Tethered swimming is a manner of swimming when the swimmer is anchored by an elastic tether to the wall of one lane in the swimming pool. The tether has just enough play in it to allow for a sense of movement without really going anywhere. Tethered swimming allows swimmers to build upper body strength and work on their technique. It ensures excellent physiotherapeutic loading, providing comfortable status in the water and controllability for aquatic practice and range-of-movement exercises and is an excellent aid for teaching anyone to swim.
