Comments: Great clip with quality video and great explanations of why head position is so important while breathing. It is long, but watch the whole thing and you will see at least one problem that you have with your breathing. Also, the swimmer (Matt) has really great technique - watch his arms for examples of great straight-ahead recovery, entry, extension, and the early-vertical-forearm catch and pull. And notice the really nice six-beat kick. Rotation. Head position. Everything is great.

Glenn Mills - Finis Tempo Trainer
Comments: The Tempo Trainer is basically a metronome that goes in your cap. You set the interval for the beep, and you make sure a hand strikes the water with each beep. This is a great tool that you can use to address left-right stroke imbalances, which are most often caused by taking too long to breathe, especially when you always breathe to the same side. It is also a great way to start speeding up your turnover rate, once you have a technically sound stroke. And don't throw away the clip that comes with it! Clip it to your running cap to work on your running cadence.
