New Wave Swim Buoy Swim Safety Float and Drybag for Open Water Swimmers, Triathletes, Kayakers and Snorkelers, Highly Visible Buoy Float for Safe Swim Training (Orange PVC Medium-15L)

About This

• Visibility in Open Water. The brightly-colored New Wave Swim Buoy is exceptionally noticeable to boaters, jet skis, paddlers, surfers and some say, can be visible from space. 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 harbour seal.
• Safe Place to Float and Rest. Because of the natural buoyancy, the New Wave Swim buoy 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 paddle board 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, iPod… What would you take with you on a water-journey?
• Improved Monitoring of Athletes. If you want to keep an eye on your buddies or loved ones, 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. If you put your cell phone in a Ziploc bag, you can have your phone sharing your GPS location via MapMyRun or RunKeeper or Garmin Connect apps too to track exactly how far you swam AND to broadcast your location in the water.

The New Wave Swim Buoy is also offered in two size options, 15 Liter and 20 Liter. Our Swim Buoy comes in two incredible durable and hyper visible materials, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). The TPU material is UV resistant, puncture resistant, and the color will not fade after repeated exposure to chemicals and the sun's harmful rays. Attached to the waist with a nylon web belt, New Wave Swim Buoy is pulled behind the swimmer, and can also be used to float or rest. The New Wave Swim Buoy contains a compartment separate from the inflation chamber for storage of personal items (snacks, wallet, keys, spare goggles, cell phone, camera, etc.).

• I finally had a chance to use the "New Wave Swim Buoy - Med (15 liter) PVC Fluo Green" that I bought, directly from New Wave Swim Bouo, a few weeks ago. AND I LOVE IT! It's great for swimming freestyle in open water with its super fluorescent color. Lifeguard, loved ones and ANYONE can see me from ashore regardless how far I'm out. It's a WONDERFUL added water safety device. I bought the kind where I can put items (keys, wallet, phone, etc) inside it too! It inflates and deflates in a snap! And if you want to take a break from swimming, you can hold onto to the buoy and relax. Overall, I absolutely love my "New Wave Swim Buoy". I highly recommend to anyone and everyone! ~ Lisah
• Since all the pools have been closed, my sister and I swim in this huge estuary several times per week. Other swimmers have found this spot, too, and many of them have swim buoys. We realized we needed visibility, too, for our safety and our fellow swimmers. I researched and New Wave got top ratings. We got the buoy with storage so our keys can come with us (no more hiding them on the beach). Like the reviews said, little to no drag, even in chop, easy to inflate, and very durable thus far. ~ Jef Danhar
• My open-water swim (OWS) group strongly urges swimmers to use a tow float, and it's made the swims so much less worrisome. You can see and keep track of swimmers all across the lake. The swimmers with New Wave Swim Buoys are another level of visibility entirely. No one has complained of a puncture or other problems yet, and when we give new swimmers loaners, they're surprised by how little they notice them. I'd actually recommend the standard buoy over the bubble. Not that there's a single thing wrong with the bubble, but neither is noticeable while swimming, and it's not much extra money to have the dry-bag option. ~ Ashley Crocker
