The Fetch 50 Swimming Tow Float - The Swimmers Choice
With double air chambers, a nutrition pouch and an extra wide waist belt the Fetch 50 Swim Float ticks all the boxes. Made from tough nylon in Hi-Vis Fluorescent Yellow this float is an important part of any wild swimmers kit. Be Safe - Be Seen!
Quality Materials, Quality Construction
Nutrition Pouch
The external mesh pouch with an elasticated closure 5 x 6 inches and is perfect for some sweets, a gel, energy bar or chocolate. You can also use it to store a small waterproof camera (tethered to the bag) or an inhaler or other medical device (placed inside a bag to stop getting wet).
Emergency Whistle
A loud whistle is cleverly built into the clip that secures the dry bag together. The strong clip also has 2 extra D rings for attaching another strap or similar for carrying the float, or using it like a rucksack.
Double Air Chambers
There are two separate air chambers, so in the unlikely event one fails you have a back up. Each chamber has a high quality one way valve. Simply blow into it to inflate and then unscrew it to almost instantly deflate the bag.
Dry Bag for Your Things
Keep all your things dry inside. Simply fill the space and then roll the top down 3 times or more and secure with the clip. You can store a wallet, keys, flip-flops, t-shirt and shorts. For expensive devices we recommend using the Fetch 50 Phone case, so you have 2 levels of protection.

Super lightweight you won't even notice it is there.

1. Great for holding stuff and keeping it dry. 14 days in Bonaire: wallet, keys, phones never had an issue. I did double bag everything inside but it was never wet inside when I opened things up.2. Was a great float when legs got tired (had knee replacement surgery 6 months ago and wanted a back up in case they hurt or I got tired)3. Spot Me: my wife could basically spot me off shore quite easily. A nice safety feature. I figured if I got caught in a current etc. that would be a good idea as well to float and or be visible. Also boats would see you easier as well.4. Rope: I tied a rope to it in order to ensure I didn't lose it or my stuff inside. This could hamper diving deeper when skin diving and getting in the way of snorkeling but worth it. I double tied it (one to a spot that looks to be meant for tying it up to shoulder strap. It seemed to work well but I didn't want to risk losing my stuff so did a back up tie spot. It seems well made so maybe I was being too cautious but hey - its my valuables in there.5. It was quite wavy at times and I could easily get on top to look around. I mean lean over it as a support . I'm about 6' and 240 lbs. So pretty good.6. Held up the whole trip with no issues.7. I used it tie my son's GoPro to it in ase I dropped it by accident. Worked great.8. Seems to have a double inflated area inside on top of triple folding the end. Great idea. Use both sides for best results.9. Great way to insulate bringing liquor home in suitcases. As it is inflatable inside x 2, it helps protect what is inside. I put some clothing in too. Had three bottles of Curaco come home via checked luggage without any problmes. Added bonus is that if it had cracked/broken, it would probably have contained the mess/liquid.Downside1. You really need to fold over the edge at least 3-4 times. Sometimes it lost air. I thought I had punctured it but realized this and not equally inflating both internal parts might have been the issue. Once I started doing this - no problems. Really my own learning curve and I could usually inflate while on in the water.Bonus: I could float into shallow water easily and not get bumped up on rocks. I could also float over coral reef areas without concern of damaging them (or me).Bonus: could carry gear inside to and from the hotel to the water.Bonus: many fish and even wild dolphins in Bonaire seemed interested in and would come up to examine it at times to my surprise.Would I buy again? Yep. Just not having to leave anything if value on the beach/car etc made it worth it.Very pleased with the product and glad I took the chance with it.

Robust and keeps things dry and me floating! only small downside is the strap doesn't rotate around the body as easily as some.

Used in open water swim for first time today. I like to collect trash while I swim and the outside pocket is great for storing it along with my gels. No leaking! Stayed buoyant and very comfortable to wear.

Easy to use and a great neon color to stand out against! Used for open water swim and kept my keys and phone perfectly dry during my training. Easy to inflate and deflate thanks to valve system.

I was skeptical. I’m training for my first full Ironman and throwing myself into open water swimming. I swim with a kayaker and I read online that it is smart to have something around your waist for visibility / if I get hit in the head by a giant fish or something and pass out, my kayaker will be able to see my limp body (lol). I thought the little yellow guy would slow me down!! But no, he’s amazing!!! He feels sturdy like a tube, the stitching seems high quality, and the handles are really convenient. I also like how I can put him on the shortest setting and my feet barely kick him ( I am pretty short). A normal sized person wouldn’t kick him.Big swim today, and I was thinking the whole time how I would profess my love for my new little yellow guy. He was great.Idk about the dry bag component. I’m a bit skeptical that it will actually be dry in there. TBD.

The Buoy bag arrived on time, quality is good, and works almost as expected.Pros:- The valves are good and safe to use, it looks very professional- Staff inside the dry back remains dryCons:- The string is too short, if it was adjustable like the belt or 10cm longer, it will make it more usable- The nutrition bag is too small. if it was bigger, it could allow to put a small 500ml fresh water bottle in it, what could make a significant difference when you swim in the sea.

Great, easy to use. Love the dry bag bit so I can take my phone and keys with me and not worry about leaving them on the beach.

I am a a year around open water swimmer in the Puget Sound. I like to know the temperature of the water. I ordered this tow float because it has an outside mesh pocket. I wanted to secure my thermometer in an outer pocket instead of having to either open the bag and stick a wet thermometer in or run back and put in on shore. I was disappointed to find the pocket was very small and did not accommodate the length of my thermometer. I am not sure why it is called a hydration pocket. There is no way you could put even a tiny water bottle in it.The bag itself is large and sturdy with reinforced side seems. It looks as though it is rugged. It has 2 inflatable bladders, which is a nice feature. The valves are threaded and close OK. They are near to impossible to open if you have cold.hands after finishing a cold water winter swim.The end folds down to allegedly keep your gear dry. It still gets damp inside so you have to put your phone in a water tight container.The price is right. It is a lot more sturdy than tow floats that are smaller and thinner.I am only giving 4 stars because of the small pocket and the fact that it is very difficult to deflate with cold hands.

If you enjoy swimming in open water, you know that it's recommended that you swim with a bright buoy on the surface, both to make you more visible, and to offer additional flotation if you get tired. This buoy accomplishes both, plus it has a small mesh pocket for gels or other small forms of energy/nutrition on the go, and the whole buoy can be used as a dry bag to carry your car keys, a few small clothing items, phone/sunglasses, or other items that aren't great to swim with otherwise. Be aware you'll have to open the air chamber to access these, so plan on not having access until you're out of the water.NOTE that this is not a surface buoy for diving - it is meant to stay close behind a surface swimmer.

I received the my swim buey in a timely manner, but I when I inflated it I noticed a small slice of the material letting air out so unfortunately I have not been able to use it. The product seems good however maybe the one I got never was checked for any quality issues.
