Does this system resemble the 'feel' of free swimming? Does it give you the sensation of 'swimming' through the water...that's the joy of swimming.

Without a doubt, the award-winning HomeSwimmer system offers the most comfortable and effective stationary swimming experience... in ALL styles. A soft, wide adjustable neoprene belt is attached to the top of the Pole. From the center of the Pole and in the opposite direction comes a Spring that offers variable resistance (depending on the swimmers strength), which is attached to a Strap adjustable up to 12' that you anchor to any anchoring point by the pool (a tree, a pole, the deck, or even the ground with a Stake that comes in the box). The HomeSwimmer has been selling worldwide since 2006 and it has received awards in the US and in Europe for its design and functionality.

Is not as Easy at the first time, and the string attached to your belt Kinde of makes you feel like a fished fish,, but anterior many sesions you get usted to

In all honesty, no. I mean, it can give you a close approximation but you won't feel that joy of propulsion you have with swimming.

no, could possibly work with appropriate hook ups to stabilize pole. pole keeps tipping over

It gives you the exercise that you get from swimming. I have friends who are serious swimmers who got quite a workout. Of course, nothing is like the feel of a free swim in the water, you are being held in a stationary spot. But, I like it very much, although, I teetered the pole in place with two 5 pounds weights. Placing the weights in the inside bottom of the pool to hold the pole. It keeps me from swaying to the side as I swim. this is my second one, I wore out the first one

No, but I can tell you that the sole reinforcement is thin and doesn't last a long time in the pool however, again due to thinness, you have a good feeling for the ground. I intend to buy another pair soon.

I find it best for vertical activity. it would create drag for horizontal swimming. it is great for vertical activity though!

I also had the same back in the days. The feeling is exactly the same, versatile on any conditions, lots of feedback basically you dont think about the board just concentrate on fun. The only difference in my case is that i found it a bit slower than before , but it could just me with more kilos onboard, lol. But overall same fun as back in the days, just make sure you get a good set of flippers.

Yes, it does have a distinctive " clicky feel " to it when it scrolls. I personally prefer it over the other type.It feels intuitive and I am quite used to this type of feel. I feel that I can control the speed more easily -but that may just be very subjective.

I've had mine for over a year and it's just as good as it was on day one. I love it because I use it around my pool and the sensor features allow me to answer my phone or change tracks skip tracks pause etc. Without having to touch it while I'm wet. It sounds like a system far larger than it is. Quite impressive. Also the battery lasts longer than any other I've seen. I give it two thumbs up!

Yes, you absolutely can play your music through your Wave Music system. The sound is unbelievably beautiful!

We do not know of any of our customers that have tried this. But in the name of science, we would like to send you a free swim cap to test this out for us and let us know the result for future reference. Please get back to us if you are interested in doing this.

It's a great workout in the water. not too hard. I can even do leg lifts at the end of each walking lap. Love them.

We use this for my 5 year old daughter as a swim aid so she can freely "swim" in water over her head without holding onto anything. She is confident and feels very secure with it on and wouldn't think of going in the water without it. The best feature is the removable pads as her confidence and skill levels grow. After a few weeks we took a layer out and she didn't even notice it. However, she loved the water already and was desperate to learn to swim on her own. For a great safe flotation for kids before the desire to actually swim, try a Puddle Jumper. We had one when she was 3 and 4 which was perfect. At 5 we got the device pictured so she could learn to swim. We use this for my 5 year old daughter as a swim aid so she can freely "swim" in water over her head without holding onto anything.

It feels like a tennis racket. But a little lighter, its easy to use. Hope that helps.

We've had one of these for over a year--through the hottest of the summer and sub-freezing winter. I thought it would be unbearable in the winter. If you can hold your hands under cold running water then this is going to feel fine on your delicate parts!

To me, it seems to be toward light action. Plenty of feel. Any answer is subjective though

Personal preference, I can just attest to the quality of the water from this system. We enjoy the clean, clear water without the chemical smell and feel. Your skin just feels better after swimming in a salt water system. This is my second use of the exact same system, I liked it so much. Hint: remove and store during a major freeze.

I know exactly what you are talking about! You can definitely float on it w/o getting wet. I LOVE mine!!!

I dont necessarily feel water enter, but I do have an issue with air pockets. Even going to a smaller size, I still had sir pocket issues. With that said, it did help keep my upper body earmer. Very cold pool, I don't think it would provide enough warmth.
