Appearance

Cute and blue

Strengths

So many applications other than just setting yoru tempo. Do a few swim sets with focus on form to get a starting stroke count. Set hte TT for 1.30 or 1.40 seconds (slower for newer swimmers). Swim 25 and count strokes. Decrease by .01 seconds each lap and try to maintain strokes. If your stroke count stays the same...you just got free speed.

Can play with it in lots of other ways too.

Weakness

Can get annoying if you use it too much. Balance time spent working on form and stroke thoughts with moderate TT use.
