Description of New Wave Swim Buoy: Ultimate Safety Float & Drybag for Open Water Activities - Perfect for Swimmers, Triathletes, Kayakers, Snorkelers (15L, Pink)

Visibility in Open Water. The brightly-colored Swim Buoy is a swimming safety float that exceptionally visible to boaters, jet skis, paddlers, and surfers. Improve your visibility to avoid getting decapitated by a jet ski or a speed boat. Swimmers in black wetsuits are virtually invisible in the open water - New Wave Swim Buoy will display your prominently in the murky waters of the Loch Ness Lake - even the Loch Ness Monster will not confuse you for a tasty harbor seal. Safe Place to Float and Rest. Because of the natural buoyancy, the New Wave swimming safety float can be used as a flotation device. You have reassurance that in case you cramp up or simply need rest, you are able to grab the float. Very light to bring with you on a paddleboard or kayak trip. While the New Wave Swim Buoy does not replace personal floatation device (PFD) or a swim life vest, widely used by kayakers and standup paddle boarders (SUP's), the New Wave Swim Buoy is very lightweight (only 10 oz) to bring along for a refreshing swim workout in the open water. Add a bike blinker inside the float and your aqua-visibility quadruples or maybe even quintuples. Storage of Personal Items. The New Wave Swim Buoy is useful in point to point swims. Fastened to your waist by a belt with a tether line, the New Wave Swim Buoy has a storage compartment that is separate from the Inflatable Air Chamber. What do our athletes put in the buoy? Sunglasses, sunscreen, body glide, extra cap and goggles, running shoes, socks and clothes, diving mask, snorkel, camera, water shoes. What would you take with you on a water-journey?. Improved Monitoring of Athletes. If you want to keep an eye on your swim buddies or make sure that other swimmers are still in the race, spectators, officials, and lifeguards alike will appreciate the ability to see the swimmers from afar with the New Wave swimming safety float. If you put your cell phone in a waterproof phone pouch, you can have your phone sharing your GPS location too to track exactly how far you swam AND to broadcast your location in the water.

No more fear of rowing and sailing

A few days ago I practiced with my new buoy and it was just what I needed. It doesn't bother you at all when you're swimming, but it's always there when you need it for a break. I bought Wednesday. I'm 5ft 4in, 160lbs and he held me perfectly. The inside gets a little wet so don't put your phone inside unless you have it in a separate waterproof case. I was so nervous before my first outdoor race. Now I feel more comfortable because I will have my buoy with me.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

A friend has the same yellow New Wave Swim Buoy and I love that we swim in different colors.

It serves the purpose of letting people know where I am. However, the air does not seem to hold and the water seeps out a bit. A friend has the same yellow New Wave Swim Buoy and I love that we have different colors when we swim in the lake together. Your buoy will not let water or air through. I would give it 5 stars if mine wasn't leaking a little air/water.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Some problems

Good product! Highly recommended!

I love this item! I'm working on a 2 mile open water swim and I always get nervous when I can't touch the bottom. I'm a good swimmer and always have been, but open water is very different from a pool. My first swim in it and I felt 100x better knowing everyone could see me, I could hold on if needed and he was holding my Garmin watch so I could track distance! (This is not a swim watch but I needed a better understanding of the distance). I'm sooooo glad I bought this!

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Visible and effective

I have used it once in open water so far and it has worked. The pink neon is very bright and although it looks a little smaller than expected, I was able to hold on to it and rest on it quite well. One thing that was disappointing, hence the 4 stars, is the so-called waterproof bag. Unfortunately I still have some water. I didn't even feel his affection during the swim and it was nice to have something to hold onto in case I needed to catch my breath. The seller is excellent, everything came…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Some minor things

I was reluctant to buy this buoy because out of respect I prefer to swim in open water without such loads my incredible slow (although I'm regularly 2 miles better) speed on the water I succumbed to peer pressure, other swimmers demanded I buy this so they could see my bouncy body on the surging waves and got it from Revain Now I have I won't swim without them!It not only reassures my comrades who can see this thing from a great distance but also gives me the opportunity to wear things I covet…
