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 (20 Liter - Large)
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.

Worth it for if you ever get into trouble.

Works well, 195LB male. Got the Large 20L just to make sure. Doesn't get in the way with or without a wetsuit.

A must have for open water swimmers
Sabrina•May 15, 2017
I'm an open water swimmer who easily spends 1 to 2 hours in the ocean. I mostly swim alone. I tried another brand (I can't remember name) and noticed that it seemed to deflate pretty easy while I was swimming. The nozzle was also hard to undo haver a swim. I don't have that problem with my New Wave swim buoy. The nozzle turns easily, even with hypothermic fingers, and it holds the air pretty good. There is also a bit of deflation, but nothing drastic like with the other one.
I opted for the larger size because I needed more space in my dry bag and it offered increased visibility. I hold my phone, wallet, keys, water bottle, and gel packs inside with room to spare. One can open the dry bag up while treading water, but it's a bit tricky, especially in choppy water. Waves have a tendency to throw themselves inside the bag. So I always keep my phone in a water proof plastic case and my wallet and keys in zip lock bags. This is only an issue if you know you'll be opening the dry bag in the water. Otherwise, everything stays dry.
I'd love to see them make a swim buoy that allows for easy access to the dry bag. Or even two separate compartments, so a swimmer can get to their water and gel packs without worrying about phones and such.

Good Visibility in Open Water and Great Product

I always swim with a buoy. My older swim buoy from another company began to leak, so I have ordered 2 of these New Wave swim buoys. I like these much better - nicer colors and a much better nozzle with a twist instead of a cap.
I use this mainly as a dry bag for my car keys but it is a good float and I cannot even feel any drag when I swim.

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 (Green PVC Large 20 Liter) Excellent product. Perfect for open water swim. It holds you up, stores keys or other valuables, and you cannot even feel it when you are swimming. Practically zero resistance. For the storage compartment, I would recommend a waterproof container to put your things in, then put the container in the storage area of the swim buoy. Great idea and excellent product.
