The Swim It
For these gift ideas, just add water.
For access to all of our training, gear, and race coverage, plus exclusive training plans, FinisherPix photos, event discounts, and GPS apps, sign up for Outside+.
Designed to make open-water training safer, the Swim It attaches around your leg. When you need help, just pull an attached cord to deploy a life jacket that will keep you afloat. Although the Swim It is race-legal, once deployed a competitor is technically disqualified. But the point is to survive in dire situations—not to PR.
