training timerEver start a race and realize a few minutes in that you went out too strong and too fast so you run out of gas? Ever go out too slow and then realize you will never catch the leader? Learn to pace yourself during long and even short events with a Tempo Trainer. The Tempo Trainer acts as a pacing coach so that you are able to monitor your speed and endurance during practices which will translate into success during your meets.

Wearing the Tempo Trainer is like having a personal timing coach at your side anytime, anywhere. Simply attach the fully water submersible training device to your goggles or swim cap and hear the beep to keep you on track with your strokes. You will improve your stroke rate and stroke cycle because you will be able to hear the timing for each stroke and stick to it. It is similar to a metronome which keeps piano players on perfect time.

Tempo Trainer is Very Accurate


This is a highly accurate timing device which measures your tempo to within a hundredth of a second which is critical considering that many races are won or lost by hundredths of a second.  This tempo keeper will have you swimming at the best combination of time, stroke length, and stroke rate. Instead of thinking about your pace and second guessing yourself you will be able to focus on your form and let the timer be your pace coach.

The Tempo Trainer helps you to achieve your personal best times and adjust your workouts depending on your training goals for that day. You can set your metronome to beep every 0.10 seconds all the way up to once every ten minutes – you can time a stroke or a series of laps for totally different training styles for different races. Maybe one day you will want to train for better endurance and monitor each and every stroke and another day you want only to hear a beep when you should be hitting the next turn. It would be almost impossible to measure that without this type of swimming aid.  

The Tempo Trainer will Help You to Prepare for Swim Meets


The Tempo Trainer will assist you with race preparation the day of the actual race. By warming up with the timer you are preparing your muscles for the pace they will keep. If you have ever entered a competition you know that nerves can kick in and take over your confidence as well as your efforts preparing for the big day. Your heart rate is elevated, your breathing erratic and you forget your pace. Warm up with the one aid that can actually get your body ready regardless of where your head is. Muscle memory will hear the beeps, settle in and you will fall into your tempo.

Versatile Race Preparation Device


This tool is not just for swimming either. You can wear the Tempo Trainer for running or cycling to help you keep your cadence there as well. Time your running strides or bicycle revolutions by knowing exactly when you should be taking the next step or pushing down on the pedal. This is the easiest way to stay on track no matter what your event and that is the key to success when you train and compete.

Wear your trainer on your headband, armband, cycle helmet, swim cap or goggles. This is one versatile trainer that allows you to go when you are ready to go instead of trying to watch your coach for his or signals from across a field or as you pass each lap. You are in total control and stay on track moment by moment and that makes this an invaluable part of your coaching staff.

Your athletic abilities will soar because you will be training like an athlete and getting faster, stronger and better at any sport you participate in.For additional tempo and training aids look into the heart rate monitors and training computers which can tell you everything from how hard you are working to how many calories you burned and in what training zone you were working.
