The StrechCordz® Long Belt Slider is a swim training tool designed to provide swim-out and pull-back resistance to improve strength and stamina. This professional resistance training tool designed for swimmers consists of a long belt connected to 20 feet of safety cord tubing and a sliding attachment that moves freely around the belt for unrestricted movement and is available in four resistance levels.

Here are some of the key advantages of using the StrechCordz® Long Belt Slider.

  1. Power: The StrechCordz® Long Belt Slider helps swimmers accelerate quicker, strengthening the finishes of each stroke and improving their times by the constant pull back action. This causes swimmers to lose ground with each stroke that is weak. The closer you get to the wall (stretching the cord to the max) creates more pull back.  Forcing the swimmer to utilize their power throughout all of the phases of their stroke.
  2. Resistance Levels: Many swimmers think that you should start with the hardest level of resistance to get the most benefits. They see how far out each swimmer can get on the cord. All this does is train swimmers that the Long Belt Slider is just a toy that may get them a few inches past their competition. Instead try a resistance level just below the swimmer’s ability to reach the wall fresh the first few times. Then the swimmer can repeat it over and over so that they must always dig deep enough to hit their max effort every time.
  3. Faster Transitions: The Quick Connect is an enhancement to our Long Belt Slider and serves as an answer to trainers and coaches seeking faster transitions during practices.  The Quick Connect’s buckle closure allows the product to be quickly and easily transferred between swimmers as they enter and exit the pool.

If you have a shorter pool area for training such as a home lap pool or hotel pool, or you are looking to improve your explosive power off the wall, check out our Safety Cord Short Belt S600-StrechCordz®. At just four feet long, it’s specifically designed for push-off drills and  in-place resistance swimming. It’s coupled with our safety cord so you can confidently practice long swims in a smaller footprint without having to constantly turn on the wall.
