Industry News: FINIS Announces Tempo Trainer Pro

LIVERMORE, California, September 20. FINIS, the worldwide leader in technical swimming development and provider of select training equipment for the U.S. Olympic Swim Team, announces the immediate availability of the Tempo Trainer Pro audible metronome pacing device. The new and improved Tempo Trainer Pro is a personal pace coach that helps a swimmer develop consistency and avoid lulls by transmitting an audible tempo beep while swimming. The small, waterproof device easily secures under a swimmer's cap and features a sync button, a replaceable battery, three modes that monitor your strokes-per-minute and floating capability. The Tempo Trainer Pro is now available for $49.99 MSRP at www.FINISInc.com.

The purpose of the Tempo Trainer Pro is to help an athlete find the optimum combination of Distance-Per-Stroke (DPS) and stroke rate. Athletes use the beep to train smarter and discover their perfect pace. Now with the option to replace the battery, the Tempo Trainer Pro will last multiple lifetimes. The advanced unit also has a new Sync button and a new mode in strokes/strides per minute for increased functionality. The Tempo Trainer Pro includes a clip for dry land exercise such as running and cycling.

"The Tempo Trainer has been an integral training tool that I have been training with for a while; I use it for all of my power and sprint practices," says Lara Jackson, winner of the U.S. Nationals 50 free division. "As a sprinter, it is especially important that I keep my stroke connected and the Tempo Trainer helps me to do that by precisely gauging my stroke rate."
