@FASSY524 It's the same thing...the same motions. You're still kicking.

I guess the only thing that would bug me is no flip turns.

@FASSY524 I admit that a bigger pool would be nice, but I don't understand how this isn't exercising. Isn't it similar to swimming against the current in a river? Or like a treadmill...but for swimming.

haha funny. is that what it's for?

i used to be a state level swimmer. almost went to US Open with my freestyle and breaststroke times.

tip is to try to keep your head and core part of your body from twisting or up too much. when you breathe, head should be rotating level not up. practice bringing up your arm with fingers trailing the water, keep good angle with your elbow. stretch body long when u extend the arm. most power comes from the legs so you want to strengthen your kick and straight

these are great exercise, better than pools cos its like swimming against a current. how much did you pay for yours? im thinking of putting one above ground in my garden, also does it heat up the water?

It still really doesn't beat a real fuckin pool. Real pools are the shit. They actually give exercise because you have to go back and forth and your actualy swimming!
