User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a coast guard-approved personal flotation device (pfd
Answer:	I don’t think it qualifies for a pfd I looked it over and there was no tag. Excellent for trying to make it out to that dock a couple of miles out if you tire or cramp it does the trick.
Question:	Will it fit my 44 inch waist
Answer:	I think so - I remember the waist strap having a lot of capacity but not 100% sure
Question:	How do you deflate this buoy? Air doesn’t seem to be naturally exiting the valve
Answer:	In the directions it explains that you use the belt buckle plastic insertion side to push into the plastic inflation valve in the center and hold the buoy squeezing it to push the air out. Only takes less than a minute to deflate. Very easy.
Question:	How do you deflate the bouy
Answer:	Just like a balloon! Open the end up and press it out.

Pair this brightly-colored swim float with a New Wave swim cap to be exceptionally noticeable. Be Bright & Be Seen by speed boats and jet skis to avoid getting decapitated. Some have even said this swimmers buoy may be visible from space, but that might just be due to advancements in satellite technology.
• The New Wave series of triathlon training buoys help make you a safer swimmer by combining utility with visibility. This New Wave buoy is essentially a lifeguard float which will help track or log your swims with a coach, lifeguard or swim buddy.

• Safe Place to Float and Rest. Because of the natural buoyancy, the New Wave swimming safety float can be used as a flotation device. You have reassurance that in case you cramp up or simply need rest, you are able to grab the float.
• Very light to bring with you on a paddleboard or kayak trip.

User questions & answers

Question:	I need a buoy that's visible from space, prevents decapitation, and will keep the Loch Ness monster from confusing me with a sea cow. Is this the one
Answer:	I doubt that it is visible from space but it would be visible from a Piper Cub over a lake. It would not prevent decapitation. Its a serious risk that it would keep the Monster from confusing you with a sea cow, because I don't think that the Monster would really care.
Question:	Any thoughts about drag with this thing
Answer:	Very little. It is floating. Almost nothing in the water and very light in weight.
Question:	Wondering if it would get in the way of my arms and legs doing a variety of strokes, not just the crawl
Answer:	I wondered that too before I purchased. After using this on several swims I can confidently state that it doesn't get in the way at all. The float slips out of the way on its own when I switch to back stroke. You may need to help it along though, which is totally easy since the tether slides easily around on the belt. I've done breast stroke, back, freestyle, butterfly, and sidestroke--all with no interference from the buoy.
Question:	how long is tetered rope? how much storage will it hold
Answer:	the tether is one foot long. While the air volume and compartment storage volume is 15L or 4 gallons, I would not store more than a coke-can size and weight (12oz) object inside the buoy, as it will displace air, reduce buoyancy, which in turn start creating drag and slow down you.

Product description

Swimming Buoy Orange Large

For a safe feeling while swimming: The bright colored buoy increases your visibility in the water dramatically. As a result, you are better visible to boats, jetskis,... Especially when swimming in open water and wearing a dark wetsuit you are hardly recognizable as a swimmer. This gives an unpleasant feeling and the training is only half as much fun. With this signal buoy you are always clearly visible and enjoy your training with a good feeling.

Take a break and hold on to the buoy. It easily provides enough buoyancy even with a higher body weight (we have tested up to 100kg).

Everything always with you: The dry bag integrated in the buoy has a large enough volume to carry a towel and spare clothes.

Protection for your mobile phone: With the simple snap-lock closure, your mobile phone can be protected quickly and easily. The cover is dust and moisture repellent. This means that your mobile phone is well protected against sand and moisture. IMPORTANT: Theoretically it is waterproof. Theoretically! Please test the tightness before each use. And for safety's sake, just assume that the cover only protects against splash water and should not be submerged under water. Better safe than sorry :-)

Colour: Bright Orange

Size: 30 cm x 20 cm x 50 cm

Material: Nylon and PVC

Capacity: Approx. 25 litres

Included in the set: Buoy with line and belly strap, mobile phone cover

IMPORTANT notes: The buoy is not suitable as a buoyancy aid and may only be used by experienced swimmers to increase visibility. Before each use check the buoy for proper function to ensure that it is waterproof and airtight. The same applies to the mobile phone cover.

• VISIBILITY: Increased visibility through bright colour. As swimmers we are very difficult to see in open water for boats, jetskis,... - the buoy increases visibility due to the bright color and large surface area. It also offers the possibility to rest at the buoy.
• BUOY INCLUDING DRY BAG: The buoy consists of an inflatable chamber and a dry bag of approximately the same size (drysack, wet bag), which offers enough space for towel, T-shirt etc.
• SET-OFFER: The set consists of the inflatable buoy with large, separate dry bag chamber PLUS waterproof mobile phone cover.
• LIGHT AND SMALL PACK SIZE: The buoy is super light and can be folded to a very small packing size. So it fits very well in every bag.
• SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: No marketing Bah-Blah - you should have a lifetime of fun with the buoy. We try everything in the production so that we can put a long-lasting product in your hands. From time to time, something still goes wrong. Contact us us at any time if something doesn't work. We will replace the buoy without discussion within 12 months. In addition, we will repair it for a lifetime if something breaks.
