Why We Love It
Open water swims come with real traffic, boats, paddle boarders, other swimmers, so being seen matters as much as being fit. The Orca Safety Buoy With Pocket tows behind you on an adjustable waist strap, giving support if you need a breather and a hi-vis beacon that keeps you visible the whole way out and back. It's the kind of gear you forget you're wearing until the one day you actually need it.
Talk Nerdy To Me
Built from 100% TPU for puncture resistance and welded seams that keep air in and water out, the buoy inflates to a 9 litre capacity, enough lift to support your weight if you need to stop and tread water. Deflated, it packs down to just 76x36x5cm, so it rolls into a swim bag without hassle. The quick-access pocket measures 20x36cm, large enough for a soft flask or a couple of gels, while the separate internal pocket is fully waterproofed for valuables. The 73cm waist strap is adjustable, so the buoy sits snug and trails without dragging, whatever your torso size. The integrated whistle built into the buckle means you can call for help without breaking stroke. A quick-access pocket keeps a gel or your keys within reach mid-swim, while a separate waterproof pocket shields your phone or wallet from the water entirely.
