Do you have a tempo trainer? Do you know how to use it? How do you use it more effectively?


The tempo trainer is a brilliant little device for helping you achieve your swim goals for pacing and optimising your stroke rate and arm timing! We thoroughly recommend them to all our clients, particularly in our swim squads!


Most clients we see and ask this say oh yes I have one, I've never used it as I don't know how to set it up and what the different modes are for. It's so common if I had a pound for every time someone said that I would be a.....!


So here is a link on how to use your Tempo trainer from Finis who designed it :

Mode 1 is for pacing to 100’s of a second.

Mode 2 for pacing over longer intervals.

Mode 3 for stroke rate

Swim monthly structured sessions online using training peaks £30 a month

We can help you set these up and put you on a tempo trainer interval reduction plan, which effectively means using it to help you swim faster, understand your pacing better, become more aware of it, and intuitively know what your pacing feels like more, as you can't check your watch for 100m pacing when your racing!

Your threshold swim pace will need to be set in Training Peaks as a zone, from a recent time trial over either a 500m swim at 80% or 1km at 75%. From this then we can set your most accurate training zones.

This will help us to calculate your “T Pace” or 80% effort pacing, which is your 1500m metre race pace.
