Check out Vasa's try before you buy tab. Maybe there's a place near you that you could join short term.

get a bb bench and a set of stretch cords and you'll have 90% of a vasa for 10% of the price

This. The vasa is not the holy grail that it’s made out to be. I used mine for two months and sent it back. I got hosed for $600 for returning it... don’t be me. Get some stretch cords.

Or just go to a body of water and swim

He probably can't because he just had surgery.

I am a second hand Vasa owner. I bought mine for $600, but had to drive 200 - 300 miles to pick it up. I have yet to consistently use it over the past year, but I agree that bungee cords get you 60 - 80% of the way there when it comes to an Vasa ERG trainer.

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions. The suggestions about the Vasa didn't seem like a viable option for only a month. The bench and cords sound like my best bet, although things aren't looking so grim. After seeing the doc today, I will probably only miss 1.5 weeks of swimming, so I'm not too concerned. I will try the cords out, but I won't sweat it if they aren't perfect. Thanks again!



Yeah, there's always someone with an answer to a question they are asking and not you.
