Open Water Swim Buoy for Swimmers and Triathletes - Visible Float for Safe Training and Racing

The brightly-colored New Wave Swim Buoy is exceptionally noticeable to boaters, jet skis, paddlers, surfers and, some say, can even be visible from space, improving visibility to avoid getting decapitated by a jet ski or a speed boat. Swimmers in black wetsuits are virtually invisible in the open water, but the New Wave Swim Buoy will display you prominently in the murky waters of the Loch Ness Lake, ensuring that even the Loch Ness Monster will not confuse you for a tasty harbour seal.

Due to its natural buoyancy, the New Wave Swim Buoy can be used as a flotation device, providing reassurance that in case you cramp up or simply need rest, you are able to grab the float. The New Wave Swim Buoy is very lightweight (only 10 oz) to bring along for a refreshing swim workout in the open water, and while it does not replace personal floatation devices (PFDs) or swim life vests widely used by kayakers and standup paddle boarders (SUPs), you can add a bike blinker inside the float to quadruple or even quintuple your aqua-visibility.

The New Wave Swim Buoy is useful in point-to-point swims, with a storage compartment that is separate from the Inflatable Air Chamber. Athletes can use this compartment to store various items, such as sunglasses, sunscreen, body glide, extra cap and goggles, running shoes, socks and clothes, diving mask, snorkel, camera, water shoes, and even an iPod, making it a versatile companion for water-based adventures.

Furthermore, the visibility provided by the New Wave Swim Buoy can be beneficial for monitoring athletes. Spectators, officials, and lifeguards alike will appreciate the ability to see the swimmers from afar, and if you put your cell phone in a Ziploc bag, you can use apps like MapMyRun, RunKeeper, or Garmin Connect to track your location and broadcast it in the water, ensuring that your loved ones or race officials can keep an eye on your progress.
