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

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  Does exactly what I was hoping for, allowing me to stay in one position while swimming. Granted the slight pull back from the cord causes slight differences but the feel of swimming laps is still there. Even my daughter who just start pre swim team at 11 years old could use it just fine.

My apartment pool isn't nearly long enough to swim laps. I had used a similar device when swimming competively in high school. This is well made with high quality materials. I fasten it to one of the railings poolside. I have used it for a week about 45 mins/ day. I would recommend rinsing it with freshwater after use. I would also recommend not storing in direct sunlight (even if you don't live in the desert). I have not used the drag 'chute yet. I am really impressed thus far. I have had more than a few people ask me about it since I started using it. It arrived on time, packaged appropriately. It was a great value as well.

This is a difficult review because although in a sense there is nothing especially flawed about the product, I discovered after experiment that its design is fundamentally flawed, i.e. the concept of tethered swimming. The issue is that the rubber stretches, of course, while moving forward in the water, so at some point it necessarily drags you backwards. I found this regular backwards, snapping motion uncomfortable, unnatural, and unsustainable. Also it tethers to your waist causing a weight shift, pulling your legs down and making it impossible to simulate proper swimming.Perhaps problem-solving a small-pool issue in some other manner would be better, such as using a current.Again, I can't necessarily say the product fails to meet its own standard. Perhaps another person would be willing to adapt to the effects mentioned above, in which case there is nothing flawed in the product. However, you might find this review useful when considering whether this product will work as intended.

This is a great tether - because it's LONGI've used this tether a lot now; definitely the best tether I've used. The best, most important thing about it that I didn't realize until after I got it, is that the tether is LONG.At first, it seems that a long tether would be a drawback, in that it's unwieldy. (In fact, it's so long that I don't think you can use the parachute with the provided tether in a lap pool without annoying the guy behind you.) BUT - when you're swimming tethered, that long tether SMOOTHS out the swim. If you sprint, you don't just jerk forward and then jerk back the moment you slow down - you gradually move forward, and actually stay there for several arm strokes until you let up. Not once did I feel that I was jerked forward or backwards, as I have with shorter tethers. So tolerate the long (5+ feet) tether, as it's the reason you'll get a nice, smooth swim out of this.The belt is thick and durable - I haven't chafed with it at all, although it's firm enough that I'm sure some unlucky folks will based on body type.The parachute is small - as said, this is the weakest link, as the tether is wayyy too long to safely use the parachute in a lap pool in a circle swim. I'd just ignore the parachute, and assume you're buying a tether, not a parachute+tether.

I hate positive reviews that are deceiving so here is the truth. This is the best twenty three dollars I have spent this month. I have tried other swimming belts and this is hands down the best. Love the bungee because it provides just the right amount of resistance and isn't jolting when you swim. Love the wide waistband. I can see how it may dig into your skin but I wear a one piece and have had no problems. This worked for all strokes except the side stroke for me. We have a 30 foot round above ground pool and this worked great tied to the pool ladder. Love, love, love. Sitting here typing this review completely tired out from my morning swim workout!

This device is so simple and so effective. I looped the one end around my poolside basketball hoop, which with water in the base is probably close to 200 pounds. The belt is comfortable while swimming and I'd say at my full freestyle stroke, gets me about 10'+ of stretch. When I get tired, I slide the belt around and do a lazy backstroke. I've been swimming much more often with this, a vast improvement over doing laps in a 20' pool which is cumbersome.

4 swims so far and I’m quite happy. Seems like fairly sturdy construction. The belt is comfortable. The opposite end of the band is a nylon loop. I was able to attach it to a pool umbrella to keep me in place. If you don’t have a similar option, you may need to macgyver it a bit. The lower the angle between your body and the band, the more your legs will sink, so try to attach it high up. The swimming is a bit different than laps because you aren’t creating velocity. Each stroke is a first stroke with no wall kick. This is most noticeable when using paddles. I’m still getting a good workout, it just has a different feel.

I'm a long distance swimmer shut out from the pool because of the pandemic. Though I could use this in my pool. The most I could use it for its 15 minutes. Its well built, etc., but I think its going to through my back out. I tried adjusting the belt, with no success. It does not come with any sort of instructions, at all, which may be helpful in determining proper way of using it. I have used it 3 times and I'm giving up. Now just going back and forth in my pool for 30+ minutes. Its nuts but better than ruining my back or stroke. So buyer be careful.

Der Gurt macht ein gutes Schwimmgefühl ohne Ruckeln. Augrund der Zähigkeit des Gummibandes sind gleichmäßige Schwimmbewegungen möglich. Sogar Rückenschwimmen funktioniert, also tolles Teil! Qualitativ dürfte er in Ordung sein, haben ihn zwar erst einen Sommer in Verwendung, schätze aber, dass er noch eine ganze Weile hält.

Die Lieferung erfolgte nach über 5 Wochen – trotz sofortigen Abzuges des Rechnungsbetrages – direkt aus China. Bei der Bestellung habe ich darauf geachtet, dass der Hersteller seinen Sitz innerhalb von Europa hat. Beim Auspacken roch es sofort sehr nach Chemie und der Artikel entsprach in keiner Weise der Beschreibung. Die Produktbeschreibung versprach: „Der Gürtel eignet sich perfekt für das Training auf der Stelle oder für Widerstandstraining. Er besteht aus einem einstellbaren Nylongürtel mit einem Elastikband. Dieses Band kannst du an der Poolleiter oder anderen feststehenden Objekten befestigen.“Es ist weder ein Elastikband noch eine Befestigung vorhanden! Materialwert in Deutschland maximal 3,00 €. Um zu sehen wie es jetzt weiter geht, wird der Schwimmgürtel heute kostenpflichtig, jetzt allerdings nach Frankreich, zurück geschickt.

Rompí la goma el segundo día de entrenamiento. Está bien para un entrenamiento amateur pero no para alto rendimiento.
