Kayak Swim Kit
I had an idea. When I go kayaking, in the unlikely event that I capsize (which has not happened yet); and in the further unlikely event that I cannot do a self-rescue or tandem-rescue (I have done several of both), then I may have to swim to shore. I have configured the ropes on both ends of my kayak to loop over my shoulder, so both my hands are free to swim.
The idea is, I have some swim aids that I use at the YMCA pool, which increase my speed, including goggles, webbed gloves and short fins. I will put them in a stuff bag, and when I go paddling, I will stow them in a kayak hatch.
Maybe I am over-thinking this situation. Who knows? Maybe someday I will be glad I have them with me.
