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.
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!
They were able to make me a custom length and they are local to Georgia which is always great!
We just bought a swim spa and realized a tether is a must have. This was easy to assemble and use. Highly recommended !
Called to order some parts that I needed and spent a bit of time talking with them to make sure I was ordering the correct pieces.
The pieces I needed to order were not in stock because of the age of what I needed, and He understood that and assured me he would have the correct items shipped. I ordered and they came quickly and they were exactly what I needed. Everything was perfect! Good prices, quick shipping, and very knowledgeable people!
We just bought a house with a small pool (33x14) and want to swim more. This has been a great investment in getting some exercise. Works best with Freestyle strike.
Customer service experience was awesome. Needed additional equipment so I made a phone call and within a couple of days had what I needed. Highly recommend!
I use it for longer distance exercise in backyard pool. Competitive swimmer in the household uses it for extra endurance training and technique video analysis in private coaching sessions in backyard pool.
Installation in the umbrella hole in our Baja/tanning shelf meant zero install. It takes less than a minute, put the pole and cord in, belt on - and you swim! Terrific product.
I do not jog in the swim spa but as an amputee , I do need the belt to tether on both sides of the spa.
This belt is perfect,,,, that is why I bought two .... always want a spare
I can't get the rowing arm bracket to fit into the original snap in attachments. And I was wondering if the distance from that metal hook up was supposed to be a little closer than the original brackets?
Appreciated how well they communicated when I made a mistake on my order. Good people.
Great customer service
Product was mailed out right away
I will continue to get these items from this company
Using the swim tether for a few weeks now and it really does allow you to swim for longer without stopping… great priduct
We realized that we’d ordered the wrong Swim Tether set about 3 months earlier when our pool was initially being built. The customer service folks graciously agreed to swap out our set for the correct one for our new pool. So thankful and looking forward to trying it in the new year!
