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.
