Open Water Swim Buoy Collection

Stay safe and visible with a premium open water swim buoy from BuddySwim – trusted by swimmers worldwide and available in South Africa exclusively at Ocean Trade Supplies.

Why You Need an Open Water Swim Buoy

Open water swimming is an incredible experience – a powerful combination of endurance, nature, and personal challenge. But unlike pool swimming, open water conditions can be unpredictable. That’s where an open water swim buoy becomes essential.

An open water swim buoy (also known as a safety buoy for open water swimming) provides two key functions: it keeps you visible to boats, lifeguards, and other swimmers, and it gives you something to rest on in the event of fatigue or cramps. It’s a must-have safety companion for all open water swimmers – whether you’re training, competing, or exploring new waters.
