We built a relatively small pool so we could heat it all Winter and cool it all Summer. Swim tether allows us to swim in place in our pool. It was easy to install the anchor into the coping, and very easy to swim in place with a pool buoy, snorkel and goggles…just like I use in a lap pool. Even better, my Garmin does a very good job calculating strokes, distance, strokes/minute, etc…all the same stats I get when swimming laps in a longer pool. I am super impressed with the ST3.
To borrow a phrase...
SwimTether: accept no substitute.
I live in Florida where a lot of residential pools are small and only good for cooling off or for the grandkids. With the swim tether, our small pool has turned into a workout pool. Very happy with how natural it feels while “swimming in place”.
Having been a Masters Swimmer all my adult life and having had the first generation of the tether, I am very happy with all the upgrades in the new product.
I’m always happy to show my swim friends the setup, and most always get a “that’s not a workout” comment… but I’m always invite them to swim it… and then it kicks their ass with great positioning and support, the ability to refine swim stroke and improve breathing technique…. Hahah. Many have been inspired to get their own.
Get swimming for life.
