Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I've bought it too. Things have improved a lot in the past few months, but I need to iron out a few bad habits.

But how long between hand entries? 0.8s or less? This is, it seems 'normal', but I'm way over.

Checked my swim last night and was doing full on 150m intervals at c1:45/100m, SPM consistently 29, rising to 30 when tired.

So about 1.0 sec between hand entries.

SWOLF was around 39-40 for those who use that.

(Swolf is adding the number of strokes and number of seconds for 25m/1 length - usually averaged over the length of the interval)

As for tempo, just raise it gently but steadily. You'll probably find it comes up quite easily over time.

Check first whether the consecutive bleeps refer to right hand or each hand!
