http://www.swimriptide.com Hey everyone-- I was wondering what your thoughts on this swim tether are? It looks a lot nicer--effective than the typical bungee cord systems you see in magazines, but I don't want to spend the extra money if you all can convince me it isn't worth the extra coinage. thanks for your thoughts

  • I have no experience with the “Riptide”, but it seems that having the thing attached to your feet would affect your kick. I’m not sure if it was the just the model or the riptide, but the swimmer in the video had a poor kick. From what I saw, I’d go with a Swim Belt for tethered swimming; saving $50 and being able to kick unencumbered.
