BOWSWIM® Resistance Swimming System
The Bowswim Story
BOWSWIM® Inventor Randy Reid of Creekside R&D, LLC is the holder of two U.S. patents. His interest and involvement in resistance swimming systems goes back more than twenty years. Randy is shown here with Barbara Little.
Although he was directly involved with the early development of lesser systems (now in direct competition with BOWSWIM®), Reid was not satisfied, and went on to develop and manufacture the superior product he envisioned: the BOWSWIM® Resistance Swimming System.

Swimmer magazine, the publication of U.S. Masters Swimming, had this to say after testing various systems:
“…Editor’s Note: Two similar products from another manufacturer were tested alongside the BOWSWIM®. The other manufacturer withdrew them from the process after testers broke both of them within seconds of swimming against them.” Read the U.S. Masters Swimming Review.

From the U.S. Masters Swimming Review, which appeared in their magazine Swimmer…
“Testers noticed the high quality of all the Bowswim components… The “simple is better” approach has resulted in a product that will provide a lasting piece of training equipment that anyone from a water-aerobics enthusiast to a highly competitive swimmer can use.
Editor’s Note: Two similar products from another manufacturer were tested alongside the Bowswim. The other manufacturer withdrew them from the process after testers broke both of them within seconds of swimming against them. In one case, a tester sustained a minor injury when the product snapped under pressure. ”
