If you have a VASA Swim Erg or Trainer on the pool deck, that’s the best-case scenario. It provides profound tactile feedback that can be immediately translated to the pool. The Erg really helps the breathing or stroke-rate challenged, because you can breathe and keep your body in a straight line. Breathing inherently creates imbalance. Swimming on the Swim Ergometer is like being in the pool with a front-mount snorkel. It helps you isolate and engage your bigger muscles. You can re-create the clean line on the Swim Erg into the water. ~Eric Neilsen
