Safety Swim Buoy for Open Water - Lightweight & Visible - Nylon TPU

Visibility in Open Water

The brightly-colored New Wave Swim Buoy is exceptionally noticeable to boaters, jet skis, paddlers, and surfers. Some claim it’s even visible from space. This buoy enhances your visibility, reducing the risk of being hit by a speeding jet ski or boat. For swimmers in black wetsuits, who are virtually invisible in murky waters, the New Wave Swim Buoy ensures you stand out prominently—making you easily distinguishable to even the Loch Ness Monster, preventing it from mistaking you for a tasty harbor seal.

Safe Place to Float and Rest

Designed with natural buoyancy, the New Wave Swim Buoy serves as a secure flotation device. Should you experience muscle cramps or require a quick rest, you can easily grip the float for comfort. Lightweight and perfect for paddle boarding or kayaking, the buoy weighs only 10 oz, making it an ideal companion for refreshing open-water swims.

Lightweight and Versatile

The New Wave Swim Buoy is extremely light and easy to carry, whether you're packing for a paddle board or kayak trip. While it doesn't replace a personal flotation device (PFD) or swim life vest, it adds a layer of safety and convenience. Enhance your visibility even more by incorporating a bike blinder inside the float—your aqua-visibility could easily quadruple or quintuple.

Storage for Personal Items

The buoy also functions as a practical storage solution during point-to-point swims. Safety and convenience are ensured with a tether line and belt that fasten around your waist, securing a storage compartment separate from the inflatable air chamber. Athletes use this space for items like sunglasses, sunscreen, body glide, extra caps and goggles, running shoes, socks, clothes, diving masks, snorkels, cameras, water shoes, and iPods. The possibilities are endless!

Enhanced Monitoring and Safety

For those who want to monitor their buddies, loved ones, or other swimmers in a race, the New Wave Swim Buoy offers clear visibility. Spectators, officials, and lifeguards can easily spot the buoys from a distance, ensuring everyone's safety. By placing your cell phone in a waterproof bag, you can track your location using apps like MapMyRun, RunKeeper, or Garmin Connect, keeping your every move visible and secure.
