Swim Belts and Buoy for Open Water, Float for Safer Training

My go-to swim buoy. I have a dry-bag version but it’s my back-up buoy. If you swim open water, you need one. I’ve had this 6 months now and no complaints. Holds air and I’ve even used it as a floatation device when I got caught in a current.

Including on larger bodies. I was worried the strap wouldn't accommodate my waist but it does. For reference, I'm about a US women's size 26/28. I wear this for solo three-season OWS and it makes it a little safer, esp in fall or when out in large bodies of water that allow motorized boats. The buoy is quick to inflate and has yet to leak while using it. It also makes a pretty nice impromptu head rest when I'm taking a breather in the water!

Work as described

Works great for my open water swims. This was a budget friendly option and I've had no problems. Takes about 5 seconds to inflate/deflate and I've had no problem with it staying inflated while in use. Seems sturdy.

The media could not be loaded. i intended to use this as a rescue backup as I made that walk/swim from Kualoa state park to mokolii island in hawaii.. turns out, my insticts were right — this small equipment became my lifesaver going back as the walk turned into 500 meters of all swim when the tides unexpctedly got stronger and higher and the waves started to get bigger. this device for sure helped me a lot when my husband came to rescue me in the middle of the ocean… we probably would have not made it to shore if it was not for this device as i had to hang on to it every now and then during that swim on very rough (if not roughest ever) conditions. I happened to bring it with me on this hawaii trip as i was also there for a triathlon where i used it during my swim drills before the event. This device held up really well and it still looks and functions like brand through drills and regular open water swims which i do at least 4 times a week — no leaks, no broken parts and no rips after multiple uses.. Best part is the price

I swim in a lake with motor boats and also use it so they can see me. So far so good.

The first time I used it, the clip released while I was standing up, and once in the water, releasing the buoy from the waist strap. I saw no options to contact customer service worker, because the return window was closed. Save your money, the product is useless.

Love this product!! Very visible unlike yellow bouy which can get tinted over time from sunlight and turn white but this pink bouy is amazing
