There was a tie-behind swim buoy advertised in Swimmer Magazine a few issues ago. How many of you use them and what are some benefits?

    I already own a "diver down" float for snorkeling, and have used it for some open water swims, but this looks like it would have a lot less drag. If it's empty, you don't even know it's there. The only time I feel it is if there are waves. Then I will feel a little tug on the belt. We don't get big waves here. If you were swimming in big waves it might get kind of annoying.
