This was one of my favorite purchases last year. The travel swim belt is easy to set up, comfortable to wear, and gives me a great swimming workout even in a small pool. The quality is excellent, and I am very happy with it.
Amazing set up that allows me to swim in the comfort of my own pool! So glad I discovered this :).
This is my second one in a year. The nylon webbing begins to fray at about 6 months. Cheap Chinese material. Don't understand why thel keep selling products with crappy quality materials. What about canvas straps?
Bryan — appreciate the honest feedback, and I'm sorry a strap frayed on you again. That's not what we expect from these, and it's why every Tether carries a 1-year warranty. A replacement belt is already on its way to you, no charge. Fraying like this is rare, but when it happens we make it right — every time.
Anything at all with the new one, email me directly and I'll handle it.

Oh WOW! What a game changer! I thought I had made a mistake getting a swimspa until I got this little gem. It feels very natural like I'm swimming by myself, I don't feel any tension or feel like I'm being held back, just 1 stroke after another after another.
Works really well in SwimSpa - comfortable and can swim as easy or as fast as would like. It also supports the core so good for technique.
Great quality and comfortable. However, I swim open water long distance using a two beat kick . Pool training with the tether I find my feet sinking due to minimal kick and lack of forward momentum. I don’t really want to have to do a flutter kick as it changes my cadence. Ankle straps rather than hip strap may be an option ?? At this point I’m not sure the tether is going to be as helpful as I’d hoped .
I use this belt with two 8 ft lengths of bungie cord on a pool attached to a fence with an eye bolt about 8 feet above pool level. I use it three or four times a week. My swim routine is 220 yards breast stroke (without the tether), followed by 60 full rotations of crawl using the swim tether. I repeat this sequence 4 times. I place the belt low on my hips so that the tether keeps me completely level. The belt is very comfortable. I just purchased my third belt. It dries in the sun, which probably shortens the life of foam over the webbing. So I buy one every two to three years. I also replaced one bungie cord because the clips become brittle from being in the the sun.
We have attached it to the base of a mobile umbrella. It works great, takes a little getting used.
Does exactly what it claims to do. I can swim laps in any pool with virtually no set up.
Got more than I expected. Great service too. Continuous right now I don’t want a sense of accomplishment yet
First, great customer service from Swim Tether. There was some confusion on my part as to what was included with my order. The swim tether team solved the problem promptly and I had the part in just two days.
I use the umbrella hole adapter in our swim shelf umbrella hole and it works great for doing my "laps" in 28 foot pool. Sturdy and well made.
Plate installed easily. A heads up for anyone who purchased a Stealth swim spa…they don’t make a tether system, and the mounting plate that came from the factory is too small for any other tethers. very frustrating!! Swap the plate out for a swim tether and you’re good to go.
I like it. Works as advertised except I paid and did receive screw thread model. Would be nice if there was optional over shoulder clip belts not just waist so u could adjust wear on torso the belt sits. My lowere back wants it not to be belt high which tugs lower back down while I pull upper torso by swimming. Would be better if. Belt was chest hi.
Perfect replacement part. I bought two additional sets after my first order.
Works perfectly. Allows us to swim in place in our 14ft above ground pool. You will need something solid near the pool to anchor to and with a smaller pool be creative in adjusting winding up the slack so you are in the center of you pool while swimming but once set its done! We love it!
Great product and even better customer service
Had ordered a new 6’ tether as plastic hooks had broken on existing tether. Mentioned in my order that is was my third tether in 6 years and requested that extra hooks be sent. Not only did I receive several extra hooks, but an extra tether as well. Great service and thank you.
