Swimming Attached to a Rope

When we moved three years ago, I was very sad to leave my endless pool. The pool set-up just was not portable. Plus, we weren’t sure exactly how long it would be until our new house was built. However, like so many complications, this proved to be an opportunity.

In this case, it was an opportunity to try a new way of swimming.

My inventor-engineer husband researched options for the endless pool and convinced me to try swimming tied to a rope just before our old house was sold. I was dubious.

I thought it would feel awkward and uncomfortable, so I was pleasantly surprised when it felt very natural. I agreed that it made sense to forego the expensive and loud machine for at least a while. Now I’m hooked on swimming attached to a rope, haha.

As I show in the video, it is a simple system. Here is a link to the comfortable running belt that is a piece of it: Flip running belt.
