Well, I know that it is hugely more expensive, but what about the Vasa Ergometer? Being over 25 times more expensive, would it give you 25 times better results? I was interested until you said 'I'm part of the company'. It intermediately tells me it will be a biased opinion. But I persevered.
Heey Perro. Kieran is our Head Coach but his main focus is his own PRO Career at the moment. During the pandemic, Kieran was using the ZEN8 Swim Trainer as his main source of swim training. Kieran will most likely be biased, of course. He has helped to bring this to market and without his experience, the product wouldn't be as good as it is. So of course he will love it! ;) We do have many more testimonials and reviews on our website if you want to hear from our customers. The Vasa Trainer is an amazing tool and if you have the space and can afford it we can't recommend it enough. Will you get a 25x return? We can't guarantee that. What we can guarantee is that you will love the ZEN8 Swim Trainer, so will your wallet and space at home ;) And if you put the time in, we will help you become a faster, stronger and more confident swimmer! Sporty regards, ZEN8
I have a question you may be able to help me with. I'm currently in training for a continuous deca triathlon for next year and want to find a way to build up my swimming endurance. With swim times at a low currently and lakes closing for winter, I was looking at this as a tool to my training. What are your thoughts? My idea was, like with running and cycling, to find a starting amount of time I can do comfortably and then build upon that each week. I thought a few hours of this whilst watching a movie on the floor or something. Does this seem like a tool I could use like that you reckont? Thanks
Hi Nathan, thanks for your comment and interest in ZEN8. We would recommend to start out with 15-20 minute sessions on the ZEN8 Swim Trainer and then build your way up. The Swim Trainer offer more resistance than the water. This is why it is so useful, but it will also put a lot of stress to the muscles at first. The Swim Bench will also add extra stress to the body as it activates the core due to it's design. You will over time be able to work your way up to longer sessions, but even the short ones will be extremely useful in your training. We'd recommend shorter sessions on the trainer and then recover in the sofa with a movie instead ;) Over time you'll be able to go further and build up your endurance. Let us know if we can help with anything else. Sporty regards, ZEN8
