Product Description

A measure of visibility in open water. It is a swimming safety float that is exceptionally visible to boaters, jet skiers, surfers, and paddlers due to its brightly colored skin. Make sure that you are visible to a jet ski or a speed boat to avoid getting decapitated. Black wetsuits make swimmers virtually invisible in the open water but the New Wave Swim Buoy will draw attention to you in the murky waters of Loch Ness Lake so even the Loch Ness Monster won't confuse you for a
It provides a safe place to float and rest. Because of its natural buoyancy, the New Wave swimming safety float can be used as a flotation device. When you cramp up or simply need a rest, you can grab the float to get some relief.
The board is lightweight and easy to bring along on a paddleboarding or kayaking Despite not replacing personal floatation devices (PFDs) or swim life vests, commonly used by kayakers and standup paddle boarders (SUPs), the New Wave Swim Buoy is very lightweight (only 10 oz) to transport when swimming in the open ocean. With a bike blinker that is built into the float, your visibility will quadruple or maybe even quintuple.
Personal items are stored in the storage unit. It is helpful to travel from point A to point B with the New Wave Swim Buoy. The New Wave Swim Buoy has a storage compartment that is separate from the inflatable air chamber and is fastened to your waist with a belt tied to a tether line. We all know what our athletes put in the buoy, but what do they put in the The following items are necessary for swimming sunglasses, sunscreen, body glide, an extra cap and goggles, running shoes, socks and clothes, a diving mask, snorkel, a camera, and If you were going on a voyage by water, what would you take with you?
An improved monitoring system for athletes. It is important to keep an eye on your swim buddies or make sure the other swimmers are still alive while competing, which is why spectators, officials, and lifeguards alike will enjoy the New Wave swimming safety float, which allows them to view the swimmers from afar. are swimming in water and put your cell phone in a waterproof pouch, your phone will be sharing your location with the GPS tracking to make sure you know how far you are swimming AND to broadcast your location.

Questions & Answers

I'm not too sure how this works, does it follow behind you if it floats, and if so, is there a line that appears?

You will float behind it - It is equipped with a waist strap that buckles around your waist and then floats behind on its own Swimmers don't have to worry about it interfering with their swimming, and if they want to rest, they can kind of float onto it and rest a little bit.

Do you have a big carry compartment that fits a flip-flop What about flip-flops?

In short, yes. My flip flops fit fine in size 12, and there is also enough room for other things as well. Before inflating the buoy, place all items in the bag and seal it or it may leak.

Are men able to use it too or is it only for women? What is the maximum weight and can man use it too?

The weight limit is 190 lbs no matter the height of the woman or man Our 20L models are best for users who weigh more than 190 pounds

Do you have a big carry compartment that fits a flip-flop What about flip-flops?

In short, yes. My flip flops (regular thickness) are size 12 for men, and they fit perfectly with plenty of room for my keys and phone. It still doesn't matter if it's packed in a T-shirt There was a time when I wore that shirt with all the other stuff. You should ignore directions when playing this trick. Firstly, put in your gear, followed by closing the bag and inflating it.

My favorite swimming aid
5/5

What a great swimming aid. I thought I'd feel the drag from the buoy behind me, but there was nothing there. The air balloon inflated in less than two minutes. It's probably less than that. I was impressed with how fast it was. The only thing I'm able to swim in these days is the lake, so I find this device extremely In fact, I breathed in a little water during my swim, and was violently coughing as a result. Floating on the buoy was a great way for me to relax while I coughed. As far as the pocket is concerned, it is big enough to carry my phone keys and even my I can also be seen 500 yards away by those swimming behind me. Thanks for the purchase. I'm very happy with it.

