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.
Amazing quality however not enough leverage to tight it. Way to big for professional swimmers.
One complaint - the new swim tether did not fit into the original holder (seemingly the new one is a tiny bit wider which prevents it to fit in the old holder. Would be nice to know about it in advance. Also - as I assume I am not the only one encountering this issue - why don’t you offer an adapter.
Swim Tether responded to my order immediately and sent updates throughout the packaging and delivery.
I have an Intex rectangular pool so bought the belt and two cords to make a V from the corners so that I could use it since that wasn't an option. Works perfect.
Order processed quickly. Good prices. Items were as described.
Used 2’ long, 1” PVC pipe. Attached to fence using electrical conduit clamp and secured with 3” wood screws into fence posts. Solid. Didn’t need to drill into my travertine. Can remove rod as needed. Tether works as advertised. Awesome.
I was skeptical at first. My brother introduced the idea to me about using the Swim Tether versus a water jet type resistance device. I swim triathlon events and this is a great way to manage my endurance swims. I can speed up or slow down without having to make adjustments to a water flow. It’s also very economical instead of maintaining a gym membership just for the lap pool. It allows me to utilize my own pool more than ever before. I am enjoying my swim tether immensely!!
So glad I found these to replace the broken one!
They work great!
We have been using Swim Tether for about 10 years. W purposely built a small pool to use with the tether. We enjoy our swim workouts and are very happy with the product.
