I am swimming in a 1.7 mile open water swim and was wondering if anyone had safety tips for my practicing. I was thinking of maybe using some sort of torpedo float attached to my ankle (just something colourful to tow), is that a bad idea? If not, where could I purchase guard-type floats?

for visability a bright cap is a good idea.
avoid areas with a lot of recreational boat activity.
its always better to swim with a partner.
