Open Water Swim Buoy Float for Triathletes

Visibility in Open Water

The brightly-colored Xterra Wetsuits Swim Buoy is a crucial safety float designed to make you stand out to boaters, jet skis, paddlers, and surfers. With this buoy, visibility in murky waters is greatly improved, reducing the risk of being hit by a boat or jet ski.

Safe Place to Float and Rest

Thanks to its natural buoyancy, the Xterra Wetsuits Swim Buoy serves as a reliable temporary flotation device. In case of muscle cramps or if you need a moment of rest, you can easily grab the buoy for support. This feature offers reassurance and comfort during your open water swim.

Lightweight and Convenient

The buoy is ultra-light (only 10 oz), making it a convenient addition to any paddleboard or kayak trip. Though it does not replace a PFD (personal flotation device) or a swim life vest, the buoy's lightweight design ensures it won't hinder your refreshing swim workout in open water.

Add a Light or Blinker for Increased Visibility

Enhance your safety further by adding a light or blinker inside the buoy. This feature is especially useful for night swimming or when visibility is low. Swim with a friend to increase safety and enjoyment.

Personal Item Storage

The Xterra Wetsuits Swim Buoy also functions as a practical storage solution for personal items. Fastened to your waist by a belt with a tether line, the buoy features a drybag storage compartment separate from the inflatable air chamber. Athletes often store items like sunglasses, sunscreen, body glide, extra caps and goggles, clothes, diving masks, snorkels, and waterproof cameras or phones.

Improved Monitoring and Safety

The buoy is invaluable for monitoring athletes during swim events. Spectators, officials, and lifeguards can quickly spot swimmers using this buoy, ensuring better supervision and safety. Stay visible in the waves with your new swim buoy, enhancing your overall swimming experience.
