"I really like to use the Vasa Trainer for working on my freestyle tempo with one arm at a time, as well as with both arms. I like to work on high elbows, which is very important to catch the pool... The Vasa Trainer gives you both flexibility and strength in your muscles. It is very close to what you are doing in the pool, it's almost the same thing... It is very important to have flexibility in your muscles, to have long, lean muscles, especially for long course. Vasa really helps you develop that flexibility." - Lenny Krayzelburg, 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist, 3-Time World Record Holder

"For dryland swim training to perfect my stroke, increase my strength, and build my endurance, I use the Vasa Trainer. Its unique design and smooth action provides exactly the right swim-specific training I need in less training time.
I've tried all types of machines and devices, including others claiming to duplicate swimming. Nothing even comes close to the Vasa Trainer's effectiveness and value. The Vasa Trainer is absolutely essential for all triathletes and swimmers who want to swim faster. It is the best swim bench available." - Dave Scott, Triathon legend & 6-time winner of the Hawaii IronMan"If I could pass along one piece of advice to any athlete looking for serious improvement, it would be this: Get thee to the Vasa Trainer!

"The Vasa Ergometer and the Vasa Trainer are ideal tools for anyone wanting to improve their swim efficiency and times. These two machines have not only helped me improve my strength, power and endurance, they have also helped me improve my technique. I used the Vasa Trainer during my strength phases and the Vasa Ergometer during my race season for steady state workouts and intervals. No matter which machine I was using, I was able to see my stroke mechanics and therefore recognize and correct my flaws. During each session, I was able to focus on maintaining a high elbow and engaging the big powerful lat muscles. I used the Vasa Ergometer several times per week during my build-up for Hawaii. As a result, I exited the water in Kona with the main contenders, a pack that one-year earlier; I would have been 7 min. behind! The strength gains set me up for a great race and a personal best 8th place finish at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships”. - Kim Loeffler, Professional Triathlete

We call it 'Lane 7' at Germantown. We have three Ergometers. The quality of workmanship in this product is unbelievable. Each one is used about 18 hours a week, and I have had 'zero' down time. I do specific sets for different age groups. Sprints are different from middle distance, back and breast, and distance is certainly very different. You can measure very accurately with this new product. A few years ago with the original Vasa, I used the Polar Heart Rate Monitors going up the slide as fast as you could and down as slowly as you could for 16 continuous minutes. I averaged heart rates over 190. The Vasa products have enhanced all the swimmers at Germantown Academy as we use them for working on stroke technique, conditioning, coordination and fitness. The machines are also great for sick or injured athletes, notes Shoulberg: If an athlete is having a sinus or ear infection, they can maintain training, get well sooner and not lose their level of fitness because of Vasa. I would highly recommend they put a Vasa in every program." - Coach Richard Shoulberg of Germantown Academy, PA
