The HomeSwimmer lets you get an Olympic sized swim in any size pool.

The HomeSwimmer is a portable stationary swimming system designed to allow residential pool owners, business travelers, and others to use smaller-than-Olympic size pools for an effective, low-impact fitness swimming experience at home or on the road.
There are approximately 8 million residential pools in the United States alone. Unfortunately, a residential pool often is the largest, most underutilized investment in the house.

Low-impact fitness swimming is one of the most complete forms of exercise there is and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages and proficiency levels. HomeSwimmer is easy to install and use (no tools are required). Swim in place while your family enjoys the rest of the pool.
The HomeSwimmer is easily adaptable to any size and type of pool: inground, above ground, vinyl, cement.
HomeSwimmer is easy to install. Just place the assembled system inside the pool. Secure lose strap to any anchoring point up to 12 feet from the edge of the pool, adjust the belt around your waist, and start swimming. The spring will provide gentle resistance as you stroke.
HomeSwimmer is easy to carry. At less than five pounds, just pack your HomeSwimmer and go. The entire system, in it’s own carrying tote fits into a carry-on bag. HomeSwimmer is also ideal for indoor/outdoor pools at hotels, apartment complexes, schools, fitness centers, and more.
Why should I swim?
Swimming is one of the most complete forms of exercise and can be enjoyed by people of all ages and proficiency levels. Would you like a swimmer's body? HomeSwimmer can help.
How?
It builds the body, soothes the mind, regulates breathing, and stimulates circulation, with no stress on bones and joints. Because swimming uses almost all the major muscle groups, it can develop strength and endurance while improving posture and flexibility. By placing vigorous demand on heart and lungs swimming is also an extraordinary aerobic exercise that improves cardiovascular conditioning. Finally, with the least amount of joint stress/impact, swimming has the lowest risk of injury of all sports.
