On that fourth of July weekend lives were changed. I was compelled to design the SWIMMING BUDDY.

Life vest for floatation. Swimming Buddy for Visibility.

All are primary reasons to wear the SWIMMING BUDDY.

Add that Critical Layer of Visibility to your Life Vest.

 

The VISIBILITY of those immersed in the water to watercraft operators or their spotters

is sometimes very difficult. The SWIMMING BUDDY helps enhance the VISIBILITY of your children after a fall from their jet-ski, tube, canoe, boat, kayak or swimming along the shoreline. As each new life vest “USCG THINK SAFE BOOKLET” reads, “In rough water, a wearer’s face may often be covered by waves.” 

 

The SWIMMING BUDDY was presented before the MICHIGAN SENATE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE (7/15/09) to bring attention to the need of the life vest accessory invention. The SWIMMING BUDDY is not a floatation device, the SWIMMING BUDDY is solely used as a VISIBILITY enhancer. The SWIMMING BUDDY simply clips to any standard life vest strap working on a stick bobber concept, only weighing 1.6 ounces, 19” in length, 2.5” diameter of RE-CYCLED Polyethylene, a 1” strip of AMERICAN NATIONAL SAFETY INSTITUTE reflective tape at the top and a 1” snap S clip; the SWIMMING BUDDY does not impede the functionality

of a life vest.

 

I slowed my boat to leave less wake, the missed calculation left a seventeen year old  permanently dismembered  and a traumatized father frantically searching for the seven year old who had been thrown into the water at impact. During the rescue had my reverse failed this accident would have been worse. I am on a mission to bring VISIBILITY of our children while in the water. The SWIMMING BUDDY is manufactured by fellow AMERICANS in EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN. USA.
