Triathlete’s Secret Weapon: This Swim Buoy Saves Lives AND Stores Your Phone & Keys
"When hypothermia hit at Mile 0.8, hugging this buoy gave me 90 seconds to regroup – and finish the race."
— Mark Jennings, 3x Ironman finisher (Lake Tahoe, 2024)
Seventy percent of new triathletes experience panic or cramps in open water. While pools have lane ropes and walls, lakes and oceans offer only waves and uncertainty. That’s why races like the 2025 Gansu Triathlon now mandate swim buoys – not as accessories, but as non-negotiable survival gear.
Lifesaving Safety Features
Triathlon swimming courses are typically set in open waters like rivers and lakes, where dangers lurk around every corner. The honeydrybag Swim Buoy stands out with its high-visibility fluorescent yellow design. From afar, it acts as a beacon, ensuring that rescue teams, boats, and fellow athletes can easily spot you, significantly reducing the risk of collisions.
When fatigue sets in or cramps strike mid-swim, the buoy’s exceptional buoyancy becomes a literal lifesaver. Crafted from high-density buoyant material, it has been tested by professional institutions to support up to 80 kilograms. Even when you’re completely exhausted and lean on it, the buoy keeps your head above water, buying you precious time until help arrives or you regain your strength. Many athletes have shared that this buoy gave them the confidence to push through tough moments and finish the swimming leg safely.
