Open Water Swim Safety Float for Triathletes and Kayakers (Orange, Large)

Everything Explained

Visibility in Open Water The brightly-colored New Wave Swim Buoy is exceptionally noticeable to boaters, jet skis, paddlers, and even some claim it’s visible from space. Improve your visibility and avoid getting hit by a jet ski or speed boat. Swimmers in black wetsuits are virtually invisible in murky waters like Loch Ness Lake – the New Wave Swim Buoy will make you prominently visible, even to the Loch Ness Monster!

Safe Place to Float and Rest Thanks to its natural buoyancy, the New Wave Swim Buoy can serve as a flotation device. It ensures you’re safe and comfortable if you cramp up or need a rest. Whether you're on a paddle board or kayaking trip, the buoy is very lightweight (only 10 oz) and won’t weigh you down. The New Wave Swim Buoy doesn't replace a personal floatation device (PFD) or a swim life vest but is ideal for a refreshing swim workout in open water. Add a bike blinker inside the float, and your visibility quadruples or even quintuples!

Storage of Personal Items The New Wave Swim Buoy is perfect for point-to-point swims. The storage compartment, separate from the inflatable air chamber, holds all your essentials. Athletes store sunglasses, sunscreen, body glide, extra caps and goggles, running shoes, socks, clothing, diving masks, snorkels, cameras, and water shoes. You can also bring your cell phone in a Ziploc bag to track your location using apps like MapMyRun, RunKeeper, or Garmin Connect.

Improved Monitoring of Athletes Whether a spectator, official, or lifeguard, the New Wave Swim Buoy makes it easier to monitor swimmers from a distance. Place your phone in a Ziploc bag and use it to share your GPS location, ensuring safety and peace of mind for everyone involved.
