New Wave Swim Buoy is a company that produces brightly colored inflatable swim buoys that are designed to enhance swimmer visibility in open water, keep their belongings dry, and provide a safe companion.
Founded in 2012 by John Mix who is also the founder of FINIS Inc.
Initially, the company focused on producing personal swim gears, but later shifted its focus to swim buoys.
They launched one of the first inflatable swim buoys as an alternative to traditional swimmer's safety gear, which was bulky and difficult to manage while swimming.

The main purpose of a swim buoy is to improve swimmer visibility in open water and provide a safe place to store personal belongings without slowing down the swimmer.
Most swim buoys come with an adjustable waist belt that secures the buoy to the swimmer's waist. Some models also come with a chest strap option that can be more secure but less comfortable.
The swim buoys are not designed to be used in the pool. They are designed for open water and rough conditions.
To pack the swim buoy, first, deflate it by opening the valve, pressing it against the buoy, and squeezing the air out. Then fold it neatly and pack it in the provided storage bag, or the dry bag if you have the upgraded model.
In case of a puncture, you can repair your swim buoy with a puncture repair kit or duct tape. However, if it's beyond repair, you can purchase a replacement bladder from New Wave Swim Buoy or dispose of it responsibly.
