Why wear a buoy when swimming in open water?

When swimming in open-water, it is strongly recommended that you use an inflatable safety buoy so that you can be easily spotted by boats, rescuers and other swimmers. The buoy also serves as a resting place if you are tired or have cramps. In addition, a whistle is attached to the buoy so that you can make your presence known with an audible signal if necessary.

How do you inflate your buoy?

We recommend inflating both chambers to 50% each for more safety.

External storage for supplies

The mesh pocket is positioned on the submerged side of the buoy, in the water, to keep your supplies cool!
