Durham Dawdler May 2011 2:06pm, 25 May 2011 670 posts	Quote Pin Durham Dawdler TRO, are swim caps secure enough to put Garmin's in? I'm always worried about losing it in the lake
TRO Saracen May 2011 2:09pm, 25 May 2011 5,420 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen I put mine with the Garmin strap held down by the goggle strap (igoggle strap splits at rhe back so you can hold it down from either side). For added security I use a child's modelling balloon (thin ones you make giraffes with at kids parties), loop it through the Garmin and tie it to the wetsuit zip, that way if it does come off it's not lost.
