- About this item
- PREMIUM LIGHTWEIGHT AND DURABLE – this is a strong and well-made nylon PVC coated tow buoy swim float. The waist belt fits snugly around most waists and it has 3 carry straps that can be used on SwimRun races, to and from the car or to hang on to while resting in the water. It can withstand some pretty tough open water conditions and gently tows behind you with no noticeable drag, but is still large enough to be seen by other water users. SAFER SWIMMING – be seen be safe. The extra bright, hi-viz yellow color is great for visibility in open water making for safe swimming in all conditions. You’ll be noticed by boats, jet-skis, paddlers and surfers towing this. In addition, it is a useful float assistant when you need a rest or have cramp, but should not be relied on as a safety device – just for a rest, enjoying the view or a chat with mates. Great for catching your breath or enjoying the view! TRAINING AID - this tow buoy is not only useful for keeping you safe but it also helps your coach keep a track of you when training and your swim buddy or spectators see where you are. Open water swimmers will love the extra security they will feel with a HUT swim buoy when venturing into remote lakes etc. EASY TO USE – the waist strap fits easily around any size waist (comfortably to 48inches) and is fully adjustable for a snug fit. The tether line provides a secure tow line and it does not get in the way whilst swimming. It is easy to inflate and deflate using the one-way valve for inflation then undoing the whole valve for rapid deflation. It takes only a few seconds. GREAT VALUE – this tow buoy offers fantastic value. It is of premium quality, has been thoroughly tested in the freezing lakes of North Wales, UK (in some harsh conditions!) and the Atlantic and is suitable for all ages and sizes, adults and kids alike. It provides excellent visibility and has handy carry handles. What’s not to like at this fabulous price point!
