Tempo Trainer

What is the Tempo Trainer?          

The Tempo Trainer acts as a personal pace coach that elevates training and maximizes performance. It is quickly becoming the standard training tool that elite coaches consistently use to improve their athletes’ abilities. The Tempo Trainer is a small electronic device that transmits an audible beep to help develop consistency of stroke and stroke cycle rate, as well as to identify and distinguish between optimal training and race paces. 

Why do I need the Tempo Trainer? 

A smart race means a smart pace. Go out too fast, and you die all over the place. Too slow, and you’re never in the race.

The Tempo Trainer is the best available tool to help you focus on achieving the optimum combination of stroke length and stroke rate, the two most critical factors to swimming efficiently. 

 

"The Tempo Trainer radically changed my team. We don't even use a stopwatch 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.

 

Today’s top coaches agree that maintaining a consistent pace is crucial to achieving success in competition.

Regardless of the event, working out with the Tempo Trainer is the best method to achieve your optimum performance. 

 

"Tempo Trainers are required swim equipment within all our swimmer's gear bags."  

 

Dr. Dave Salo. Head Swim Coach, Irvine Novaquatics, 2003 USA Coach/World Championship Team. 

 
 

Basic freestyle example: Set the Tempo Trainer at 1.00 second. Ask the swimmer to associate each hand entry with each beep. Adjust the timing faster or slower to find an optimum rate. Maintain this rate during a quality set.
