Technologies are described for aquatic resistance training. An aquatic resistance line may be deployed across the surface of a swimming pool. An aquatic resistance device may be deployed to ride along the resistance line when pulled by a swimmer. The aquatic resistance device comprises offset compression tensioners, each with a wedge-like geometry and a channel for the resistance line. The housing of the aquatic resistance device positions adjacent pairs of the offset compression tensioners into alternating orientation to one another. A mechanical compressor within the aquatic resistance device can force the offset compression tensioners against one another along the axis of the resistance line causing the alternating wedge-like geometries of the offset compression tensioners to force the offset compression tensioners off-axis from one another orthogonal to the aquatic resistance line into a configuration operable to adjustably grip the aquatic resistance line thus providing a resistive training load to the swimmer.
