The Ultimate TYR Inflatable Pullfloat: Enhanced Support and Versatility Review

The product has been successfully inflated/used 6-8 times in 6 months - the circle only floats when traveling. It's easy to pack, easy to inflate and very easy to deflate/pack - I really liked it. Yesterday I fell off (deflated) at the seam. I would not recommend this product to any serious swimmer (and I have used it minimally). Believe me, it needs a redesign to offer stronger stitching all around.

This product has holes and will become unusable after a short period of time. I bought one and used it for six months then it developed a hole and stopped holding air. I have another one and this one lasted even less time. The design has flaws because if you squeeze while holding the item between your thighs, it can't stand the pressure and soon starts to leak. This is a good idea as it packs up nicely and fits in your gym bag. But the seams are too cheap and thin and the air doesn't last long.

Love this buoy! I'm lazy and have a bad disguise, so I liked to pull while swimming. I also travel a lot so it's very handy to pack. It takes a full long stroke to inflate, two at most. The only reason I don't use it anymore is because I stopped using buoys altogether. I recently trained with coach Gary Hall Sr. who corrected/improved my swimming and said he wouldn't recommend the pull. The guy is an Olympian and after the first lesson with me my swimming got a lot better so I'll listen to him…