It is a good safety tool for open-ended work Taking a swim in the water
5/5

The pools at all the hotels will be closed during COVID I had no choice other than to go to a nearby lake when I turned 19. Being a novice open water swimmer, I purchased the NEW WAVE SWIM BOY. My first time using a swim buoy was a few years ago. Due to reports that it would be the most visible, I bought the "Fluo Green". For the weight I am, it was recommended to purchase a 15L size. While the NEW WAVE SWIM BUOY has given me a little bit of confidence in open water, I still freak out when I see all the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake waving at me. Consequently, I agree with other people who say that the color "Fluo Green" is the most visible. If you're traveling away from home, I believe it's better to go with the larger 20L bag. If you're only carrying a wallet and a few keys, the 15L is perfect. If you bring anything else like slippers, towels, dry clothes, etc. , the fit will be very limited. you're a comfortable swimmer who is thinking about swimming in open water, I think the NEW WAVE SWIM BUOY is a good safety investment. The best swimmers can get cramps or simply need to rest. In those cases, you'll be happy you have a new wave swim buoy.

I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to swim/snorkel without lifeguards on ocean beaches
5/5

I'd like you to meet my It was a recommendation by our law firm that we buy these before our Maui vacation. It seemed like a good idea, so I decided to try it. Due to the fact that we are now in the middle of the year During the 1960s. During black rock snorkeling, my husband and I were able to see the following This Sheraton Hotel gives a great customer experience A trip to Ka'anapali Beach is recommended. As soon as I heard "help", I ran for it. Then I lifted my head again and saw nothing, so I carried on After a few seconds, I heard "help" becoming louder. An individual nearby was in difficulty and was unable to breathe, so I went over to help. As my husband assisted in swimming/towing the distressed swimmer back to shore, I handed him the swim buoy to hold onto and handed him the swim buoy to hold onto. took a lot of effort to get him back to shore against the current. Without the guidance from the swim buoy, I am not sure how we would have managed. There were no lifeguards on duty, and the other swimmers and snorkelers appeared to be unaware of It never occurred to me that the Swim Buoy would come in handy.

Not a big deal
3/5

The reviews I heard from swimmers who participated in open water In addition to being lightweight, it also uses very little power. The balloon is easy to inflate. In cold weather, I found it difficult to open the dry bag release since it's a press button. waist belt slips in the water, which is a complaint I have about this package. While swimming, the adjustable slide on the belt failed to stay on. Took me out of the belt. It was necessary to swim several times to retrieve the buoy since it was floating out to sea with my car keys inside. I am going to have to attach the pants so they will no longer adjust. The reason I was only able to give it 3 stars is because of this.

I like how the bag is highly visible and holds a lot
5/5

The past few months, I have done solo swims in open water. When I was preparing for the trip, I read up on what I would need, and I saw some My favorite is this one as I have used it regularly for over a month now in choppy waters in a bay. I love the way it works. My size 12 flip flops, my phone, and car key are all easily fit into the dry bag portion of it, and I haven't had much trouble with water getting in (although I do keep my phone in a waterproof Being able to see the boats out there better is great since they're always around. Sometimes it bumps my legs if I'm swimming breaststroke, but it doesn't bother me a lot. The following is an update for the month of August. The twenty-first century My husband and I have used this for open water training in salt water regularly for over 16 months in a variety of conditions ranging from cold winter weather to hot summer climates. Even though it's been subjected to quite a bit of rough sailing where waves tug on it hard, it has remained leak-free. There is some fading of color due to the sun, but performances are not impaired. It is still working well for me.

This company is the best I've ever encountered
5/5

My favorite part of this swim buoy and dry bag is the buoy! During swimming, the bag holds all my stuff, and the strap is so comfortably designed I barely realize it's there. But a company with Superb customer service is even better. I bought this inflatable in April and it developed a hole along the seam, so I left a review saying that it didn't last that As soon as the seller refunded my order, he apologized, and he offered to solve the problem Initially, he said there were quality issues, but they occasionally occur, and he replaced the item at no charge. I have not had any other problems Thanks so much.

Fits just fine for someone with a bigger frame
5/5

The height and weight of my 210 lbs. are 6'2" and 6'3". I find it floats me well. It does not interfere with my strokes at all. As far as you are concerned, you can pretty much ignore it. As of yet, have not had to use it for resting, but it increases my trust and security greatly.

You've got a great idea! I like it very much
5/5

I really like this keychain. It provides the functionality I was looking for, in a bright, attractive color, and it keeps my key and the change in place. Keep my phone safe at all times.
