Full details

The Osprey Swim Tow Float is an essential safety companion for open-water swimmers and triathletes who prioritize visibility and gear security. By tethering to your waist, this device ensures you are easily spotted by boaters and watercraft while providing a dry compartment for small valuables; however, users should note that this is strictly a visibility aid and does not function as a personal flotation device or life-saving equipment.

FAQs

Is this a life-saving device?

No, the Osprey Swim Tow Float is a visibility aid only and is not designed to support your body weight or act as a flotation device.

Can I fit a full-sized water bottle in the bag?

The storage pocket is designed for small essentials like keys, nutrition, and small electronics; a full-sized water bottle will likely be too bulky.

Does it drag behind me while swimming?

It is designed to be lightweight and hydrodynamic, so it will trail behind you with minimal resistance and should not interfere with your stroke.

How do I ensure the dry bag is waterproof?

Make sure the opening is clean, then fold the top edge down at least three times before securing the buckle to create a watertight seal.

Is the waist strap adjustable?

Yes, the strap is fully adjustable to fit various waist sizes securely.

Troubleshooting

Float is losing air during the swim

Ensure the inflation valve cap is pressed firmly into the closed position and check the seams for any punctures or debris.

Water found inside the dry bag compartment

Confirm that the top of the dry bag was rolled tightly at least three times before clipping the buckle, and check for any debris in the seal area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases visibility in open water
  • Provides secure, dry storage for small essentials
  • Does not interfere with arm strokes or kick
  • Lightweight and portable construction

Cons

  • Not a life-saving or flotation device
  • Storage pocket capacity is limited to small items

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your float, open the inflation valve and blow into the nozzle until the chamber is fully firm, then seal it securely. Attach the waist strap to your body, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. After every use in salt or chlorinated water, rinse the float thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to air dry in a shaded area. Always check the integrity of the dry bag seal before each session to ensure no moisture enters the storage compartment. Store the float in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the material's durability.
