Project SWIM

Project SWIM

To celebrate the launch of our new cyber home in 2009, FINIS created Project SWIM – a series of contests promoting swim education through the FREE distribution of our most popular swim technology! Look for new chances to win free gear each month in this Project SWIM contest section.


The Circuit Trainer has been an invaluable training tool in the application of our athlete conditioning programs. It allows me to work directly with the athletes while maintaining perfect timing of training intervals.

It is one of the best training tools and I highly recommend it.
