Designed with the at-home athlete in mind, Swim Tether is a no-excuses upgrade to your swimming pool. Simply install our state-of-the-art Swim Tether equipment to your home pool or spa in minutes, and begin a challenging workout regime today.
A swim tether is a piece of equipment used for stationary swimming or "swimming in place". It typically consists of a long elastic cord or bungee cord with one end attached to a stationary point such as a pool deck, pool ladder, or an anchor, and the other end attached to the swimmer's body, usually around the waist.
The swimmer then swims against the resistance of the cord, which helps to simulate the feeling of swimming in open water or to help develop swim-specific strength and endurance. Swim tethers can be used by swimmers of all levels, from beginners to professionals, and are commonly used for training purposes or for rehabilitation from injuries.
They are also sometimes used for open water swim training in pools where there is not enough space for continuous swimming laps.

Next, drill a 1-inch hole in the center of the post at least 3" deep and glue or epoxy the plate into the hole and let cure.
Installation should be within 1-2 feet and vertical with the side of the above ground pool.

Step 2: Measure and Mark
Determine the best location for your install and mark. Ideally, the hole should be set back 6-8" from the edge of your pool.Mark the drill bit with a piece of tape to indicate a drilling depth of 3".
Step 3: Drill and Clean
Start slowly with the drill perpendicular to the drilling surface and continue until the hole depth reaches your 3" mark. Clean out the hole of any dust and debris.
Step 4: Check Fit
Once the hole is clean, insert the plate to check for fit and any adjustments the hole may need prior to installing.
Step 5: Install
Apply a modest amount of hydraulic cement or outdoor project adhesive to both the hole and stem of the base plate.
Press firmly and evenly into the hole while wiping away any excess adhesive. Make sure the Swim Tether logo is aligned the way you want.
