We always swim with the Swim buoy for visibility and we advise for using a wet suit
Guides on the trip will swim with lifeguard safety buoys that are made for saving people ashore and there will be a boat following the group.
Guides also have an open water lifeguard test, but you are still responsible for yourself, and we all take care of each other when we swim together.
