Pool Mate Swim Watch by Swimovate Now in

Now in and available at ATHelite



The Pool-Mate is the only fully automatic Swimming Computer. Simply press the Start button and begin to swim.

No forgetting your lap count!

No pressing buttons at the end of each lap!

Pool-Mates have been sold to 60 countries all around the world since our launch in September and they have had amazing feedback from our swimmers.

The Pool-Mate uses state of the art MEMS accelerometers to measure the acceleration of the wrist during the swim stroke. Advanced digital signal processing techniques and software algorithms have been developed by their engineers to pick out the stroke and lap information for the recognised swimming strokes. Works with Front Crawl, BackCrawl, Breaststroke and Butterfly, all sizes of pool over 15m, without calibration.

As well as lap counting the Pool-Mate will do much more. It will display and store Session Time, Average Strokes per lap, Speed, Distance, Calories and Efficiency.

In addition to the statistics for the overall session it will record the same data for each individual set so you can see how all these metrics change through a swim session. You can even time your rest periods between sets. All data is stored in a large memory for review during or after a swim session (up to 400 LOGS can be stored). The Pool-Mate is available in different colour options - grey/blue, black/blue.

Numerous studies and respected coaches stress the value of stroke counting as a valued way to improve swimming efficiency. Reducing the number of strokes per lap increases efficiency. The Pool-Mate has a unique swimming efficiency index that gives feedback about the efficiency of your swimming. By monitoring this so you can see how you improve over time.

We have designed a complete bespoke watch specifically for swimmers. All aspects of the watch from the strap to the display and electronics have been designed by Swimovate. Features include lightweight, flexible PU strap, easy to read display, stainless steel buttons, backlight and double secure fastening.

The Pool-Mate has been extensively tested by a wide variety of swimmers over a 2 year period. They have a database of hundreds of kms of swimming and an accuracy rate of over 99.75%. The watch has full CE and FCC approvals.

RRP £69.99
