Your cart is empty.The New Wave Swim Bubble is very similar in functionality to the New Wave Swim Buoy, but it has no Dry Storage compartment and therefore is much lighter and larger. The New Wave Swim Bubble is only 8 oz with 20L air capacity vs. the original New Wave Swim Buoy at 10oz with 15L air capacity. Without the storage compartment, there is no strap loop or buckle. However, there is a handle on the bottom that can be used to carry your Bubble during a SwimRun or during a swimming break. If you want to be a safe swimmer there is no better swimmer flotation item to add to your triathlon transition bag. With this fluorescent-colored buoy’s “outer-space” visibility, you won’t need to worry about getting hit by incoming seaplanes, battleships or aircraft carriers, nor will you worry about real-life dangers such as surfers, stand-up paddleboards, or teenagers on jet skis. The New Wave Swim Bubble is the swim safety float you need if you want a clean and simple swim safe buoy. Are you seeing what we are trying to say here? We don’t have the exact numbers crunched, but we are telling you that this New Wave Swim Buoy largely increases your safety in open water. It is a safe and easy way to rest if needed, and it helps you Be Bright and Be Seen. Don’t you want to be safe? The last thing you need is a marine biology intern trying to tag you for research when they mistake you for a member of the beluga family due to the texture of your wetsuit. Then, before you know it, their research is over once they find out you’re an “abnormal species,” so they sell you to a seaquarium and you are stuck performing stunts for tourists, getting paid in sardines. Next thing you know, your sodium levels are through the roof. That is why 9 out of 10 marine biology graduates recommend New Wave Swim Bubble for open water swimming. Just ask them; they will tell you. Bubble dimensions: 16 inches tall x 8 inch diameter.

Smaller than expected, but works awesome. No matter swimming freestyle or flipping on back, float was never in the way and gave a peace of mind... it supported me at 230lbs no problem when I needed a breather. Seems well built and should last a long time.

Outstanding product. I was doing extensive snorkeling alone and my family would lose track of me easily. So to humor them, I bought this to flag myself. Turns out I got very tired one day from new and unanticipated currents and higher waves and it dawned on me I could rest with this. Loved it. Another time my mask malfunctioned and I used this to float and make repairs. Then grandkids arrived and everyone fell in love with it. (I suspect it really helped one of them who was a new snorkeler when his mask got water in it and he was choking a bit.) Grabbed this to recover. Plus, the family loves watching it bob along marking the progress of others. I am ordering another with a different color so we can tell which person is which. A great “plan B” if things go amiss. It does not interfere until you want to dive down. You could easily disconnect it and reconnect, but be sure of the currents and wind first or you may not be able to retrieve it.

Used these for open water swimming in a lake and they worked great. There is no noticeable resistance, once in a while you feel the strap, but that's all. It worked great to grab, float and rest. Would definitely recommend, these provide a great safety in the open water.

This swim buoy was easy to inflate and was very visible when lake swimming. You could also take a break while swimming and hanging onto the buoy. This is an essential item for open water swimming.

It was very easy to inflate. I bought this for an open water swim. It felt very secure and easily supported me in the water when I needed to rest. Great price for piece of mind in the water.

I love these, I have 2. I use them when snorkelling to deter rude full pelt swimmers from crashing into me. Nowdays people don't care, at least this gives them a shock & they usually avoid me. I have seriious disabilities & for me it's an essential aid.I also use when in my outdoor spa as a pillow to give neck support

I have used this device once for open water swim at the lake. The color is very noticable. The device worked as it should. Straps are adjustable and easy to assemble. Since I have only used it once, I can't speak to the longevity of the device. Although, the material seems durable. I plan to use the Swim Bubble on the average of 1-2 times/week for about 3 months (when my schedule is not conducive to open water swim).I researched the Swim Bubble on triathlete sites and it was given high reviews from a trusted and experienced triathlon coach. My intention is to use the Bubble for several seasons. I feel the device will last for many seasons if it is taken cared well. i.e. don't leave in hot car, deflate during off season, etc.I am a female athlete, 5'4", 117 lbs. The belt fits my waist and length of my body just fine.I recommend the Swim Bubble.

Just bought this and have done a few open water swims. As others have said, does not interfere with swim stroke EXCEPT when in high winds AND swimming downwind. Then it blew up onto my back and one of my arms would hit it. Nevertheless I like the visibility and the handle in case I need to stop.
