I was curious about the speed tube and we’ve done some testing in it.
Here’s a typical result:
500 meters, no wetsuit- 9:16 (yesterday).
500 meters, speed tube- 8:40 (today).
Nope, no heart rate monitor, no stroke counter, no GPS, no power meter, none of that. Just swimming and a stop watch. So I guess we can all disregard this.
I ran for 44 minutes Wednesday and 1:06 yesterday.

In all seriousness, thanks Tom; I’m thinking about getting the 2.

Get the 2. It is awesome! I think the 5 is too much. The 2 give just a little lift while allowing for full kicking and movement. We have been swimming in Lake Michigan the last few weeks. Water temps have ranged from 65-75. I was a little chilly on a couple days, but, usually the speedtube 2 was perfect. Keep “the boys” from climbing up into my chest cavity and the legs from cramping in cold water. Provided just enough lift to make a 3 mile swim (1 mile off shore) feel very comfortable while still making me work to develop my kick.
I was swimming in the 5 by the way.
