Why Swim Tether
The Smartest Way to Swim at Home
Swim Tether turns any pool into a personal swim lane — for a fraction of the cost of jet systems, endless pools, or swim machines.
The Benefits
Why Swimming Is the Best Exercise You're Not Doing
Full-Body Workout
Swimming engages every major muscle group while raising your heart rate. One motion, total-body results.
Joint-Friendly
Water supports your body weight, reducing stress on joints by up to 90%. Perfect for rehab and aging athletes.
Burns Serious Calories
An hour of swimming burns 400–700 calories — comparable to running, without the impact.
Stress Relief
Water exercise releases endorphins and reduces cortisol. It's fitness that actually makes you feel calmer.
Works for Everyone
From rehab patients to competitive swimmers, ages 8 to 80 and beyond. Adjustable resistance fits any fitness level.

What Can You Do?
More Than Just Swimming
Cardio & Endurance
Swim Workout
Clip the belt around your waist and swim any stroke — freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke. The elastic cord creates smooth, progressive resistance that keeps you in place without yanking or jerking.
Pair with: Pool Buoy or Kickboard for targeted training.
Strength & Toning
Upper Body Workout
Attach the Arm Workout Handles to an ST1 or ST2 system for biceps, triceps, chest, and back exercises. Handles also work with the Anchor Strap (sold separately or included in the STT Travel Kit) tied to any fixed point, or clipped to row exercise hardware in equipped swim spas.
Swim spa owners: The Row Exercise Kit with row bars and ankle cuffs adds a full rowing workout to your swim spa.
Rehab & Recovery
Lower Body Workout
Attach ankle straps to an ST1 system for targeted leg work — kicks, flutter kicks, water walking. Straps also work with the Anchor Strap (sold separately or included in the STT Travel Kit) tied to any fixed point, or clipped to row exercise hardware in equipped swim spas.
Pair with: Pool Buoy or Kickboard for lower body isolation.
