This is a great product (I've had a cheaper plastic version which was not as sturdy, and ended up disintegrating). The reviews for this product guided me to buy and try. Glad that I did.On the down side, the bungee cord is slightly too short for our set-up, as our pool fence is not right next to the pool. However, this was easily fixed by attaching the bungee cord to a canvas tie-down strap attached to the pool fence (a rope or chain could also work), which allowed greater length and usability. The waist band is secure and comfortable, and easy to put on and remove. Currently my waist is about 102cm at the narrowest, and this fits me snugly with a few cms to spare. I love to swim, and our pool is quite short, so this is a great product to enable me to swim at home. I might even take it on holidays too!

The more I use the Tyr swim belt, the more I appreciate the benefits that it provides to my swimming technique, endurance, and power. At first I found the backward pull of the bungee cord to be awkward and a bit discouraging. But I was able to adjust to that new kind of resistance after the first few workouts, by improving and maintaining my posture and technique in the water--i.e., by lying straight and fully extended in the water, by reaching forward from the ribs and waist belt area and not just from the shoulders, by relaxing my core and lower back area but maintaining an overall firmness, by keeping my neck and head relaxed and low in the water, aligned with my entire body from head to toe, by kicking from the hips and not from the knees, feet close together, and by maintaining a relaxed and steady rotation from the downward-and-forward movement of the hips with each stroke. In short, the resistance of the bungee cord has actually improved my overall technique by forcing me to be much more attentive to all of its aspects, in order to work with the resistance cord and maintain a long extension forward and an efficient technique in the pool for the entire duration of my swim. The swim belt has also improved my overall swim-specific strength and upper-body musculature, allowing me to swim with greater ease, endurance, and speed in open water. (It's equivalent to the strength and improved technique I develop from running on soft, grassy, and hilly terrain in a park, which makes for a much faster and easier run on flat, hard pavement.)I just wanted to share some key insights that I've learned through trial and error: (1) it really helps to tie the end piece of the cord at a high position, on a pole or tree trunk near the pool. I extended the cord by attaching a long piece of thick clothes-line rope to the end of the cord, and then tying the clothes line several feet high on a tree near the deep end of my pool, at about my full height (5'6"). Otherwise, the bungee cord will start pulling your legs and hips down and causing you to struggle to remain high and flat on the water, adding to drag and unnecessary exertion. (2) I find that the swim belt should be just slightly loose around my waist area, so it rests just above the hips but doesn't constrict my gut area. If the waist belt is too tight, it will cause discomfort to your intestines and feel like it's knocking the wind out of you a bit, especially as you extend further forward in the pool. But if the waist belt is too loose, it will sit too low on the hips and constrict your hip flexors as you try to maintain a steady and relaxed kick. (3) Above all, relax! I can't emphasize this enough. When I first used the swim belt, my immediate instinct was to "fight" the new sensation of the bungee cord and struggle against it, which caused me to swim poorly, with thrashing, choppy strokes and jerky movements. I find that when I let my body relax and work with the resistance, I start extending further forward in the pool during the course of the swim and maintaining that long extension throughout the swim. That always reassures me that I'm doing something right.
