Getting Started
The purpose of the Tempo Trainer Pro is to help you find the optimum combination of Distance-Per-Stroke (DPS) and stroke rate. Start with the outer parameters of each and work your way in.
- 1 x 25 Freestyle, with the Tempo Trainer Pro set at 0.40 seconds in Mode 1. This means that every four tenths of a second, your hand will hit the water. For most people this will be a high turn-over.
- 1 x 25 Freestyle, set at 0.80 seconds. You will be amazed at how much slower and longer eight tenths of a second will feel. Reach and rotate with good DPS.
- Now that you have established both ends of the spectrum, you will want to find that ideal setting where you are most efficient
- 1 x 25 Freestyle, set at 0.42 seconds
- 1 x 25 Freestyle, set at 0.78 seconds
- 1 x 25 Freestyle, set at 0.44 seconds
- 1 x 25 Freestyle, set at 0.76 seconds
- Continue the pattern of adding and subtracting 2 one-hundredths of a second per 25 repeat
- At some setting you will find the perfect combination of stroke rate and DPS that will elevate the quality of your swimming. This setting should also be your fastest 25.
