Swim Safety Device is a convenient, lightweight, waterproof device
solves a number of problems, especially for those who are visiting an
unfamiliar stretch of beach or lake. Open water swimmers can swim
point-to-point and have all their personal items (mobile phone, towel,
shoes, money) completely dry and safe with them. As the swimmers show
in the video above, the inflatable Swim Safety Device floats on the water and creates minimal drag.
The Swim Safety Device is especially useful for swimtrekking and open water orienteering.
The Swim Safety Device is defined by the Open Water Swimming Dictionary as a lightweight inflatable device that visibly floats behind a swimmer in open bodies of water. The device is easily pulled along by the swimmer and can hold one’s valuables (e.g., wallet, money, mobile phone, shoes, towel) as well as be used in emergencies as a flotation device.

The brightly colored device is also easily visible by lifeguards and
boaters and windsurfers on the water. The International Swimming Hall of Fame sells the Swim Safety Device for US$29.95 + shipping or for US$24.95 for a minimum of ten units.
