My first but not the last Swift Kayak
I bought this first Swift Kayak several years ago. I had been looking at them for a few years prior and longed to have one. I have never regretted making that purchase. The boat performs very well as a light touring boat and the high quality and great looks make me proud to be a member of the Swift family.
