Vasa Trainer Pro swim bench
The Vasa Trainer Pro loads the athlete with their own body weight: the swimmer lies on a bench that rolls on an aluminium monorail, and the load is set by the angle of the rail. The telescopic front post locks at 15 heights, which gives 15 load levels without weights, and a rubber harness returns the bench and can be extended to reduce the load further. Paddles reproduce the pull of the stroke, while handles and slings turn the same frame into a strength station for more than 200 exercises.
Two versions share the same frame and dimensions. AVVS1001 has steel posts with an anti-corrosion epoxy coating and is intended for individual training and for intensive commercial use in rooms of moderate humidity. AVVS1005, the Trainer Pro SE, has stainless steel posts and may be installed directly on a wet surface — the pool surround, or an outdoor lawn — so a club can run land work beside the water instead of in a separate gym. Vasa is the manufacturer of both versions.
