I plan to do a fair amount of lake swimming during an upcoming vacation. I'll probably do two or three boat accompanied 1500m plus swims as well as regular training swims along fairly well protected shoreline swimming laps between two boat docks. Last year I tried to tried to jerry rig a buoy to increase my visibility using a life jacket. It didn't work - kept kicking it. So this year I'm purchasing a proper buoy such a the New Wave. Does anyone have any experience finding some colors better than others? The pink one is cheapest and I'm fine with the color unless others have found it not bright enough.
Ah valuable lesson in not following others blindly. :) At least you did it in a practice setting. I did that one race pacing behind 2 other swimmers and we all had to make about a 45 degree turn to get to the last turn buoy. Ugh. But to that, we only had a couple of buoys on a 2.5 mile course.
