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

Morgan,
I agree with Rob. If you really are interested in a tether system, go with one that attaches to the waist, not the feet. Quite frankly, I tried a tether system and found I couldn't swim for very long at all. Once my fatigue set in (quickly), the slack would come into play and I'd be back at the wall. I tried it for several months, it proved to be too much for me. It was like swimming with a train attached going the other way. I just couldn't adjust to it; I always felt like I was going backwards. Just my 2cents worth.
