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.    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.

2.    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.

3.    Now that you have established both ends of the spectrum, you will want to find that ideal setting where you are most efficient

4.    1 x 25 Freestyle, set at 0.42 seconds

5.    1 x 25 Freestyle, set at 0.78 seconds

6.    1 x 25 Freestyle, set at 0.44 seconds

7.    1 x 25 Freestyle, set at 0.76 seconds

8.    Continue the pattern of adding and subtracting 2 one-hundredths of a second per 25 repeat

9.    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
