Proper Care and Use Information
Here are some helpful tips for enjoying your Swim Tether products safely and ensuring they last a long time:
-
Use the Cords Carefully: Remember, our swim and row cords are made for gradual resistance, not sudden impacts. So, avoid jumping into water while wearing the belt and tether or holding a row bar. Start your swim gently once you're in the pool and the cord is taut, rather than pushing off the wall. Also, don't stretch the cord more than 50% of its original length to maintain its integrity.
-
Rinse After Use: To keep your equipment in top condition, give all parts a good rinse with fresh water after each use. This helps prevent damage from pool chemicals.
-
Define Your Swim/Row Area: When swimming or rowing, find a steady rhythm that keeps you within a set area. This helps prevent excessive tension on the cord or tether poles, ensuring a smoother and safer exercise experience.
-
Work With the Water: Stay within your defined area and let the water's resistance do the job. You'll be surprised how effective a little effort can be against the water's natural resistance.
-
Water Only: Our products are specially designed for water use. Please don't use them for dry land training or exercises.
-
Store Properly: After use, disassemble your Swim Tether and store it in its protective sleeve in a dry, safe place away from the elements, like a pool house or closet. This helps avoid any tripping hazards and keeps your equipment safe and ready for your next swim.
And a gentle reminder: Swim Tether is a great exercise tool, but it's not a lifesaving device. Enjoy your swim and stay safe!
