Swimming Tow Floats

Swimming tow floats are one of the most popular and important pieces of open water swimming gear. They are designed to make you more visible to other water users and reduce the chances of being hit by a boat when out swimming. Swimming tow floats often feature a dry bag compartment to let you take some gear with you on your swim. Popular items are car keys or a towel.
