Swim Buoy & Drybag - for Swimmers, Open Water and Triathlon. Pull Buoy for Adults and Kids. Orange Signal Swimming Bubble

Great piece of equipment. Dry bag compartment was big enough for shorts, t shirt, flip flops, phone and keys. Quick to blow up and deflate

Keeps all my impressions stuff with me while I swim. Good partner for solo travelers/swims in the beach.

I am in Hawaii right now and have used it (for the first time) for the last four days. The last time I was here I noticed several swimmers using them so I bought one. It words great. It is as easy to use as the videos suggest, holds a lot of stuff and most importantly keeps everything inside dry. Also, with its handle it can be used as a beach tote to cary all my stuff to the beach.

Took a while to figure out how to use it. Useless written instructions with the product. Mfr has one mediocre youtube video which helps understand how the strap is assembled, but nothing about how to seal the dry bag space, inflate or sizing of the tow strap.I learned more from a competitor product which is similar in design. Having said that, the product is very satisfactory after one use.

I have only used it a few times as of now. It has worked great so far. It is generally larger than most other buoys I see other swimmers using by at least 50%. The orange color makes it far more visible than some of the yellow or green ones I have seen, and combined with the larger size, make it very noticeable even in rough water. It can get blow around a bit if it is very windy, but it is a very small inconvenience. The straps are easily adjustable and I am able to inflate it quickly, put it on, and be swimming with little downtime. Great buoy so far, will be testing the durability of this product in the coming months.

This is a rugged and tough product. Stays well inflated. Great visibility and a lot of storage - although does get a little moist on the inside, so give your valuables A little extra protection by maybe putting them in a plastic bag. Super lightweight, you do not feel it when swimming at all. Connector, belt strap doesn’t make a lot of sense. Cannot seem to figure out how to attach it to the handle on the buoy itself, but I attach it to the rolled up portion of the top of the bag and it works just fine. overall, I would definitely recommend this product.

I bought this product because I also wanted a waterproof mobile phone cover. When I received it, the mobile phone cover is marked as "splash resistant" and it's not the brand Swim Buoy which they advertise at time of purchase. So, heads up to everyone re what is presented and what you receive. The buoy and dry bag seem well made. I've used the buoy about 4 times so far. It's a bit bigger than the last one I ordered (another brand) but that doesn't effect my swimming. I was confused on the straps but reading other reviews helped me resolve how to strap it to the buoy and then around my waist. Warning: the strap that goes around your waist can get lost when you unstrap it. Twice I've unstrapped it along the shore line and it is not connected permanently to the other strap, so it drops into the ocean. The other brand I bought had better strap engineering and I didn't have to think about this. But, the other brand did not remain dry in the dry sack after just a few uses which is why I'm giving this brand a try. I normally do not write reviews until I've used the product for awhile but because of the false waterproof mobile phone advertising, I'm going ahead now. This may be a great product for holding dry....I just don't know yet.

This is the second buoy I've used for open water swimming. It is quite a bit larger. Which makes it more visible. I can't feel anymore drag than with the smaller one.The watertight compartment always gets damp when I use this. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I put my keys in a plastic bag before I put them in. I also throw in two flashing bicycle lights. Maybe consider a flashing light system in the future.Also, I don't like the fact that the strap comes off so easily. I'd prefer it permanently attached.Just my opinion. Good luck with your company. Peace.
