How To Be a Little More Safe on the Water

Did I mention that Diane and I like to swim up the beach for lunch?  We tow our lunch apparel and funds in a device sold by the International Swimming Hall of Fame.  The ISHOF Safer Swimmer Float is specifically designed to provide a safety aide for open water swimmers, serving three important functions without hindering performance or hindering your stroke.  1) It makes you visible to boaters, jet skiis, kite boarders or other potential human hazards while you are swimming - a little peace of mind on the open water is a good thing.  2)  It can be used as a floatation device when you need it in the case of cramps, dizziness or injury and it can also be used to rescue others - we've been fortunate so far and have not needed this feature. 3) It can also keep your “stuff” safe while you are swimming or allows you to take along your “stuff” on one-way swims across rivers or lakes - yep, this is why we got one. It's a good thing Diane's waist is small enough to get the belt around herself.
