and that was killer shipping.

I'm glad I waited until the post-season to get them since I wanted 5 blue keepers, and not nearly as many red keepers.

Guys, last I checked, these were not clasified for use as a flotation device. Don't use these in a pool.

The tube thinks differently:

As I recall, however, the ringers didn't even have that much printed.

That's lifesaving device. (A lot of inflateable pool toys have the "not a lifesaving device" on them.) Unless you can prove that they don't float, or can point us to where it says not to use them as flotation devices, leave it at what's printed on the tubes.

I was planning on using them for my summer pool party, where I plan to invite a whole bunch of FIRSTers...I thought it would be super cool to have a pool full of the keepers.

...They're still going in my pool =].
