I bought the swim tether system to work on recovery from shoulder surgery. However I had the wrong size to hook it up. Instead of the usual call and never talk to a human, I was able to speak with an actual person who took care of everything I needed. I was a pleasure to deal with a person who cared to make it I right.
Tom @ Swim Tether offers great customer service. I ordered replacement parts for my tether and he shipped them to me quickly!
What a delight to work with a company thats 'focused' on customer needs!! I can say that over my youth of 72 yrs, this was the first! I had been saddled with equipment that wasn't ever going to work in my swim spa (sold by a pool company)... After returning the equipment at my expense I reached out and discovered I could order directly from your company and was elated with the response! I received exactly what I needed for the rowing bars, a courtesy that this world needs much more of! Thank you Brent!
I been using my tether 1-2 days/week for a couple years. I love being able to mix it in at home with lap swimming at the local pool. I also love the flexibility of mixing in a mask, snorkel, and fins for an awesome workout. Thanks for a great product and even better customer service!
I bought my first swim tether a few years ago, not knowing what to expect. I was very happy with its comfort and stability, and I've enjoyed using it to get exercise in my 12' round above-ground pool!
I’ve tried a few different brands, however, this is hands down the best one ever. I highly recommend this swim tether.
Thank you Brent for cutting the rowing bars to the perfect size for my Marquis swim-spa!! Its been a pleasure learning how to exercise in water! Its slow going and the various lengths have helped me decide which cord is best for increasing my strength gradually!! Sure wish Marquis had put a lot more of the hooks around this swim-spa! Sincere thanks for ALL your efforts in turning around a frustrating event with generously working with me!! Greatly appreciated! Warmest Regards, Christine Banta
Did free replacement when I received the incorrect length of requested tethers. Can't beat that. Definitely would recommend as the customer service is above and beyond what I ever expected. Great and responsive company.
Works well if you follow the directions and mount it high enough. Very pleased to be swimming in my own pool on my schedule.
The swim tether is perfect for me. We can’t afford a swim spa and the swimmable portion of my pool is only about 15 ft. The swim tether allows me to do laps and get my workout in. Love it!
Ordered a pair of 2’ and 3’ stretch cords to replace the originals that started cracking after 7 yrs of regular use. Arrived quickly and accurate to my order.
I have a 24 foot long rectangle-shaped pool. I can swim 100 laps in 20 minutes haha! My Swim Tether allows me to wear my fins and use a kick board, so my workout is expanded and increased. I’ve used my Swim Tether since 2018, and had worn out the belt. During the summer of 2024, the company kindly sent me a new belt at a discount. I will be a customer for life!
Easy to set up, works well. Belt is very comfortable, the neoprene is a nice touch. So happy to be swimming in my backyard whenever I want instead of getting up at 4:30am to hit the local pool on my way to work.
We love our swim tetters. Product is excellent and we use it on our small pool, works great.
It’s amazing and works great. I actually feel like I’m swimming through the water. But then when I look up, I’m still in the same place. I get a fantastic workout while enjoying every minute of it.
The shipment was quick. The clips are a fit and greatly needed.
Thanks
We have not install the system yet, however they shipped it very fast and we got a lot of advise about how and where to install it.
Using the Swim Tether has allowed me the freedom to train at home rather than driving to the gym only to find the pool full. I enjoy doing 10 stroke acceleration intervals. The rubber cord than slowly pulls me back to my original starting point. I also use the 8ft cord to jog with my 70 pound pup prior to my swims. It’s stronger than I expected! My Garmin 935 also records my strokes and estimates my distance fairly accurately. Our Metro2 Relay is on Facebook. All First Responders & Military are invite. Please check it out!!
This year we installed an 8' x 20' "container" pool - for those who don't know this is a SeaCan shipping container converted into a pool. Our pool has a max depth of 4' with a 10' length and a couple of shallower shelves at one end for the grandkids and sitting/lounging. We also have a 44" high railing that surrounds the container. I submitted a drawing of our setup to Swim Tether and Thomas was very helpful instructing where to mount our 6" x 6" post for the anchoring system. At his direction I installed the post 18" from the railing (at the edge of the pool) and at the height of the pool deck on our 4' deep section. The system works great and the pole while it does bend does not contact our railing which I wanted to avoid. We ordered the ST3 system as weren't sure which of the bungee lengths we would need. While the 4' cord works I found the 6' cord was perfect for front crawl, back crawl and back stroke. The 8' cord is too long for front crawl (I started contacting our shallower section) but does work for breast and back stroke. I was pleasantly surprised as to how quickly I adapted to the system and the strokes feel very natural. As you're not moving through the water there is more resistance as you swim however this is just a matter of scaling your workout accordingly. I'm really excited about this system as it will now allow us to get in meaningful swim workouts in our small pool. I'd highly recommend this system for anyone interested in swim fitness in a smaller pool!
