New Wave Swim Buoy for Open Water Swimmers and Triathletes - Light and Visible Float for Safe Training and Racing (20L)
Key features
- •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.
- •Safe Place to Float and Rest. Because of the natural buoyancy, the New Wave Swimm 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, book, snacks, water, gels, cash, credit cards, insurance card, car keys, cell phone, heart-rate monitor, asthma inhaler or allergy medicine, survival kit or a first-aid medical kit, and this list can go on. 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 (just in case water was to get into the storage compartment), 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 for your friends to monitor the progress of your swim remotely.

Great tool for open water swimming
Alan F. Smith✓ Verified Purchase•March 24, 2018
Great tool for open water swimming. Makes me feel safer for many reasons including not leaving my car keys on the beach while swimming. Had an issue with the first bag they sent me and New Waver responded immediately and made it more than right. Excellent customer service! Thank you
but it seems like that should work pretty well too

I don't do open water swims without it, now. Gives me confidence that other people will see me from a distance. I haven't really made much use of the ability to store things inside, but it seems like that should work pretty well too.
The best purchase of the summer!
Carmen Guzman Lowrey✓ Verified Purchase•July 5, 2017
Terrific! My family and I concluded that this was the best purchase of the summer (!) as I love swimming in our lake and it provided everyone the comfort that I would be highly visible both by them from shore and most importantly by the occasion boat. Great great value for the security it provides. Side storage pocket is a real bonus. Works perfectly and high quality.
Love this thing

Love this thing. Gives me confidence in open water swims. First, boats and jet skis can see me, second, if I cramp up or get fatigued, I always have the option of hanging onto that buoy for a moment. I wouldn't go out without it.
Very helpful

I am using the buoy to get me used to open water swim. I believe it is not a substitute for swimming with a buddy but it is very convenient providing a place to rest and more visibility . It does not impede normal swimming.
