The Vasa Swim Erg is an ideal tool for developing proper freestyle stroke technique, sustained power and lasting endurance in swimmers & triathletes at any level.
The precise electronic swim Power Meter left / right arm power balance (watts), stroke rate, distance and time. This makes it great for doing repeatable swim intervals and sustained swimming workouts. Perfect all strokes — freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke, and backstroke. Gain fast, efficient swim training at home to swim faster than ever.
Get outstanding results for developing swim-specific power and endurance. The Erg’s adjustable airflow system simulates the resistance experienced while swimming in water. You will build endurance and staying power as never before, and prove it with the Power Meter’s reliable, repeatable metrics.
Try it for yourself for 3 months, risk-free—your improvement will be dramatic.
“The Vasa Ergometer provides an easy way to train in my house and prepare for my swim workouts. It will allow me to put in more time in the winter swimming without having to get into the water. The Ergometer is a great tool to add into strength training for swimmers and triathletes. It provides you with alternative exercises to strengthen your shoulders and really improves swim times. I have noticed that I am fresher on the bike and run. This is definitely due to being stronger and more efficient during the swim.”
– Jarrod Shoemaker, Olympian and ITU World Cup Champion
“I am a 46 year old masters swimmer and am faster now than I was in my thirties, and much credit goes to my Vasa Ergometer. When I first started training on the Erg, I would “pretend” I was swimming in the water. Now that I understand the biomechanical advantage of stroke training with the Vasa, it’s just the opposite. When I’m swimming, I “pretend” I’m on the Vasa Ergometer! The result has been more distance per stroke and less fatigue for equal yardage!”
– E. L. , Masters Swimmer
“I’ve noticed a considerable difference in my power and stamina since incorporating Vasa machines into my training. They’ve become an indispensable training tool for me and I am looking forward to working with them in the future.”
– Alex Meyer, Olympic Open Water Swimmer

“Nothing even comes close to Vasa’s effectiveness and value. It is absolutely essential for all triathletes and swimmers who want to swim faster. It is the best swim bench available.”
— Dave Scott, Legendary 6-time Ironman World Champion
“I decided to try and leverage the time savings the Vasa SwimErg offers… Because there are metrics associated with a Vasa, I could see my power and pace improving. I knew and could feel I was stronger. I proved that in a few of my rare pool workouts, as well as in setting swim leg PR’s in several triathlons…”
— Ian Kurth, M.D., Age-Group Ironman Triathlete
“Time is my ultimate quandary so I consider the Vasa Swim Erg a must have tool. In my experience it correlates well with water swimming so I substitute 2 of my 4 swims with the erg. It’s easier than water to focus on perfect form. The varying resistance settings coupled with ability to monitor power output, distance and stroke rate result in swim specific strength that translate directly to the pool even for yardage minimalists like me.”
— Lisbeth Kenyon, Multiple Ironman Age-Group Champion
Consistent training on the Vasa SwimErg quickly builds swim-specific power & endurance while improving freestyle form efficiently. The air fan flywheel provides “swim feel” resistance. Track your progress with the precision ANT+ Power Meter including Right & Left arm power balance.
This indoor swim training tool does for swimming what bike trainers and treadmills do for your bicycling & running: “Get it done” with quality workouts that save time.
Targeted exercises strengthen exactly the muscles you need to make performance gains. Increased strength means greater speed when you need it. Improve your technique—fix common stroke flaws and transfer proper technique to the water. Train with triathlon-specific motions to become stronger with truly functional strength.
The Vasa Trainer is simply the best strength training machine for swimmers and triathletes.

One feature of the Vasa SwimErg that I have been playing around with is power balance. For those of you not familiar with the SwimErg, it is a swim bench similar to a rowing ergometer. Instead of sitting and rowing, you lie down on a bench and swim with two paddles. Since the paddles and [...]
