Anyone have ideas as to what would be a good towable personal flotation device for doing an open water swim? What I'm looking for is (1) something that I can use for flotation in the event of an emergency (cramp, extreme fatigue, etc.), (2) something that provides extra visibility, even though I try to avoid high traffic areas, and (3) something that can be pulled with minimal drag, discomfort, and interfence with my stroke.
One possible solution that comes to mind is one of those lifeguard rescue tubes from Kiefer. Another possibility is to make something myself, but the question is how to carry of pull it: tied to the ankle or waist? Or maybe something like a back pack that can be taken off easily? The downside of the back pack would be that it would prevent me from doing back strokes and might even interfere with front crawl strokes if I roll too much.

When I made the "Traversata lago maggiore (Lake Maggiore crossing)" every swimmer must have a yellow light insuffled plastic ball tied to the hip. The plastic ball could carry a couple of person and it does not weight anithing.
