I am a slow long distance swimmer and began using the Finis Stroke trainer last month. ALL my times have improved: From 100m all the way up through to 3km. I started slow with Mode 3 on 40 strokes for a week (about 3 or 4 swims), then in increments of +1 for the following week and so on. My 400m time has gone from 10:22 to 8:48 in 5 weeks. Note: I am 64 and only started swimming last August doing breaststroke then switched to front crawl in February. The trainer works (I am not paid to advertise this) and I would recommend it to anyone who is serious (or frustrated) about getting smoother and faster. You get smoother by concentrating on technique as your timing is being taken care of. You can also play around with Modes 1 & 2 and make your own ‘fun’ challenges.
