A great experience with very pleasant customer support.
Prompt knowledgeable help with my problem.
I wish that all customer support was this easy.
Seems much higher quality than the one I had to replace. I am still trying to figure out how to keep it tight, but I hope it lasts as long as it looks like it will - plan to get many years of regular use out of it.
An excellent way to get an effective swim workout at home
I’m extremely pleased with my Swim Tether swim tether. It allows you to swim in place while maintaining a very natural swimming sensation, thanks to the progressive resistance of the elastic cord and the flexibility of the pole.
What really impressed me, though, is the comfort while swimming. The belt is very comfortable to wear and, after a few minutes, it becomes almost unnoticeable. You can focus entirely on your stroke, pace, and technique without feeling restricted or uncomfortable.
Another major advantage is the simplicity of the installation. Setting up the Swim Tether is quick and straightforward, with no complicated installation or special equipment required. It makes it very easy to get started and enjoy a workout almost immediately.
I also really appreciate the training tips and workout programs provided by Swim Tether. They are a valuable resource for varying your workouts, improving endurance, and making steady progress.
The design feels solid and well thought out, the system is simple and quiet to use, and the results are impressive. It’s a great way to turn your pool into an effective training space without having to install a swimming-in-place system.
I highly recommend Swim Tether, both for regular training and simply for getting more out of your pool. A fantastic discovery and, in my opinion, an excellent investment!
Purchased as a gift for my husband. Install was relatively easy. Works well. Would recommend.
ST3 is really bringing what was missing to really enjoy my swim spa and get back to everyday training.
The build quality is obvious when you unpack it. You can tell that a lot of attention was given to details.
On top of that, delivery was very fast and reliable. I made a mistake when ordering by selecting a standard fitting instead of a narrow one, and Brent was super helpful and responsive. That was even a lot of fun to exchange emails with him and he clearly knows what he is doing. I'm happy that my thumb and 10 rappen went famous over the internet :) The beginning of glory :)
Overall experience : recommended 300% !
Setup very easy with the wood deck base. Took 30 mins.
The swimming experience is really good. The long pole holds your hips high in the water. It is very easy to swim with.
I have been using the Swim Tether for over five years and I actually gave up my Swim, Spa and endless, pool noise and current to use the Tether.
I highly recommend it. I listen to books on tape for about an hour every morning swimming. It’s very easy and quiet and maintenance free.
I take it on vacations and often snap it onto a ladder at any swimming pool and can swim anywhere very easily and I can take my lap pool anywhere, ha ha
These replacements for the originals work exactly as they should. The original ones lasted for seven years so hopefully the new ones do also
I bought the swim belt and two of these cords to tether to pool fence post to form a “V” - works perfect! Customer service was awesome. I accidentally put the run belt in my cart, sent an email and they immediately corrected for me!
This was one of my favorite purchases last year. The travel swim belt is easy to set up, comfortable to wear, and gives me a great swimming workout even in a small pool. The quality is excellent, and I am very happy with it.
Amazing set up that allows me to swim in the comfort of my own pool! So glad I discovered this :).
This is my second one in a year. The nylon webbing begins to fray at about 6 months. Cheap Chinese material. Don't understand why thel keep selling products with crappy quality materials. What about canvas straps?
Bryan — appreciate the honest feedback, and I'm sorry a strap frayed on you again. That's not what we expect from these, and it's why every Tether carries a 1-year warranty. A replacement belt is already on its way to you, no charge. Fraying like this is rare, but when it happens we make it right — every time.
Anything at all with the new one, email me directly and I'll handle it.

Oh WOW! What a game changer! I thought I had made a mistake getting a swimspa until I got this little gem. It feels very natural like I'm swimming by myself, I don't feel any tension or feel like I'm being held back, just 1 stroke after another after another.
Works really well in SwimSpa - comfortable and can swim as easy or as fast as would like. It also supports the core so good for technique.
Great quality and comfortable. However, I swim open water long distance using a two beat kick . Pool training with the tether I find my feet sinking due to minimal kick and lack of forward momentum. I don’t really want to have to do a flutter kick as it changes my cadence. Ankle straps rather than hip strap may be an option ?? At this point I’m not sure the tether is going to be as helpful as I’d hoped .
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.
