I'm going to be on a lake in Montana for a week at the end of July and want to do some OW swims in the early morning hours (6am to 7am likely). Nothing big, probably 30 to 40 minutes, just going out and back. During the day, this is a very busy lake (e.g., jetskis, ski boats, etc.). What I'm wondering is if there are any buoy+flag devices that I could swim comfortably with to provide me slightly more visibility to any boats that might be out at that hour? I'd love any links to products if they exist. Thanks.
If you find anything interesting, please post about it.
I've not found anything yet, so I'm thinking of MacGyvering together:
Belt from a swim tether like Amazon.com: TYR Stationary Swim Belt: Sports & Outdoors
with a scuba float and flag like www.scuba.com/.../Scuba-Dive-Flag-and-Float.html
I figure it's worth spending the ~$30 to $40 to see if I can make this work. I'll slap on a pink or bright orange cap and hopefully be good to go.
