Zwim Goggles Bring HUD Tech to the Pool

You may always want to keep track of time in a swimming session. You may also want to check your pace while swimming. A big old clock on the side of the pool might have been helping, but in a very limited way.

Zwim displays time by a fraction of a second. You may initiate a beginning of a session by pressing the start button on the device. Then you will be able to check elapsed time as you continue to swim. Combined with turn-detection of the motion sensor, Zwim will track lap times and make them available for you at any time.
When you do an interval training, you will push yourself hard in the anaerobic state. When you do a long-distance training, you will try to stay in the aerobic zone for most of the time. Or, when you swim for fat-burn, you will want to know how much calories are consumed. Across all of these cases, monitoring heart-rate will play an important role for effective training.

Zwim integrates with a high-accuracy optical heart-rate sensor that will be placed on the temple. The design of Zwim is optimized to achieve accurate detection of heart-rate by keeping the sensor fastened on the temple.

Human's short-term memory is weak. You may feel it becomes worse when you are counting laps on your own as you swim. An abacus, a flapping lap counter, a chunky gadget on your finger, or your coach's yelling might have been helping, but, again, in an insufficient way. A swimming watch still won't be an ultimate solution, since you are not able to read it with your arm stroking.

Zwim will be the replacement of these unwieldy methods. It automatically detects your action when you make a turn and shows you the count of laps, lap time, and other lap-related data, thanks to an embedded motion sensor and sophisticated software algorithm on top of it.

Compared to smart watches for swimming that detect laps based on the random motion of a wrist, Zwim runs an algorithm performed by tracking direction of the movement of your head and body which is a more substantial source for lap detection algorithm. Zwim eventually is capable of accomplishing higher accuracy in detecting laps than swimming watches.

The amount of calorie consumed during a workout is calculated more accurately when alteration of physical intensity over the workout period is applied to the formula. This physical intensity is derived from the heart-rate data. Zwim calculates accurate calories you have burned during a workout based on the collected heart-rate output.

Via settings, you may configure the number of sections per screen between 1 to 4, and you are allowed to choose a data type for each section. Besides, you may set up multiple screens with different configurations on your own so that you can switch between screens with a single press of a button in workout time.
