Stroke Rate and Lap Interval training make you faster and more efficient! With our New MP3 tracks you can now try these two insightful training methods using your waterproof MP3 player.

Swim Smooth have developed a special set of audio tracks for your waterproof MP3 player. Select the track with your desired stroke rate or lap interval and experience the power of the Wetronome to improve your swimming technique at a very low price! Improve your rhythm, timing and pacing skills to boost your speed and efficiency through the water.

Note: When you purchase the tracks, we'll give you a Wetronome discount voucher for the same amount. So if you decide to buy a Wetronome you won't have lost anything by trying the tracks! Think of it as 'try before you buy'.


Your waterproof MP3 player can now improve your swimming too.

Just like music tracks you might buy from iTunes or rip from your CDs, these tracks play in your MP3 player. Use them whilst you are swimming to:

1) Set Stroke Rate

Included in the set are 11 Stroke Rate Tracks ranging from 40 to 90 strokes per minute (SPM). This covers the full range of stroke rates a swimmer might use from absolute beginner to elite competitor.

Use the Stroke Rate Tracks to improve your rhythm and timing, slow your stroke to help you lengthen out or increase your stroke rate to remove dead spots and pauses. Each track beeps a regular stroke rate rhythm - simply time your arm stroke (normally your hand entry) to the beep and start improving your stroke technique.

Each Stroke Rate Track runs for approximately 5 minutes.

2) Set A Lap Pace

Almost all non-elite swimmers have very bad pacing - they start nearly every swim or interval too fast and then slow down. Most swimmers are so used to doing this that it feels normal. It's time to break that habit!


Use these MP3 tracks to test out the benefits of using a Wetronome to improve your swimming.

Included in the MP3 Track Set are pacing tracks. These beep to you a target pace for the end of every length (or in a 50m pool, every 25m) so that you can pace your swim to the beep. You'll be surprised how far ahead of the beep you get after 25 and 50m before it starts catching you up again as you tire! Instead of doing that, these tracks will teach you to set off at the right pace, making your swimming easier and faster overall. Make good pacing skills a key part of your swimming technique.

The Lap Interval tracks run for approximately 300m swimming distance each.

Are These Tracks An Alternative To A Wetronome?

These tracks are supplied so that you can extensively test and understand the benefit of stroke rate and pace training for your swimming. We believe you'll find these methods very valuable to improving your swimming technique and once you've witnessed this for yourself you'll want to buy the proper tool for the job: A Wetronome

A Wetronome is smaller, easier to use and more elegant than using an MP3 player. You can set stroke rate with much higher precision, listen to a stroke rate or pace for much longer periods of time and its never runs low on charge (well not for approximately 3 years of normal use!).


All Swim Smooth products come with our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
If you're not entirely satisfied with your purchase, we'll refund you.
(Details in our Ts+Cs)

That's why when you purchase the tracks we give you a Wetronome discount voucher equal to their price. We believe everyone trying the tracks will ultimately want to purchase a Wetronome once they experience the benefits of stroke rate and pace swimming for themselves.

Included Tracks In The Set

The Stroke Rate Set includes 11 tracks: 40 to 90 SPM every 5 SPM

Lap Interval Set 1 (25m & 50m Pools) includes 31 tracks set to lap intervals of 15 to 45 seconds per 25m in 1 second steps (giving paces between 1:00 and 3:00 per 100m).

Lap Interval Set 2 (33m Pools) includes 41 tracks set to lap intervals of 20 to 60 seconds per 33m in 1 second steps (giving paces between 1:00 and 3:00 per 100m).

Opinions Of The Wetronome and Stroke Rate Training:

“I got a Wetronome and instantly my swimming motivation has gone through the roof!

It has taken more time off my 400m time, on top of 1½ minutes improvement from technique training.

I'm lovin' it."

Phil Wilson, UK

"Should you buy a Wetronome? Without doubt yes.

You can test where/when your technique starts to break down in a very controlled fashion.

I even used it in races to ensure constant pacing and achieved a PB in one open water race despite setting a conservative stroke rate.

A magic little tool!"

Chris Mallin, UK

"I do regular sessions with the Wetronome to speed up my stroke rate and take the dead spot out of my stroke where I do too much of a catch-up.

It's working, things are gelling together better and I'm making improvements in swimming for the first time in months (possibly years)."

Andy Smith, UK

"Faster Stroke Rate is the key to faster and more efficient open water swims. This reduces the stroke being effected by current, waves, other swimmers etc."

Alun Woodward, Professional Triathlete
