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)
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. 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.

Amazon Customer•January 1, 2018
Works as advertised. Wife could see me from the dock on the lake 1/4 mile away, so visible to boats/wave runners. Don't even notice it strapped on the waist when swimming even with a wet suit on. Piece of mind for safety for yourself and the family. Can store your belongs on your swim. Breaks down and stores easy. You can even use it as an assisted floating to take breaks in open water as needed, but should not be relied upon as a sole flotation device.
Works great, keeps gear dry, adds safety, and is hardly noticable.
CJ•April 8, 2017
I recently swam 2 miles in La Jolla using this buoy. It kept my gear dry and protected and worked just like it should. I triple bagged my cell phone, which was unnecessary. Not a drop of water in my tightly rolled bag. My advice if you like to do point to point swims, is to pack shorts, T shirt, water, wallet, phone, shades, and Fit Rocks slim footwear that take up no space at all. They all fit great. The reason for 4 stars, is that in 4 foot waves, the belt quickly became so loose that it almost slipped off. My fix will be to tie a 6 inch piece of rope around the belt cincher, once it fits snug at your waist. This, or a couple of big safety pins would keep it from loosening.
... of these for a while and I am so glad that I finally did

I had been meaning to purchase one of these for a while and I am so glad that I finally did. I bought it for a trip to Bonaire where I planned to do some open water training. It was a rock entry, so I was able to wear my chacos into the water and then clip them to the belt while I swam. Even though they are rather large sandals they didn't bother me at all. My family appreciated being able to see me from so far away and I was able to swim with less fear about a boat not seeing me. The "dry" sack portion of the bag wasn't 100% dry, I found that some water snuck in. If I put electronics in there I will be sure to put them in another ziplock or dry bag beforehand. Regardless I highly recommend this product.
This works wonderfully for my open water swims

This works wonderfully for my open water swims. I can't ever tell that it's there. The strap doesn't get caught up in my legs. It stays inflated and although I havent used the folded over section to store anything, it always stays folded and seems like it would be secure.
A must for open water swims

This buoy has completely changed my triathlon training. I train in a pretty large lake but my swims were always cut short because I would be overcome with anxiety and panic. The first time I swam with my New Wave Swim Buoy I was able to swim DOUBLE the longest distance I have ever swam. I now train with confidence knowing that if i have a problem I have my buoy to grab onto. I also don't worry about getting hit by a boat or kayak because the bright color makes me easily visible. There is absolutely NO drag from the buoy. I cant feel it at all when I swim. I have placed my gps inside and it has remained completely dry for the entire swim. This is a great product because it is a very simple and inexpensive way to remain safe in the water.
