Common Questions
Our cord calculator is quite accurate, and going one size longer gives you flexibility. If you end up needing a different length, just reach out — we'll get you sorted. Cords can also be DIY adjusted to a shorter length by unscrewing the end clips, cutting to size, and re-assembling.
Every order ships with your selected pole, one stretch cord, a swim belt, an anodized aluminum carabiner, and a nylon carry bag. Adding an install base is optional — choose one if you need it, or skip it if you already have one mounted. Every concrete deck base and threaded wood deck base also ships with a rubber plug that caps the base when the pole isn't installed.
The Swim Tether works in virtually any pool — in-ground, above-ground, swim spas, and plunge pools. The key is having a solid surface near the water to mount the base: concrete, wood, composite decking, or an Arctic Spa rim. Not sure about your setup? Send us a photo and we'll help.
Yes. Simple setup. No plumber. No electrician. The concrete base needs a drill with a masonry bit. The wood deck base drills in and is secured with an included heavy-duty nut. The Arctic Spa Adapter threads directly into the built-in receiver — no drilling at all. We include step-by-step instructions with every order.
