Good info, you are on the point about the tethered swim being harder on the arms and shoulders. I'm hoping that in the end it means I'll be faster when I get in the lake again.
Tethered swimming is a great workout. The best thing about it is you don't need a big body of water. So many options, I think go for it. You don't need any fancy equipment. Keep training keep adjusting, it will work for you.
Thanks for the scientific rationale behind decreasing resistance when swimming stationary to 80% and the tips on what to do. I'll apply this to my ironman preparation in my home pool.
