Reliable Outdoor Gear Swimming Belt - for Stationary Resistance Training/Endless Pool (with Drag Parachute and Elastic Tether) - Adult, Kid, Pro, Amateur use

This is one of the best things I have ever bought on Amazon. Quite apart from the premium service provided by the seller its such a simple, effective device. We have an 7m in-ground pool that was only ever used for summer swimming as its just not big enough for a decent workout. I'd looked into ways of making the pool more useful for adults - including "swimjets" etc - but these were restrictively expensive.But by clipping this bungee cord onto the middle of the leading edge of my pool cover and retracting the pool cover onto the roller (thus raising the bungee about two feet above water level) and then slipping into the Velcro belt I am able to swim and swim and swim and not go anywhere other then the deepest point in my pool. Very simple and very effective. I do feel a bit like a mouse in a wheel as I paddle away but the improved results from spending appx 20 minutes just swimming without any break are enormous. The pull from the bungee is gentle (you don't suddenly spring backwards when you stop swimming) and there is no discomfort (although those with a waist measurement above 40 inches may struggle to get the belt on - bigger belts might be available).All in all this a great product and turns a small-sized family pool into a proper place to get a decent daily workout.My only regret is that I didn't think of it first!

Suprised how well this works !! Use with waterproof speaker (£29) and a lap time app (free) and you can simulate a 25 or 50m pool suprisingly well. I have attached about 4ft from pool edge and around 10ft above ground and is way better than i expected it to be! Can genuinely now use 7.5m pool for swimming without paying a fortune for endless pool system (plus running costs).

This works pretty well. I attach it to the pool stairs and it doesn't get in the way at all. I do find that it's much harder swimming in place than regular swimming: I assume this is because your arms have the full resistance of the water as it's not moving. The first time I had to stop for a rest after about a minute! It's got better with practice. I have to remind myself not to try to pull against the tether all the time but to take it slowly. I feel that it simulates regular swimming better if I use a pool buoy or some other buoyancy device. It's excellent for doing sprints pulling against the cord for as long as you can and taking breaks in between. All in all it's a good and cheap way to make a little home pool much more useful but I still go to the 50m public pool once per week.

I was really excited to get this product to be able to swim in our rather small pool on holiday. I had watched a few videos of them in action and the idea is simple enough.My biggest gripe with this particular tether is the difficulty in securing it somewhere outside of the pool. It comes with a small loop on the non waist band end and this was hard to find somewhere to tether it too. I enfeebled up having to use extra rope or strapping to get it working in the end.The elasticity is good and you can swim for as long as you want in a really small pool!

This is a good product for tethering a swimmer when swimming in a confined pool. You have to adjust the tether anchor point for different speeds of swimming, obviously. SO planning is necessary before each swim. However, in our household the cord is attached to the swimmer at the belt end, and another family member stands on a step ladder holding the other end .... obviously the ladder position is easily adjusted for faster or slower swimmingWorks great during this time of lockdown!

This is a brilliant piece of kit to use in a swim spa. I have an Hydropool 14 foot model and this makes swimming a lot more pleasurable. The only thing I would say is that it would be nice to be able to adjust the length, however still like it a lot!

This is a fantastic product. It enables my daughter to complete a swimming workout in a small pool. She loves it and says the resistance it provides makes her fell like she's had a proper workout. She is able to use fins, pool Bouy etc with ease

Bought this for my son who is a competitive swimmer and obviously can't train with his club at the moment. We have a small pool & this has been a great solution for now.
