Just used mine for the first time yesterday, on a lake with a significant amount of boat traffic. Not only did it make me feel safer, but it made my husband, on the shore, feel MUCH better.
When we travel, I often do open water swims in relatively unknown areas. Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, etc. I plan on taking this with me and using it every time. I love that he can see where I am and that the boats will be more aware of me out there.
It took a bit to get used to be but after that, I loved being able to have a water bottle with me and found that I barely noticed it behind me.
Did you use the water bottle during your swim? If so, did that require deflating the buoy?
