I'm new to open water swimming but I'm not much of a group joiner. I know everyone says don't swim alone but...
Does anyone know of any devise that is made that will increase my visability to others in the water, and perhaps be used as an emergency flotation device if I get into trouble?
I was searching on the internet and have seen the lifeguard cans and tubes but didn't know if there was anything made specifically for what I want it for.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I saw an article maybe 1 or 2 years ago about some sort of CO2 cartridge device that you wear under your suit and inflate if needed. But I never saw the actual device.
I've tried the "lifeguard" rescue tube for solo swims but I have found the strap to be encumbering for long swims - especially if the wind is at the wrong angle.
