A Life’s Work in Swimming Innovation

Swimming machines have been my life’s work for nearly 30 years.

I wanted to build something that:

Could be dropped into any pool (inground or above ground) in seconds

Ran on battery, so no electrician, no wiring, no drilling

Delivered a smooth, powerful current compatible with serious swim training

Remained lightweight, portable, and affordable compared to traditional swim systems

“We’ve kept the design lean, purposeful, and performance-driven. Whether you’re a triathlete, swim coach, rehab athlete, or someone just wanting to swim for pleasure— I built Slipstream for you.”
