New Wave Swim Buoy Swim Bubble Tow Float — Pink Ultralight 237 ml, Low-Drag Visibility for Open Water & Triathlon

The New Wave Swim Bubble (Pink) is an ultralight tow float that increases visibility and provides emergency floatation for open-water swimmers and triathletes.

Designed for swimmers who want a simple, low-drag safety aid, the Swim Bubble offers bright color and dependable buoyancy without the extra weight or storage pockets of larger tow floats. At roughly 8 ounces, it tows behind you with minimal resistance, helping you stay seen on lakes, oceans, and rivers while giving you a place to rest if needed.

How does the Swim Bubble affect my stroke and speed?

The Bubble is built to minimize drag so it won’t significantly slow your freestyle or backstroke. Its streamlined, buoyant shape trails behind your hips, allowing you to maintain natural body position and rhythm while you train or race.

• Ultralight 8 oz construction for minimal pull
• Low-profile tow design reduces wake and resistance
• Attaches with a thin tether to avoid interfering with leg kick
• Stable buoyancy keeps it from flipping or snagging

Will the Bubble keep me safe during long or solo swims?

The Swim Bubble is a visibility and emergency floatation tool — it helps you rest if you cramp, need to breathe deeply, or wait for help. It is not a replacement for a certified personal flotation device but is a practical addition to your safety kit on open-water outings.

• Bright pink color increases contrast against dark water
• Offers enough buoyancy to support a seated rest in water
• Useful for signaling to boats, kayaks, or shore observers
• Compact size makes it easy to carry on paddlesports

What are the main differences between the Swim Bubble and other New Wave buoys?

The Bubble is a pared-down version of New Wave’s original buoy designed for swimmers who don’t need storage. It gives you larger buoyancy than previous models while removing the dry-bag compartment to save weight and simplify use.

• No dry-bag compartment — lighter and simpler
• Greater buoyant volume compared with earlier compact models
• Trail-friendly design for minimal interference in training
• Durable materials that resist punctures and abrasion

How should I use and maintain the Swim Bubble?

Inflate to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure before each session, secure the tether to your waist or swim belt, and check for leaks or wear regularly. After saltwater swims, rinse with fresh water and dry completely before storage to extend the product’s life.

• Inflate by mouth or pump to firm but not overpressurized
• Attach tether to swim belt or waist loop for towing
• Rinse with fresh water after salt exposure and air dry
• Inspect seams and valves routinely for damage

Who is this for? The New Wave Swim Bubble (Pink) is ideal for open-water enthusiasts, triathletes, and solo swimmers who want a lightweight, high-visibility tow float without extra storage. It suits athletes who prioritize minimal drag during interval training, swimmers who value an easy-to-carry safety option for paddlesports, and anyone looking to increase their visibility to watercraft while exercising outdoors. Remember: the Bubble enhances safety but does not replace a certified life jacket when one is required.
