For me, it's now going on four weeks since my last swim. We were in Turks and Caicos March 7-14 for spring break where I was doing daily open-water swims along the beach. My last swim was a 3-miler on March 13. When we got back to the U.S., we had to go into mandated 14-day quarantine so I wasn't able to get out to go to the pool before they all closed. Who knows when I'll swim again...either open-water warming up (I live in RI), or pools opening again. I am maintaining fitness with bike rides, and a run here and there. And I know I there is other 'dry land' training I could be doing. But my concern when returning to the water is injuring myself because of doing TMTS. I'm just that kind of athlete. Raise you're hand if you think you're a candidate for a TMTS injury too.

You can fashion one DIY. It's really nothing more than tying yourself (feet/ankles) to something anchored on the side of the pool. It just has to be something that doesn't cut into skin too much. I've used a towel tied around my ankles, and then tied off to the side of the pool with a regular piece of rope, or a bunge cord(s).
DanYou can also get stretch cords meant for dryland resistance work and do the same. Those will be more plentiful than swimming specific stretch cords.
As for me, I've done swimming with resistance cords in the past and found it miserable. I'd rather be dry than do it. But, YMMV
