Halo Swim Training System

HALO Swim Bench addresses several elements of stroke technique, swim specific strength and crucial turnover/tempo rates important in the overall successful swimming equation.
  • HALO Swim Bench addresses several elements of stroke technique, swim specific strength and crucial turnover/tempo rates important in the overall successful swimming equation.
  • The Halo System includes the following features: A fold-down 304-Stainless Steel bench with a headrest for correct streamline position, a printed see-through template that guides you into a proper Catch and the zones for Power and Finish in the stroke path - plus Hand-Pitch orientation lines so you push water in the right direction, a set of Sphandle™ resistance tubing that promotes acceleration in the stroke pull pattern and adjustable Finish Brushes that make the use of a metronome meaningful for stroke turn-over/tempo work. The HALO may appear like a simple tool, but it has many build-in features that address important elements in the equation to swim faster.
  • One template comes with the $399 Halo swim bench package. Select the size that fits you best. The right fit will optimize your Catch and will keep your back and lats engaged as you pull through the Power phase of the stroke. Additional templates are available when purchasing the system. Coaches of adult athletes most often use the C-D-E templates. Round down to the nearest alpha-range if measurement is a fraction. Call 800-443-8946 with questions.
  • NEW ! Printed see-through templates that guide you into a proper Catch and the zones for Power and Finish in the stroke path - plus Hand-Pitch orientation lines so you push water in the right direction. Headrest for correct streamline head position and less fatigue while doing bench sets because it simulates the buoyancy of water holding your head.
  • Halo Sphandles : "Sphandle" combines both a open hand swim paddle grip and a closed hand fist-grip into one set of tubing. Depending on your desired exercise, the Spandles will accommodate swim specific pulls for stroke work and hand grip pulls for rotator cuff and/or general exercises. The Sphandles™ have a webbing loop that floats along the 10' length of tubing that can be used to attach the tubing to most stationary fixtures.
  • Optional Discounted Addition to Halo Swim System HALO H.E.A.T. ™ is the newest addition to the HALO circle of products. H.E.A.T. is an acronym for High Elbow Attached Tubing; Tubing that targets the lats and upper-back like a sniper. HEAT brings the tubing user-experience to an entirely different level and you are going to "love the burn". You can use HEAT alone, but we suggest combining HEAT with the standard hand-grip HALO/SPHandle tubing to create a matrix of work-out sets that will fire up any Swimmer or Triathlete. You can do elbow only sets, hand only sets and sets using both HEAT and Sphandles at the same time which will help you find the perfect balance in the perfect pull! Ready to swim fast ? Turn up the HEAT !
  • The HALO system comes with a standard metronome - a simple musical device to divide time into beats per minute. You have the option to upgrade the metronome to a Finis Tempo Trainer Pro that can be used in the water (and the bike and run too).
  • Optional Discounted Addition to Halo Swim System : The new and improved Tempo Trainer Pro now comes with: Sync Button • Replaceable Battery • Additional 3rd Mode: Strokes-Per-Minute • and Now it Floats The small waterproof device easily secures under a swimmer’s cap and transmits an audible tempo beep. Athletes use the beep to train smarter and discover their perfect pace. The advanced unit also has a new Sync button and a new mode strokes/strides per minute for increased functionality. The Tempo Trainer Pro includes a clip for dry land exercise. See full description in Swimming section of website.
  • The "finish brushes" adjust along both edges of the HALO bench to ensure consistent stroke length each pull. This is important especially while doing tempo work because stroke length must be maintained in order for stroke turn-over rate to be meaningful.
  • You can use the HALO for quick swim technique tune-ups, for 5-15 minute warm-up/warm-downs before or after your run or bike, or for complete swim workouts. One of the best features of the HALO is the time savings it gives you by not going back and forth to the pool or open water. Lew Kidder said " The HALO gives you the most race minutes saved for training dollars spent in triathlon training gear. " You won't make a better investment in your training - we guarantee improvement and satisfaction - or your money back.

The templates teach and reinforce "high elbow catch" sometimes called EVF - early vertical forearm - a crucial technique to middle and long distance freestyle. The tubing simulates proper force application because its progressive resistive nature carries over to acceleration through the underwater stroke path - and the metronome can benchmark and target the turnover or cycle rate appropriate for each swimmer and each stroke.

  2. Help for the non-expert swimmer

    Posted by Bill Kircher on 5th Dec 2012

    Finally found a dryland training device that helps one learn the "stroke" pattern. I would recommend using this device initially without the resistance bands to help ingrain the correct stroke pattern.

    So far I really love this bench and halo system! it is easy to put together and store as well. At first it seemed really easy then 15 reps later I felt muscles I haven't used in a while. I am glad I purchased this.

  4. Congratulations on inventing such a useful training device.

    Dear Craig - I must say that I am very impressed by your Halo Swim Bench. I have felt for a long time now that shoulder adduction is the propulsive arm motion used by most world-class swimmers during the insweep (middle underwater portion) of every stroke. Your Halo template is the only device I have seen that encourages swimmers to use the correct shoulder adduction motion during the insweep. The design and transparency of the Halo template guides the swimmer to pull correctly in a semi-circular path with a high elbow throughout the insweep.
    Congratulations on inventing such a useful training device.

  5. Huge Swim Improvement for National Military Champion

    Posted by Kathy Rakel on 12th Apr 2011

    The timeline says it all:

    2007: applied for Air Force Triathlon Team and was not selected b/c I was new to triathlon and too slow (former basketball player & golfer)

    Dec 2010: began using HALO trainer after Sheila Taormina's swim clinic and after reading her book, Call the Suit

    Apr 2011: overall female winner at the Armed Forces Triathlon Championship and first person ever to claim this title with the fastest swim, bike, AND run splits!

    I never would have imagined having the fastest swim split at a race where a few years earlier I was too inexperienced to even earn a position on the starting line. I am now out swimming athletes who were recruited swimmers in college. Consistent use of the HALO has resulted in significantly faster swimming both in the pool and in the open water!
