Speed Hound Swim Buoy - Open Water Swim Buoy Flotation Device with Dry Bag and Waterproof Cell Phone Case for Swimmers, Triathletes, and Snorkelers. Floats for Safer Swims

Excellent product, company and customer service. I use this bag daily to swim in open water to train for triathlons. It does not leak and helps me stay visible and safe. Buoy also supports my entire body weight to keep me afloat in case of emergency or need to rest. The phone case is leak proof as well. While in the case my entire phone is able to be emerged in water safely. Both phone case and buoy are well made, durable, and are designed well. Buoy inflates easily when blowing it up and deflates quickly when finished. I am very happy with this purchase.

This product works great, I'm so happy we bought it! My wife and I open water swim and wanted to store some items in our bag and increase our visibility for people boating and fishing. After narrowing it down to the Speed Hound, New Wave, and Kiefer buoys, we chose the Speed Hound because it looked like it was the best quality, is more adjustable, and came with a nice phone pouch for additional protection.The buoy itself is great and easy to use, we have not had any issues with leaking or the buoy staying inflated. It does a great job keeping you afloat if you stop for a break. It would be nice if the cap for the air valve had a tip so you can deflate it easier, otherwise you have to use your keys (which are probably in your air-filled buoy) - just a product improvement note. The cord is super adjustable and can go very long so you'll never feel the buoy floating behind you. Great product overall.

I LOVE this product - it is perfect for my swim workouts. For the first time ever, I felt comfortable enough to swim without my husband paddling along side of me. It also works perfect as a flotation device for a rest on those days when you just aren't feeling so strong. I haven't yet tested it with carrying items, such as shoes, etc, so I will update this review once I do.My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because of the extra phone case. I loved this waterproof case so much, but recently it split along the side along the top two zippers and I don't trust only the third zipper to keep water out. I LOVE LOVE LOVED that pouch - it had three zippers and a Velcro flap, you could touch the screen on your phone, and it took great pictures while in the pouch... and now, I cannot find a replica/replacement anywhere :(Other than that, I highly recommend this product!

This is a great product! So what makes it great? It is visible, sticks out in the water like a t... in a punch bowl and it keeps your phone and keys safe and secure. I bought this product for long swims in open water and I don't like to keep my car keys and cell phone in a bag unattended on the beach or pier. You don't feel it (the buoy) and will check occasionally to see if you haven't lost it. I've stopped in the water, turned around to see where my phone and keys were as I was sure that they had fallen off and were lost. The buoy is not lost, it's right behind me! It is your invisible, ace in the hole, phone a friend life saver. I am a long distance triathlon swimmer. My feet, my calfs, my legs cramp up all the time. It's not a rated life saving device, but its a great life saver. I can sit on this thing, take a nap and wait for rescue if I wanted. Its an island of air and I'm sure that the manufacture has tons of disclaimers to the opposite. However, I would buy it again as it is what I need as a swimmer. It buys you time if you get in trouble in the water and provides security for the things that you know shouldn't leave on the beach....

This product is really cool . It will be great to take out to the lake with us . It comes with a Buoy floatation device and a dry bag and waterproof so phone case. The waterproof cell phone case holds the iPhone 6 Plus perfectly . These are also really bright so if they float away you can still see them from far distances . It's adjustable for the buoy to fit around your waist . It's also very light and very compact to take anywhere you want to go . So if you have a boat or just love to go to the lake or any kind of open water this is the perfect thing to take with you so you don't lose your stuff. Disclaimer – I got this product for a discounted price for my honest unbiased review .

Great product; has kept my stuff completely dry and fits a decent amount, no having to leave my wallet, keys or phone on the beach, everything is safe with me. Was concerned the waist strap would rub and mark or damage my wetsuit, no such problems so far and the strap sits really well without moving around or having to be cranked up tight. Feedback from the shore is that it sticks out like a sore thumb which is perfect; definitely feel safer when swimming with it. Air bladder system works great and the buoy sits very high out of the water; in fact my biggest worry is having to check every now and then that it's still there as I hardly feel it.Will update on durability if problems crop up.

This swim buoy is bright & visible. It's a great floatation if you were to need a break. I was surprised that the air bladder was not where the storage space was- like I had seen in similar bouys. I left the buoy inflated overnight and it kept most of its air. The storage pocket is small and would be good for flat things like a phone or wallet but doesn't look like it could accommodate keys. Also the pocket and moisture in it at the end of my swim so I second dry bag is a must for items in the pocket.
