The brand new Finis Tempo Trainer PRO: all of the disadvantages of the old tempo trainer are fixed! We have always favoured the Wetronome over the old Finis Tempo Trainer because of the Wetronome's bullet-proof reliability and strokes-per-minute functionality but now Finis have struck back and created a brilliant new swimming beeper: the new Tempo Trainer Pro!
We've been testing the new TT-Pro with our Swim Smooth squads in Perth and have been very impressed with their ease of use and reliability. They make an excellent alternative to the Wetronome as they now operate in 'Strokes Per Minute' and have the advantage of the 'sync' button which means you don't have to wait for the beep before starting your set in lap interval mode. They are also cheaper than the Wetronome and have a replaceable battery too - what's not to like?

Swimming Beepers
'Swimming Beepers' such as the Tempo Trainer and Wetronome are fantastic tools to help you develop your swimming. They operate in two simple modes:
1) In 'Stroke Rate Mode' program in a strokes per minute figure (e.g. 60 SPM), place the Tempo Trainer under your swim cap and you will hear it beep the stroke rhythm to you as you swim; all you need to do is time your strokes to the beep as your hands enter the water. You can easily lower or raise your stroke rate slightly to find the sweet spots in your stroke efficiency.
2) In 'Lap Interval Mode' set the Tempo Trainer to a speed that you wish to swim at per 25m (or 25yd or 33m in those pools). Like a 'beep test' in the gym you then simply pace your swim so that you are pushing off on each lap on the beep. Most swimmers have very poor pacing, starting to fast and then fading which greatly harms their performances. In fact many swimmers set PBs the very first time they use a stroke beeper for this reason!

Overgliding?
A stroke rate beeper is the most effective way available to remove dead spots and pauses from your stroke technique.
Deadspots are brought about by technique work focusing too much on gliding. This lowers your stroke rate and greatly harms your sense of rhythm. Use a Tempo Trainer Pro to progressively lift your stroke rate and remove the deadspot in your stroke - it's the key to faster and more efficient swimming!
