How can I stay safe when open water swimming?

Open water swimming can feel exhilarating and it's a great way to stay fit, but safety should always be your priority. The best way to stay safe is by always swimming with someone and investing in a Swim Buoy, which is a device designed to increase swimmer visibility and serve as an additional form of flotation. Swim Buoys are especially important if you're swimming in deep water or in areas with heavy boat traffic. Always use caution when entering open water and make sure to familiarize yourself with the local laws that pertain to swimmers. Swimming can also be more enjoyable when there's less stress, so taking precautions like these will help keep you feeling relaxed as you enjoy your time out on the water.
