Features and tips for use

Regan Andrews, Team in Training Triathlon Coach:

"I have used Aquaspotter in several bodies of water including lakes, sounds and oceans.  As each type of water is different Aquaspotter works beautifully in all scenarios.  I live on a lake which has many motor boats and the boaters say they could see the flag at a distance.  They remarked on what a great idea it was as it showed them something or in my case ‘someone’ was ahead.  When used in the sound and the ocean the flag was long enough to be seen by lifeguards as it cleared the swells and waves.  Even when in full rotation of my stroke I didn’t notice or feel the flag getting caught in the water. 

Aquaspotter is a fabulous addition to my training paraphernalia and I will no longer swim in the open water without it!  It is comfortable to wear and frankly I don’t even know it is there.  I love the added safety it gives me knowing that there is a flag that boaters and other swimmers can see.  It is a must have for any open water swimmer!”
