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?

  • Thanks for this info. I have to admit that when I first saw these I thought it was the hokiest thing I had ever seen. Might as well swim with water wings!! On the other hand, I am always trying to come up with a way to carry stuff. And anything that reduces the chance of an "accidental" meeting with a drunk boater is always welcome. Glad to hear there is no real drag to worry about, and that it really isn't giving any actual floatation help while swimming. Still not convinced, but...maybe eventually getting there.
