Abstract: A swim band is provided for tethering a swimmer in a substantially stationary location within the water while swimming. The swim band utilizes two harnesses which attach the swim band to the swimmer's lower extremities in a releasable and an adjustable fashion. Each harness comprises a flexible belt having a coupling ring attached thereto by a strap. The harnesses are detachably connected to clasps attached at opposite ends of an elonated elastic tubing. The elastic tubing is secured to an anchor strap which is utilized to connect the swim band to a stationary point within or located outside of the water.
