Swim Secure Tow Donut - Safer Open Water Swimming High Viz Item Carrier

Great quality for price.Keeps belongings dry and safe.

This does exactly what I wanted. Keeps keys, phone etc dry and I put my GPS watch in it which produces a better map than when on the wrist. Sometimes I have to check its still there as it doesn't hinder the swim at all. Although sometimes if the tide and wind are strong it can end up beside you but I've used it a few times and find it really useful. When deflated it packs down really small.

This is great and easy to use. I'm relatively new to open water swimming and I've used it a couple of times with breast stroke and front crawl. It seems like it might be awkward to swim with but it's not.The main purpose for me was provide extra safety for swimming in lakes alone but with someone watching from the banks.I did a successful test where I held onto it for a rest so it gives me some reassurance should I get cramp - although from what I've seen it's not advertised for this purpose.Additionally I store a small TG5 (waterproof) camera in the dry compartment. This allows me to take photos from in the water without the hassle of swimming with the camera in my hand and having water drops on the lens. Highly recommended!

I can thoroughly recommend this 'donut' for the requirements of a) securing your keys, phone etc while swimming, and b) providing a visual marker for fellow swimmers, dryside observers, and motorised traffic.I am on my second one now. It feels as if the first had slightly more storage space - but if you want to drag your clothes around then this was never going to be the float of choice.Bear in mind these things do take some getting used to - they will cause a small amount of drag, and when swimming with a current they sometimes catch you up on a wave (mine occasionally wants to jump on my back, or perhaps that was a jellyfish? I'll never know)

Tried it out last night doing a 1hr lake swim. It stored the car key and kept it dry, it was so easy to assemble and as it is behind me when swimming, didn't even notice it when swimming. I was concerned that it might slip off when I was swimming but that didn't happen. Good product, definitely recommend.

I am not very good in a choppy sea yet so i'm sure this will be fine when my speed picks up. I was a bit disconcerted by the bit sticking up so much but it makes it easier to see. Probably adding to the drag too? Checkout some other reviews. I haven't really figured out how it works and there were no instructions; as i blew it up, air seemed to be coming out. I think there's a one way valve in the middle, emptied very easily to let it down. Only used it once so far, not easy to go swimming in the Lockdown

The instructions are basic,it neglects to say you need to pinch the top nozzle in a certain way to inflate the donutThe bottom valve will not allow any air entry at all even with pinching it ,no one in the family could do it.Very cursory reply when asked be manufacturer how to sort it- would NOT recommend,there are better ones on the market

Perfect for open water swimming..... Enough room to keep a bottle of water, keys, and wallet with easy access. For night swims I toss a bicycle light in the waterproof pouch. It's stable and provides a good base for a camera...
