Subject: RE: "assist" for open water swim Thanks for all your responses. Brian -- I checked out your link for rescue buoys and this may be the answer as I had wondered how to or what to use as a strap that would not hinder the kick. There are two choices -- the rescue tube and the rescue buoy. In your experience, is one better than the other.
I may have a lake available for open water swimming, but the months for swimming are a bit limited -- it is VERY cold! I will have to check out closer about the swimming around the shore idea. I have a kayak, but finding someone willing to be my rescue at the time I need one is a bit of a challenge.
Great ideas here -- I will let everyone know what I find to be helpful.
