I had absolutely no idea you could even put things in a tow float, so I'm super excited to choose one now that might work for me. I've found a managed spot to go to for my first swim and a tow float is an essential requirement there. Just need to get over that fear now that something huge with big teeth is lurking at the bottom of the water just waiting for me and only me.... 🤪
