Band arrived from Amazon yesterday and tested it out after the kiddos went to sleep.
We have an umbrella holder in the shallow end so it was easy enough to just one end of the band around the umbrella.
With the band attached 6 inches below the surface and no goggles I felt like I was drowning for the first 30 seconds. Threw on some goggles and slid the anchor point up to about 3 feet of surface and that made all the difference.
Only went for a few minutes but looking forward to getting my system dialed. Anything more than about 1:30/100y effort has me scraping the far wall. I need to shorten the bungee or find a new anchor point.
Jury is still out, but it could be the best $18 I have ever spent on fitness equipment ... oh plus the $XX,XXX for the pool.
