3-Minutes Of Perfect 'Tethered' Swimming

3-minutes of perfect swimming with a tether. I gave Olympian Dan Smith a call to see what he was doing while the pools were closed. We talked about his thoughts on the Tokyo Olympics being postponed, what he's doing without a pool and how he got creative and made his own tether when there were none left in Australia.

Is tethering a good replacement for swimming? I'd like to hear pros and cons. Also more detail on the belt and tether set up.

[@markmolloy3741]

Any chance you could post a link to what you bought in bunnings? Am desperate to get something that would enable me to get some swim practice in!

[@user-ew4fs3pt5p]

what belt is he using?

[@jasonandrews9058]

Brother please remember all of us who are swimmers and can't do what u are doing now. I don't envy you but I am happy for you. Please remember us when next you train

I thought he was in an "endless pool" before realizing he was strapped down. Great idea. "PLEASE OPEN THE POOLS...NOW!" :0

hi. i’m looking for a good gadget for my swimming exercise in my backyard pool. Can u recommend a good one?Thanks

[@rogger55]

his right arm as some of a crossover, right? or am i seeing it incorrectly?

[@123nlusky]

rogger55 was thinking the same thing. I’m by no means a great swimmer but I noticed in tethered swimming your technique gets a little “OFF TRACK” because you need a bit of sideways force to keep you straight? You don’t get have that feed back of cutting through the water like a your on a rail. I think that could be unconsciously causing that bent arm because your body feels like you need to use a slight push away type movement to keep straight? Ooooorrrr, he could of always swam like this😂

[@rogger55]

@@123nlusky You know what, you're actually right, i've just recorded myself and found that i also tend to do this exact same thing and yes i believe is due to the reason you mention, sideways force to keep you "on track"

[@MrAllywood79]

Yes, but you don't get to see the technique from underneath.

Funny how generated subtitles have a hard time understanding australian language.

[@alenazikova6193]

I want to buy an outdoor above the ground pool, the smallest one to be able to swim on the tether. Can you recomment the size and depth of a pool that will work? Many thanks.
