Open Water Swim Buoy for Swimmers and Triathletes

Visibility in Open Water, a Safe Place to Float and Rest, and Storage for Personal Items - The New Wave Swim Buoy Offers It All

The New Wave Swim Buoy is a brightly colored, lightweight, and inflatable flotation device with a waist belt that visibly floats behind a swimmer in open bodies of water. This makes the swimmer more visible to lifeguards, boaters, and other open water vehicles, enhancing safety and awareness.

Beyond its visibility, the New Wave Swim Buoy can also be used as a flotation device, providing a safe place for swimmers to rest or calm distressed individuals. Importantly, it does not interfere with the swimming motion, allowing for unhindered movement in the water.

One of the key features of the New Wave Swim Buoy is its storage compartment. The medium (15L) buoy size can hold smaller items such as a wallet and keys, while the large (20L) buoy size can accommodate larger items like shoes and clothing. This means swimmers no longer need to leave their valuables behind on the beach, making the New Wave Swim Buoy an ideal companion for open water swimmers, triathletes, and anyone else who would benefit from added confidence in the water.

The buoy is made of high-performance, durable TPU-coated Nylon fabric, which offers enhanced tear and abrasion strength, and is unaffected by sunscreen oils and chemicals like chlorine. Unlike conventional swim buoys made of PVC fabric, the TPU-coated Nylon fabric is also resistant to degradation from outdoor exposure to bacteria and UV solar radiation, making it a more sustainable and long-lasting option.

The large (26" x 12") New Wave Swim Buoy has a capacity of 20L, making it suitable for swimmers over 190 pounds. Its bright color and large size ensure exceptional visibility in open water, making it easy for boaters, jet skis, paddlers, and surfers to spot. Some even claim it can be seen from space, providing an added layer of safety for swimmers.

The buoy's natural buoyancy allows it to be used as a flotation device, offering swimmers the reassurance that they can grab the float in case of cramps or if they simply need to rest. Its lightweight design (only 10 oz) also makes it easy to bring along on paddle board or kayak trips, complementing personal floatation devices (PFDs) and swim life vests commonly used by water sports enthusiasts.

For athletes and event organizers, the New Wave Swim Buoy's visibility can be further enhanced by adding a bike blinker inside the float, quadrupling or even quintupling the swimmer's aqua-visibility. Additionally, by placing a phone in a Ziploc bag inside the buoy, swimmers can share their GPS location via apps like MapMyRun, RunKeeper, or Garmin Connect, allowing spectators, officials, and lifeguards to track their progress and location in the water.

In summary, the New Wave Swim Buoy is a versatile and innovative product that addresses the key concerns of open water swimmers, triathletes, and water sports enthusiasts. With its exceptional visibility, safe floatation, and personal storage capabilities, it provides a comprehensive solution for those seeking to enhance their safety and enjoyment in the open water.
