Stationary Swim Belt Manufacturer Ramps Up Production for Busy Swim Season

Swim Tether announced today that it expects to see an increase in consumer spending on swimming pool related recreation products this summer as people stay closer to home and spend more time with their families.

San Luis Obispo, Ca (SWIM TETHER) April 23, 2010 — Swim Tether announced today that it expects to see an increase in consumer spending on swimming pool related recreation products this summer as people stay closer to home and spend more time with their families. A slowed economy and rising gas prices are sure to deter many a weekend warrior from heading out into the summer heat. If you have a pool and want to stay cool while getting a little exercise in the comfort of your own home, the Swim Tether might be your answer.

Swim Tether is the manufacturer of a high quality swimming pool accessory designed to enable homeowners to swim “laps” in pools as small as 14ft in length. This is achieved by installing a stainless steel receptacle at the edge of the pool into which a three part, flexible rod is inserted. The swimmer is then “tethered” to the pole with a nylon cord and neoprene waist belt. By effectively tethering the user to the pool side, the swimmer can swim freely in place for as long as they wish.

About Swim Tether:
For the past several years Swim Tether has been manufacturing quality products in the United States. Their tether units are backed by a lifetime guarantee against manufacturers defect during normal swimming use. First used solely for in-ground pools, demand has risen for alternate applications such as swim spas, swim platform installation on private yachts, and above ground pools.

For more information about Swim Tether or their products, visit their website at www.swimtether.com or call 877-4-TETHER (877-483-8437).

Are you ready for the summer swimming season?

April 18th, 2010

Temperatures are rising and birds are tweeting all around the United States. Are you ready for the swimming season? If it’s any indication that people are taking to the pool, we have seen a dramatic and steady increase in product sales and inquiries. At the moment it’s about 50/50 with swim spa and pool owners contacting us for ways to take advantage of the small swimming space. In places like Florida backyard in-ground pools tend to function as more of an aesthetic rather than a swimming environment. Homeowners want more from their pools lately and what better way to maximize use than to take advantage of the benefits of swimming. Whether you purchased a home with a pool insufficient for lap swimming or had one built for tens of thousands of dollars but overlooked the fact that you might someday like to get some exercise in it, fortunately you have a solution. For under $200 you can install a stationary swimming belt system, such as the Swim Tether, and swim continuously until you’re hearts content (or you prune up). These systems cost far less than installing a comprehensive jet system (which can run you upwards of $10,000) and, quite frankly, we’ve listened to users of jet systems and all too often we are told that adding a tether enhances the experience. Why? Well, the biggest complaint is staying in the center of the pool. Apparently it requires quite a bit of skill to keep from being pushed over into the walls. With a swim tether you only need to focus on swimming straight… the tether will naturally guide you into the center of the pool. So next time you look out your window at your [super attractive and relaxing] pool and think, “boy, it would be nice to swim a few laps”… think Swim Tether and head on over to our Swim Shop to try one out!
