Why the ST3

🌊

The Most Natural Stroke

Triple-rod fiberglass construction delivers 39 inches of smooth, progressive flex. The pole moves with you — no jarring stops, no feeling locked in place. Swim all four strokes naturally.

🏊

Train Like Open Water

Triathletes, distance swimmers, and coaches choose the ST3 because the resistance profile mimics real-world conditions. Build endurance and refine technique without leaving home.

🔧

Simple Setup. No Plumber.

Mount the base to your deck. Drop in the pole. Clip the cord to your belt. That's it. No electricity, no plumbing, no contractor. Works with any pool or swim spa.

How It Feels

Most tethered swimming systems fight your stroke. The ST3 doesn't. Three interlocking fiberglass rods create a progressive flex curve — light resistance at the start of your pull, building naturally as you extend. The result is a swimming rhythm that feels earned, not forced.

Freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly — the ST3 handles all four strokes because the flex is long enough to follow your body's natural arc. That's why competitive swimmers and triathletes prefer it over shorter poles.

Built to Stay Outside

UV-resistant fiberglass won't fade, crack, or degrade in direct sunlight. 316 stainless steel fittings resist pool chemicals and saltwater. The Dynamic Stretch Cord is EPDM rubber rated for tens of thousands of cycles.

Leave it installed year-round. The ST3 is designed for the elements — not your garage.
