Ok, I've looked all over the net and can't find anything satifactory on PFD's that can be worn while open water swimming for use in emergencies only. What I have in mind is something low drag that can be automatically inflated and worn while swimmimng distance in open water. Just in case of cramps, etc. Please help!
Thanks

What I’ve done in the past is to tether a kickboard, either by an ankle strap or a waist belt. Usually I’ve used a short belted stretch cord. The kick board has a low profile, provides ample flotation and I can also bungee a water bottle or 2 to the kickboard for in swim feedings.
