I have a big, wide forehead. This swim cap fits me without hiking up during my 40 minute swim session. I have a bright pink and bright yellow. I plan to use the bright yellow for ocean swimming. This is my favorite silicone cap.
Bought my original swim buoy in 2017. Sadly it recently came apart at the seams. Contacted the company to let them know and they instantly replaced it. Absolutely can not fault them.
The buoys them selves are excellent. Clearly visible in the water to other users and they don't get in your way when swimming.
I like the larger buoy. TPU seems like it will be very durable. Bright orange color seems like it will be more visible than my current smaller yellow buoy. What was really nice beyond the good product and prompt delivery is the fact that you included a waterproof phone bag, excellent silicone swim cap and a few other goodies. What a great surprise! I would recommend New Wave to any of my swim buddies.
At first I thought this cap would be too big. My head is on the smaller side and compared to other silicone caps I own this was larger. I decided to try it out in the pool and was pleasantly surprised. After swimming I noticed the inside of the cap was a little more grippy. So hopefully it will stay on for lots more swims!
I love this buoy. The color (neon orange) , size, construction, straps, fit...all are amazing. Even more amazing..the company gladly replaced mine because of a minor issue I had (most likely not the fault of the product)!!
These are the best caps! They're the only ones that stay on so I'm not tugging away throughout my swim.
I swim in the SF Bay at a small beach throughout the year. Because the small group I swim with keeps in the shallow water and swims parallel to the shore, I thought a buoy wasn't warranted (we just stand up). But there are so many novice windsurfers and paddle boarders who aren't aware of us, that the buoy makes me more visible and feel safer. And now I also have an incentive to swim farther! It's easy to use, well made, and effective.
The buoys came much faster than I expected, and with a complimentary yellow cap (yay! more visible!) and little yellow buoy for my waterproof bag, which keeps my car key dry. I was delighted!
Thank you, Andrei Lozovik.
P.S. Took me a while to realize the New Wave Swim Buoy button was an adhesive cellphone grip. ;-)
Great to swim with no worry of straying into deep water. I can always stop and have a little rest, if needed.
I might want to get a longer strap so bubble floats further back. Have those? Thanks!!😊👍🏽
Our family has used New wave buoys for many years. They have been great for being easily spotted by boaters in our lake where we regularly do distance swims. Buoys are light, strong and do not interfere with our swimming while providing a rest support should we ever tire route. Great products and a company that stands behind them post-purchase.
The buy, goggles and cap are all good.
Love the color of my fluo green bubble, but most of all that is robust enough to support me, should I need to use it to help me float. Now I can swim distance and choppy waves, without fearing I might not have the energy to make it back to shore! Also, it is easily repositioned so that I can use a variety of strokes, not just the crawl.
Excelente material and very confortable
One of the best and most useful items I've ever purchased. As an open water swimmer in the Gulf of Mexico it takes a pounding but lasts a long time. Makes me more visible to lifeguards and boaters. Easily holds my weight when needed and I was glad to read on the package that the color may be a deterrent to sharks something people are constantly asking me about. Good price free shipping and you are always throwing in a swim cap and pouch.
Thanks

I reached out to customer service to inquire about the replacement to my original buoy. The response was very fast by SMS, and I was provided with code to complete the new order.
The code generously covered the order of the new buoy, as well as new swimming goggles. I have tried the googles and can attest that they are on par with any of the competitive brands commonly found in stores and online. I did not get to try the new dry bag buoy, however, once I do, will report back.
I have no doubt that it will work as designed. The new 'dry bag' feature is probably the smartest development in signal buoys, allowing you to take necessities with you, and track the swim on your phone/app, brilliant.
Thank again!

it would be better if one could use a pump inside of your mouth to inflate it as with your mouth a lot of the air escapes before you can close the opening
These swim caps are great. I like a lot
These are the first and only silicone swim caps that stay on my big melon. I use them for both pool and open water swimming. I’ve developed a latex sensitivity, so can’t wear latex caps much anymore. So glad I found these!
Excelente product
Great customer service, had some minor issues with my previous buoy, and I was sent another completely free of charge. It’s a great safety device for me.
Muito bom os vossos produtos!
Os produtos da newwave são os melhores do mercado do ramo de natação e maratonas aquáticas. Amo!
I contacted NewWave regarding the popular swim buoy and told them that my buoy had a slow leak on the seam. Without hesitating, Andrei Lozovik, addressed the issue and assured me that he would be sending me a free replacement buoy. My account address was still accurate on the site and my replacement was received within 2 days. I have told many folks this story at Walden Pond in Concord, MA (a local triathlon open-water swim training site). Everyone agrees, in this day and age, we seek companies that stand behind their products and provide a personal touch.
Love them...These buoys are very visable from the shore and the water. Not just for triathletes- keeps recreational swimmers safe, too and provides an easy and fun spot to float and rest rest. Comfortable to use- they do not interfere with swimming! Thanks for the caps and the dry bag, too!
Wore it in a bay off the Pacific Ocean. Comfortable. Held my phone great and kept it dry.
This buoy is perfect for storing your key while you swim. Additionally it provides great visibility to boaters. I feel safer with this on. Does not interfere with swim at all.
