Excelente material and very confortable
One of the best and most useful items I've ever purchased. As an open water swimmer in the Gulf of Mexico it takes a pounding but lasts a long time. Makes me more visible to lifeguards and boaters. Easily holds my weight when needed and I was glad to read on the package that the color may be a deterrent to sharks something people are constantly asking me about. Good price free shipping and you are always throwing in a swim cap and pouch.
Thanks

I reached out to customer service to inquire about the replacement to my original buoy. The response was very fast by SMS, and I was provided with code to complete the new order.
The code generously covered the order of the new buoy, as well as new swimming goggles. I have tried the googles and can attest that they are on par with any of the competitive brands commonly found in stores and online. I did not get to try the new dry bag buoy, however, once I do, will report back.
I have no doubt that it will work as designed. The new 'dry bag' feature is probably the smartest development in signal buoys, allowing you to take necessities with you, and track the swim on your phone/app, brilliant.
Thank again!

it would be better if one could use a pump inside of your mouth to inflate it as with your mouth a lot of the air escapes before you can close the opening
These swim caps are great. I like a lot
These are the first and only silicone swim caps that stay on my big melon. I use them for both pool and open water swimming. I’ve developed a latex sensitivity, so can’t wear latex caps much anymore. So glad I found these!
Excelente product
Great customer service, had some minor issues with my previous buoy, and I was sent another completely free of charge. It’s a great safety device for me.
Muito bom os vossos produtos!
Os produtos da newwave são os melhores do mercado do ramo de natação e maratonas aquáticas. Amo!
I contacted NewWave regarding the popular swim buoy and told them that my buoy had a slow leak on the seam. Without hesitating, Andrei Lozovik, addressed the issue and assured me that he would be sending me a free replacement buoy. My account address was still accurate on the site and my replacement was received within 2 days. I have told many folks this story at Walden Pond in Concord, MA (a local triathlon open-water swim training site). Everyone agrees, in this day and age, we seek companies that stand behind their products and provide a personal touch.
Love them...These buoys are very visable from the shore and the water. Not just for triathletes- keeps recreational swimmers safe, too and provides an easy and fun spot to float and rest rest. Comfortable to use- they do not interfere with swimming! Thanks for the caps and the dry bag, too!
Wore it in a bay off the Pacific Ocean. Comfortable. Held my phone great and kept it dry.
This buoy is perfect for storing your key while you swim. Additionally it provides great visibility to boaters. I feel safer with this on. Does not interfere with swim at all.
Am 69, asthmatic, neck problems with cervical vertebrae. Am working on improving my technique and endurance, basically learning to swim again, as exercise by swimming laps at local Y. Used swim buoy for the first time during our annual week at the lake in northern MN. Gave me confidence I could go for longer swim in open lake with option to take a break without spending energy treading water.
Got lots of questions/interest from other adults. Resort we have gone to for 25+ years is on a beautiful 84 acre spring fed lake near the Mississippi headwaters.
I do not use the 'dry storage' feature and noticed that it was wet after swimming but I may have not set it up correctly.
I actually bought two buoys, the other from Xterra. My intent was to have two for my sons who sometimes swim too far from shore. Tried both and preferred the New Wave, as it seemed to have slightly more flotation.
Bought the goggles for my open water swims (along with a matching pink buoy) and the fit is fantastic. No fogging yet. I've chosen them to wear on an upcoming open water race.
Very convenient and reassuring; I am comfortable swimming farther and longer with swim buoy along. It’s also reassuring and convenient to watch my swimming partner and her swim buoy from afar.
The New Wave Swim Pull Buoy has been an excellent addition to my swim gear bag.
I’m glad to received my new buoy 😍 looks stronger and i feel more secured. I love the visibility of the color and perfect size for me. I can put my iphone and bottle water inside while using it. Thanks for your great customer service as well. Never disappointed when i needed help.
The water's still too cold here in Tennessee, but I expect the bouy to help crazy watercraft drivers avoid killing me! I mean, it's HOT PINK!! The comped hot pink swim cap will help, too. This device is getting me into the lake after three years of moving here and not enjoying the water we specifically moved here to retire and enjoy. Whoever thought of this deserves sainthood!
The pool I swim at has over 5 types of buoys. Some slip, some are not balanced on both side which makes it hard to keep in your legs or even have balanced hips, others tear up easy. I finally decided to try this brand and get my own! Well worth the money! This buoy is well made, heavy duty material but still light weight, and I love that it’s the same shape on both side! Worth the money!
Three friends used three different colors (pink, yellow, lime) of the swim buoys and swam everyday at a cove in Mexico for a week. We were able to spot each other, boats were able to see us as well as people on the beach!
The 20L swim buoy is just big enough for shoes, a water bottle, and keys. It toes easily behind my feet with minimal resistance. The waistband adjusts from tiny to in excess of a 54” waist.
I swim spring fed rivers in Florida year round, typically doing a 6 mile route that takes 90 minutes, downstream. The swim buoy is handy for carrying my shoes, water, and keys. I did add a SUP leash to the tether strap to permit diving. When swimming through obstacles, it is advisable to tuck in the excess length to avoid snagging.
On at least two occasions, companions have cramped up from the cold temperatures. Having a flotation device that can be quickly attached to their waist has allowed them to recover while ensuring that a rescue could be performed easily if the situation had gone south.
This buoy provides visibility, an opportunity for self rescue, an aid for struggling swimmers in need of rescue, and recovery (yeah…gators). I will never again swim open water alone without having this in tow.
It was easy to order, the delivery was seamless and the product looks great. Too cold for swimming, but looking forward to using it.
Absolutely love this swim cap. Super comfortable and so visible in open water!
