This set uses the Tempo Trainer Pro to help our swimmers swim at race pace for 200 yard events. The beauty of using the Tempo Trainers is that the swimmers can focus on tempo, technique, etc. without having to listen for times. They simply listen for the beep and try to keep up with it.
We set the Tempo Trainers for a swimmer's average pace for a 25 in a 200 yard race. Use the pace cards to find your race pace. This means that the swimmer will hear a beep at the beginning and end of each lap swum at pace. We call the time between beeps a "segment." Thus for a swimmer whose best 200 time is 2:00, 1 segment equals either a 25 swim performed in :15 seconds or :15 seconds rest.
