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've done a lot of ocean races and workouts and the only time I've ever been scared was when I was alone. And when I get scared I always think to myself, "you gotta be nuts to be doing this alone, you're breaking the cardinal rule of swimming." And the other thing I think is, "if one of my children was doing this, they wouldn't have to worry about the sharks, I'd kill 'em myself." NEVER SWIM ALONE.
