 Heart rate under water in the wrist

Specifically, thanks to its submersible capacity of up to 5 ATM, this new device allows you to carry out an advanced control of the activity, both in the pool and in open water.

In this way, it monitors the heart rate under water directly from the wrist, without the need for a chest band.

 Advanced stroke control

To provide the data with the greatest precision, Swim ™ 2 is equipped with an accelerometer that detects arm movements and is responsible for measuring three basic data: number of strokes, number of lengths and type of stroke.

In turn, an algorithm based on turn detection determines when each length ends and the distance is calculated based on the size of the pool and the number of lengths made.

All of the above is complemented to provide the swimmer with the most important and valuable information, preventing him from being forced to count his lengths or strokes.

Registration of exercises and personalized training

Swim ™ 2 is able to record the distance traveled, the pace used, the speed, the number of strokes, the type of stroke and even the swolf score.

A parameter that performs a calculation based on the strokes made plus the time invested in each length. In this way, the athlete will know its effectiveness and can set new goals to reduce it as much as possible.

To all this is added its ability to store technical exercises and timed series, and carry out personalized workouts.

Similarly, it includes a new Auto Rest function and rhythm alerts, which makes it the perfect companion for all swimming levels.

Swimming in open water

Oceans, seas, lakes and rivers. Now, with this new version it is also possible to record the activity in open water.

For this, Swim ™ 2 uses GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO simultaneously, which make it possible to have the location with total accuracy via satellite, in addition to knowing the distance and speed of the stroke of the stroke.
