What is a Tow Float?

A tow float is an essential companion for open water swimmers, providing increased visibility and a convenient way to carry small essentials.

While it enhances safety by making you more noticeable to others, it should never be relied upon as a flotation device—always swim within your limits and be confident in your ability to complete the distance before heading into open water.
