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.
I'm back from my trip. I used the hi-vis greenish yellow buoy with a neon pink swim cap and am told I was quite visible from 300 yards away when I was swimming along the shoreline. I had a boat with me when did my 1700m swim across the lake, and the boat was way more visible than the buoy ;)
