Swim Belt Bungee | Turn your SMALL POOL into a Lap Swimming Pool

Link to buy this swim belt - amzn.to/2Zxv7ap
Swimming is one of the best workouts on the planet no matter your age or fitness level. My new gym doesn't have a lap swimming pool so I found a great alternative with this swim belt.
The 30 foot cord can tie to pretty much anything on the side of your pool to keep you stationary while swimming. The 6 foot bungee stretch cord will add a nice spring to your swimming so you get a nice gentle resistance.

Wish you had discussed how it attaches.

[@patrickhayes3099]

Seems that this really keeps you under the water surface. The female swimmer did not seem to be able to get her hips to the surface. I seem to recall that when I swim, my lower back is exposed to the air and my glutes too. Am I not feeling what observers would be seeing?

[@tmmaccoux]

Patrick Hayes I think her hips are dropped so much mostly because of her head position, not the bungee.

[@alialtinel2960]

place the cord higher. Problem solved

[@jahjahflash]

I know this sounds budget, but can I in theory , use an inflatable pool and tie the bungee to a fence to swim laps? Just curious

[@geraldsobel3470]

I works with any pool, swim hole, or, even the ocean. But why on earth would you want to use it in the ocean? What, are you nuts?

@@geraldsobel3470 how do you count laps using it i dont have an underwater watch but i wanna count my laps

[@fikamonster2564]

@@user-ob9jy7if2x i think havint a timer on the side of the pool works best there

[@cherijacobs6378]

If one does not have a fence or anything to tie to do you reccommend putting a pole in concrete in the ground? I wonder how deep you'd have to sink it to make sure it holds?

[@makisxatzimixas2372]

Can you attach a plastic bag, so you can swimm with resistance but still move?

[@carrieball5354]

Could u swim on your back with this

[@blingdom]

I have tried your link and I cannot find the belt with the 30 foot cord. Can you resend the link?

[@craigcoel3848]

Is your experience that the belt/cord tends to push the legs down a bit? Also, what do you estimate your distance to be for each stroke (any hand hitting the water)? Thanks for the review.

[@SteveDahlskog]

Agree (six months later)! Try to anchor the land part higher up otherwise (close to the water surface) your legs will sink.

[@donaldklopper]

Yeah you should have demoed in a small pool. What do you recommend for buoyancy? It does look like the sinking is an issue.

[@ddtuss2585]

They sell float belts for water aerobics

[@zigelman1]

Mine came without the nylon rope nor the pouch. I will contact them and see them about their customer service

[@lpeless1]

Does a watch measure distance accurately with this system? I have a Garmin 920XT. Would it measure similarly to a pool?

[@abhichoudhary4518]

Garmins are normally GPS based watches, so I believe it would note you are staying in one spot and not count it.

[@user-ob9jy7if2x]

@@abhichoudhary4518 how would you count your laps

[@arthermax]

It looks like the cord is blocking the kick

[@osiris-guitar]

It's mounted too low.

[@008AlanWONG]

What will happen if swimming too fast and break it ? Will get hurts?

[@Roma-rusk]

If you break it from swimming "too fast" then you need to call Guinness world records bc youve broken a speed record.

[@DrShonto]

not on Amazon link, yet…🙃

[@chrisshore9000]

Any for kids?

[@susanmcbain2473]

The link doesn't work now I'm afraid

[@estebanfandila]

why are you so submerge when swimming? is because the belt or just your way to swim ?

[@topreview8270]

The girl swimming doesn't have a strong kick. (she's new to swimming) A proper flutter kick will keep the body higher in the water and more hydrodynamic. The belt does position the body slighly lower in the water because you don't have the water flowing under you. It's not really a problem and if it bothers you, a thigh float can be added to keep you sitting higher in the water.

[@seamusalger5601]

The belt is attached on her back, so her feet drop and her head lifts. You could switch the cord to your front instead. It would pull your head more underwater and your feet would go to the surface. Not sure if that is an improvement though

[@pugtheman5372]

​@@seamusalger5601 :Wrong, her head is up which accentuates her poor form. His stroke is also a little weak since his arms are going deep into the water. Have used a similar cord and proper technique allows an experienced swimmer feel about 95% normal with the system. Plus distance swimmers aren't kicking like crazy anyways. They kick in a slower rhythm. I'm actually searching for a new one since mine is dry rotted after many years of use. Breast stroke for a novice swimmer may be best until better freestyle form is learned/implemented. I've used this belt to train for triathlon's in the past and have found it to be much easier than heading to the beach or joining a local pool.

[@marionisobel]

Where can I purchase this in Australia? Looks good

[@taraskompaniyets1039]

You can buy anything including this belt on AliExpress. Just compare prices on AliExpress and Amazon - you will be surprised.

[@PJGolden68]

man, this would have been better if it had shown people who know how to swim

[@Penguinchubb0]

Lolol

[@dno5134]

I thought this was supposed to be a small pool. It is not helpful to me.

[@CharlesHarsley]

I use this in a pool approximately 12 feet long

[@ericwinans1069]

Could've used real competitive swimmers...

Bad, bad, BAD!
