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.
