This buoy is designed to provide a safety aid for open water swimmers, serving three important functions without hindering performance or hindering your stroke. The safety buoy will make you visible to boaters and other potential human hazards while you are swimming. It can be used as a flotation device when you need it in the case of cramps, dizziness or injury and it can also be used to rescue others. It can also keep your “stuff” safe while your swimming or allows you to take along your stuff on one-way swims across rivers or lakes.
