Lane Gainer™ Competitive Swim Belts with 30' of latex tubing are used for resistance and speed-assisted swim training by the best swimmers in the world. The 30' tube is design to stretch to 75'. Length and tension of tubing may be varied by adjusting size of tubing loop below six hole guide on the original belts. A reversing tether ring on the swimmer's belt allows for directional changes off the wall - so no stopping to turn around. This is very useful for IM training. Resistance swims are great for strength work early in the season. Speed-assist swims are great for finding best streamline positions and for fast high turn-over swims (without full exertion) during taper.

The Swim Belts are available in standard Blue tube resistance and elite Black tube resistance. Choose your option when ordering. Blue tube resistance is recommended for most high school programs. Black tube is used for nationally ranked high school swimmers and collegiate programs based on the purpose of the workout. Many collegiate programs use Blue. The black belts are a $10 upgrade.

Our swim belts have been used in swim programs around the world since 1984. They have been a reliable means of training highly competitive athletes. In the last few years we have started offering an additional safety mechanism on the swim belts. The tubing is very strong and dynamic, but by nature of use and environment it can break. The safety measure consists of a high-tensile rope being threaded internally through the tubing and serves the purpose of reducing risk of "snap-back" if the latex tubing breaks. We also label the belts with a two year tubing expiration date to safeguard against tubing being kept in-service for too long. The Internal Safety Rope ISR serves an important function although it has the down-side of wearing out the tubing much faster than the original swim belts without the ISR. Tests at NCAA D1 schools have shown the tubing with ISR lasts approximately half the time of the standard swim belts. The ISR is a $20 upgrade.
