With all the health apps out there there has to be one for swimming now. The Xmetrics is that new device. This device can do a lot of things like be your own personal trainer which tells them info as they are swimming. Other really cool things that you can do with Xmerics is that you can share your information on the web or your social media sites. On there Indiegogo web site you can read more information like who are the creators, about the device itself and what it comes with, and many more details.
There are two different types of Xmerics devices that you can chose from they are Xmetrics FIT and the Xmetrics PRO. For the Xmetrics FIT it will provide real time audio feedback and keep track of laps to swim efficiency. This device also comes with other options too. For the Xmetrics PRO it also has audio feedback and you can also review your swimming data with your coach. Besides these features their are other cool features about this device that you can read about on the different links, that I have provided for you. While they, the company, were working on making this device, they were wanting to "outshine" there competitors like Ucoach, Finis Stroke Lab, and Garmin.
Here are some questions that I would like for you to answer.
1. What do you think of this device, having a personal coach talking to you as you are swimming...
2. Would you get one if you were a swimmer or tell your friends that swims a lot?
If you have any other comments or opinions that you would like to add, please comment them.
It seems like a good idea to improve performance and training efficiency. I wouldn't mind using one and I would definitely recommend one to a friend who swims. It's funny because, as a former football player, I've wondered about how soon before they put microphone and speaker technology inside football helmets. I always though that would be pretty cool to get a play call from your coach on the sideline through a speaker in your helmet. It seems pretty futuristic but, I bet that it happens one day.
ReplyDeletei like this, even though i dont swim. It is similar to a nike I.D for running which does the same for runners as the Xmetrics does for swimmers as far keeping track of data and recording information. I think for a competitive swimmer this can take their training to new levels by providing feed back and showing progress.
ReplyDeleteIf i swam a lot i think it would be cool, but I don't swim enough for it to be worth it. Like Santi said, this is perfect for competitive swimmers, people trying to get to the olympics, etc.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a very cool device. This is something I can see a lot of competitive swimmers use and love. I do not swim at all but it would be something I would inform to someone who like to swim. I think all athletes like being able to track their hard work and this device helps with that.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a very cool idea. I feel like this could be more of a motivational way to get you to compete better, and perform at the highest level. Being an athlete, you always want to know how much of your hard work has paid off and this gadget here is a good way for that. I would definitely recommend it to someone who swam on a daily basis.
