FINIS Tempo Trainer Pro - Waterproof Audible Swim Metronome - Adjustable Stroke Tempo - 3 Training Modes

My older daughters swim at their highest age group level their team has to offer them and utilize TT (Tempo Trainers) daily. I had a trainer for each of them, but the battery went and it was more cost effective to get them each a new one. The replacement batteries are not reliable and have too many swimmers saying their TT doesn't work. At this price I am hoping to be able to get a year's use out of them.

I was super hype for this item. I planned on using it to help guide me to a consistent, faster pace running. I received it 30 April. Opened it and headed out. I read the instructions and was pretty confident I could get it going. Tried to turn it on. No luck. Tried repeatedly and finally it just blinked on. Thought that was werid but hey it was working. Got the pace I wanted and was very happy. Finished the run. Turned it off and it never turned on again. Worked ONCE. I asked for a replacement and will update when it comes. Fingers crossed because when it did work it helped me alot.Reported the issue to Amazon. They had a new one out the next day...it works amazing. It helps me stay on stride. Love it.

Love these! as a swim coach tempo is crucial to keeping speed or to work on timing out a stroke. I have all my kids purchase these for the season. This is completely water resistant (unless the battery isn't closed properly, its easy to do it right). If it breaks for non user error issues, I have never had an issue getting a replacement with the company. There are 3 modes for training. I usually use the first mode which is pretty exact to a metronome. It is great to help kids with fly or breaststroke, kick timing for free. My only recommendation is that you don't put the item directly on your ear. You'll hear it in the water if it simply in your cap. Trust me.

I am an Ironman and open water swimmer. I'm not world class, but swimming is my best discipline out of the three in a triathlon.The Finis Tempo trainer helps with CSS, one of my favorite methods of swim training. It helps develop muscle memory on speed, cadence and "feel" of the pace you intend to swim. If you need to work on stroke count, you can easily do so. Naturally, my total SPM sits around 45 at my current CSS (1:17). Yeah, it's really, really slow. With the tempo trainer, my swim coach and I were able to pinpoint a "sweet spot" for my cadence, endurance and speed, pushing it to 63 SPM.Discovering this "sweet spot" has improved my swimming tremendously. When focusing on CSS, this is the tool to use 100%. No watches, no funky headphones, just pop this into your swim cap and go (AND STAY ON BEEP!!!)There is one issue I've experienced twice now. When the battery dies, it no longer remains waterproof. It is an issue Finis is aware of, not a user related problem. Finis sent a new one to replace the first one I purchased when this happened. A suggested fix is to immediately put a tiny piece of cardboard in the back after changing the battery. It puts extra pressure on the gasket that makes the assembly waterproof. If you do not do this prior to swimming, water will trickle in and ruin the trainer. I can confirm this fix is hit or miss. The swimmers on my swim team all use this tool and have experienced the same problem. Some have had success with this fix, others have not.I believe it is a manufacturing design flaw related to tolerances, not necessarily an issue with the unit itself. It is annoying to deal with, especially when they're $50+ a piece. I love swimming and this tool has helped me immensely. So, I will continue to purchase/tolerate the annoyance!

I bought it recently for my son to use and he was using it consistently. It was really good, easy to use and floats if it comes loose. Comes with a sample Olympic swimmer tempo but you can adjust the speed. Unfortunately, we were on vacation and the pool was crowded, came loose and we lost the Metronome.

Purchased this item on Sep 27, 2023, started using it during 2024, it worked for a year but now it is not working. First thought the battery was bad, purchased new Panasonic batteries but still not working! I purchased it for almost $36 but now it is $60!!!

When coach suggested this for race training, I wasn't sure what to expect. This is like a metronome and really helps to set a pace that is fast enough, but beware. If you set the tempo too fast, you lose form and risk injury. Set a comfortable tempo, and as you get used to it, gradually increase.

The best under water speed timer!!!!
