Open water swimming offers freedom and challenge unlike any pool session. But it also comes with risks. A tow buoy is one of the simplest yet most effective tools to ensure safety while training in lakes, rivers, or the ocean.
A brightly colored buoy makes swimmers more visible to boats, lifeguards, and training partners. Beyond safety, many buoys also provide a small waterproof compartment, giving swimmers peace of mind to carry keys or essentials.
When choosing a buoy, material matters. Standard PVC models may weaken and lose shape after repeated use. TPU Polyether buoys, on the other hand, maintain elasticity and durability—even after long exposure to water and sunlight. This hydrolysis resistance means your buoy is always reliable during long training sessions.
For triathletes and endurance swimmers, a durable buoy becomes more than an accessory—it’s part of the training kit. Lightweight, safe, and eco-friendly, TPU Polyether buoys allow athletes to focus on performance, knowing their safety gear will not let them down.
