Tempo Trainer

Tempo Trainer - Product Details


The Tempo Trainer acts as a personal pace coach to elevate swim training and maximize performance in all of the four competitive strokes. The small waterproof unit is attached to a swimmer's goggle or cap and transmits an audible beep.

This audible cue can be adjusted to help develop consistency of stroke rate and stroke cycle as well as to identify and distinguish between optimal training and race paces. Further, because of the simplicity of the device, the benefits and uses of the Tempo Trainer are only limited to the coach's imagination.


Swim Smarter:
To any athlete, a smart race means a smart pace. Go out too fast, and you'll have a painful finish. Go out too slow, and you're never in the race! The concept of the Tempo Trainer is simple - help the swimmer find the optimum combination of stroke rate and stroke length. Doing so will allow the swimmer to focus on swimming more efficiently in the water.

The constant audio feedback prevents the swimmer from losing consistency as he or she tires. By regulating his or her pace for the entirety of the race, the athlete is working to eliminate the "lows" from any workout or race.


    Distance per Cycle x Cycle Rate = Pace Time


Adjustable Settings:
The user friendly waterproof metronome can be adjusted from 0.10 seconds to 10 minutes, allowing the athlete to set specific and personal benchmarks. Thus, the athlete retrieves immediate alerts upon any breakdown or improvements in the workout, allowing him or her to accurately gauge overall performance.

"The Tempo Trainer radically changed my team. We don't even use a stop watch in warm up at meets anymore. I think it's going to be the biggest change in training in the last twenty years!"

-Clark Campbell
Head Swim Coach, University of Kansas


Versatility:
Some athletes and coaches like to utilize the Tempo Trainer for race preparation. By warming-up with the device set at the desired competition setting, the Tempo Trainer can alert muscle memory to target that specific goal pace. Although designed to be fully waterproof, the Tempo Trainer is praised for its versatility and the application of the device is not limited within the confines of the pool deck. The Tempo Trainer is popular with runners and cyclists because of its success in regulating cadence. The unit can be easily clipped onto a cap, bicycle helmet, headband, etc.

Overall, the Tempo Trainer has quickly become the standard training tool that elite coaches and trainers use to improve their athletes' abilities.


"I use my Tempo Trainer every swim workout for any set over 400 yards."

-Peter Reid
3X Ironman World Champion
