It is basically a fiberglass pole that goes into a cleat in the swim deck. Attached to the end of the pole is a rope with a belt on the end. You put the belt around your waist and swim. It is kind of like you are attached to a fishing pole, except by a belt and not a hook in your mouth. The faster you swim, the more the pole bends, and when you slow down but are still swimming, the pole retracts and you go a little backwards. You can basically swim forever and go nowhere. It is a great workout in a small pool. And to do backstroke, you simply spin the belt around 180 degrees and start swimming on your back. Vey cool device for a great home workout.

Do you have a link to something like this by any chance? Has anyone had it installed? We are trying to decide on the type/size of the pool we plan to build ...
