Swimming beepers:
‘Swimming Beepers’ such as the Tempo Trainer Pro are fantastic tools to help you develop your swimming. They operate in two simple ways:
A) In ‘Stroke Rate Mode’ program in a strokes per minute figure (e.g. 60 SPM), place the Tempo Trainer under your swim cap and you will hear it beep the stroke rhythm to you as you swim; all you need to do is time your strokes to the beep as your hands enter the water. You can easily lower or raise your stroke rate slightly to find the sweet spots in your stroke efficiency. Set your Tempo Trainer Pro to mode 3 to do this.
B) In ‘Lap Interval Mode’ (modes 1 or 2 on the Tempo Trainer Pro) set the Tempo Trainer to a speed that you wish to swim at per 25m (or 25yd or 33m in those pools). Like a ‘beep test’ in the gym you then simply pace your swim so that you are pushing off on each lap on the beep. Most swimmers have very poor pacing, starting to fast and then fading which greatly harms their performances. In fact many swimmers set PBs the very first time they use a stroke beeper for this reason!
