Main functions of an open-water buoyWhen swimming in open-water, you are strongly advised to use a buoy so that boats and the rescue services can find you easily. Are you tired or cramping up? The buoy also serves as a resting base. A whistle is attached to the buoy so you can signal your presence audibly if necessary.
RefuellingThe mesh pocket is positioned on the submerged side of the buoy, in the water, to keep your supplies cool!

For an open-water buoy, you need to pay attention to the closure:
- place your belongings at the bottom of the buoy, centring them if possible,
- close the two buckles, making sure that the air between the two chambers escapes to avoid water entering when you swim,
- inflate the 2 chambers to the same psi, by mouth.
The buoy strap should be adjusted to position the buoy above the knees and behind the thighs when swimming on your stomach.
Before/AfterThe buckles have been designed so that the buoy can be carried like a backpack before and after your open-water swimming sessions.
