FINIS Tempo Trainer Pro

I enjoyed my first outing with the trainer. I started with 500 to get my easy pace established. Then, I did sets of 100s, 75s, 50s, and 25s, each at successively faster speeds. The hour I get my lane flew by and my stroke counts got more and more consistent. I would recommend this for anyone trying to get faster and willing to challenge their conception of your consistency.

If I had to redesign this unit, I'd make the metronome tone variable in volume and pitch. I would also make the buttons bigger and more "soft touch."

I had the model previous to this one, where the battery was not replaceable, and loved it. This one has the replaceable battery so way better than having to toss the whole unit into the garbage.

The only thing that I would appreciate a bit is if the volume were adjustable. I use the mode that times my laps and seems like I really have to pay attention and listen to the beeps. Tried moving it around in my cap, but still seems to be a little too me...or possibly it's just me!

all in all a great tool to help with working towards a goal and bringing times down

This is an AWESOME little device! Love it. Asked for it as a christmas gift after watching a 'Race Club' swim video featuring it. Been using it now for 1 1/2 months and I have made substantial improvements in my 100Y, 200Y and 500Y times. I use it almost exclusively in Mode 1 so that I hear a beep on every stroke. It's been so effective that my lap times during a 500 now vary by no more that 1.5 seconds. I am a triathlete who has always had good distance-per-stroke and a low stroke rate. This little device is helping me achieve a better balance between DPS and a higher stroke rate....and as a result I am swimming faster! Have had no problems with the device but after reading other reviews I will start looking for replacement batteries now.
