Modes

	PURPOSE	BENEFIT	HOW TO USE
mode 1	Monitor and set your stroke rate or tempo.	Adjustable by very specific amounts of time, down to 1/100th of a second. Enhances your sprints and prepares you for shorter races. These small adjustments can translate into big changes in stroke length and efficiency over time.	Set the Tempo Trainer Pro to beep every XX:XX seconds. Time ranges from 00:20 (0.2 seconds) to 99:99 (99:99 seconds), scrolling by hundredths of a second. A SINGLE beep occurs between 00:20 and 4.99 seconds. A DOUBLE beep occurs between 4.99 and 99.99 seconds.
mode 2	Monitor and set pace times for laps, distance sets or intervals.	Adjustable by full seconds. Enhances your endurance and prepares you for distance races and open water swimming. This mode can also be used during sprint sets to determine benchmarks.	Set the Tempo Trainer Pro to beep every XX minutes and XX seconds. Time ranges from 00.01 (1 second) to 9:59 (9 minutes, 59 seconds), scrolling by seconds. A TRIPLE beep will occur.
mode 3	Monitor and set your stroke rate or tempo using strokes/cycles per minute.	Tracks strokes-per-minute and distance-per-stroke. Ensures that your strokes are not getting shorter as you swim. The device will automatically calculate how often to beep.	Set the Tempo Trainer Pro to your desired strokes/cycles per minute. The interval ranges from 10 to 200. 10–120 scrolls by a single unit. 120–300 scrolls by units of five. A SINGLE beep will occur.

USER TIP*	EXAMPLE
The colon [:] will not flash in this mode.	If you set the device to.40, your hand needs to hit the water every 4/10ths of a second.
The colon [:] will flash in this mode.	For a goal time of 1 minute for 100 yards, set the device to triple beep every 15 seconds to make sure pace is on track every 25 yards.
The colon [:] will not be displayed in this mode.	If you set it at a value of "75", the Tempo Trainer Pro will beep at a rate of 75 times per minute (every.80 seconds).

*Look at the colon [:] to determine which mode you are in.

Switching modes

When the device is turned on it will automatically go into the previous mode and setting.
Press and hold button A for 2 seconds to get to the modes.
The device will display the next mode number, and cycle through in order (Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3).
Release button A to stay in a mode.
To go from Mode 2 to Mode 1: Press and hold button A for 2 seconds to get to "Mode", then press and hold button A again for 2 seconds to cycle back to Mode 1.

Reference charts

Developed in collaboration with Glenn Mills, www.goswim.tv These charts offer swimmers and coaches clear, reliable guidelines for determining stroke rates.
Note: Stroke rates shown are averages from elite male and female swimmers. Rates displayed in seconds for freestyle and backstroke are measured per full stroke cycle; to calculate per hand entry, divide by two.

Training Rates:
LCM – 85% TEMPO
LCM – 70% TEMPO
SCY – 85% TEMPO
SCY – 70% TEMPO

These values serve as a reference point for setting the Tempo Trainer Pro to help identify an optimal stroke rate for performance. However, every swimmer has their own ideal tempo. Use these charts as a guide, not a strict comparison—unless you're among the many elite athletes using the Tempo Trainer. Instead, focus on improving your own metrics over time.
It's also important to remember that stroke rate (tempo) is just one piece of the equation. The true key to improvement lies in Distance Per Stroke (DPS). If you can maintain a consistent tempo while increasing your DPS, you'll become a faster, more efficient swimmer.

Testimonials

" The Tempo Trainer Pro is really effective in setting up my ideal stroke rate in the water. What makes it even better, is that I also get to use it while running to set up the perfect rulons. —HENRI SCHOEMAN, 2016 OLYMPIC BRONZE MEDALIST

" I love using the Tempo Trainer Pro, it is a great way for me to reset my stroke count and make sure I am working at the correct pace. When I am having a tough training set it really helps me maintain the focus on pace and stroke count, so I can maximize my workout. —NICK GRAINGER, 2015 WORLD CHAMPION

" Since the origin of the FINIS Tempo Trainer Pro, the device has been an integral part of our swimmers' development. We use the TTP on a daily basis, for all groups and levels, to help our swimmers become much more intelligent and aware of their stroke rates. By utilizing the TTP in conjunction with stroke counts and splits, coaches can achieve dramatic results with higher quality training in a very cost-effective manner. —RON HEIDARY, HEAD COACH, ORINDA AQUATICS
