Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this buoy as a life jacket?

No. This product is a swimming aid for visibility and storage, not a personal flotation device (PFD) for safety or rescue.

Is the storage compartment fully waterproof?

If the top is rolled properly and secured, it creates an airtight, waterproof seal that keeps items dry during typical swimming conditions.

Will the buoy interfere with my stroke?

Most swimmers find that the buoy sits well behind them. You can adjust the tether length to ensure it stays far enough away to avoid contact with your arms.

How do I inflate it?

The buoy features standard mouth-inflation valves. Simply open the cap, blow into the valve, and reseal it once firm.

Can I store a smartphone inside?

Yes, it is designed to store personal electronics, but it is recommended to use a secondary waterproof phone pouch inside for added protection.

Troubleshooting

Buoy loses air during the swim

Check that the valve caps are pushed in firmly and that the valves are not clogged with sand or salt crystals.

Water found inside the dry bag compartment

Ensure the top opening is rolled down tightly at least three times and the buckle is fully clicked into place before entering the water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-visibility color increases swimmer safety
  • Provides secure, waterproof storage for personal belongings
  • Offers a reliable buoyancy aid for resting during long-distance swims
  • Lightweight design prevents drag and interference during strokes

Cons

  • Not a certified life-saving flotation device
  • Requires manual inflation and deflation between uses
  • Large size may feel bulky in choppy, turbulent water conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your buoy, first ensure both air chambers are fully inflated through the mouth valves. Pack your belongings into the central dry compartment, ensuring the top is rolled down tightly at least three times before buckling to create an airtight seal. Secure the waist strap around your midsection, adjusting the tether line to your preferred length.

After each use, rinse the buoy with fresh water to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Once clean, wipe it down with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry in a shaded area before storing. Avoid leaving the buoy in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material degradation. Always inspect the valves for signs of debris or damage before your swim.
