Modern watches have many roles. It is a trainer that monitors the growth or decline of physical indicators and stores training data. It is a motivator that reminds you of the training sessions and tasks set for the week.


At the end of the training session, this cool swimming gadget summarizes the results by determining the following data:

- total distance and number of completed pools

- time to overcome one pool

- average indicators: number of strokes and speed

- average training efficiency.

Waterproof MP3 Players

Music is a favorite companion of many athletes. Ordinary headphones are leaky, even if they have good protection from splashes — so you can not swim in them. Swimming gadgets and their uses are so varied. People invented waterproof devices for swimming that can withstand water. There are different versions of such devices: with or without headphones.  Let's focus on those that work with the help of bone conduction technology. Such swimming pool gadgets are symmetrical sensors that are fixed at the level of the cheekbones. They transmit a sound wave to the inner ear. Devices of this type have different degrees of water resistance, battery and memory capacity.

Metronomes

Metronomes are cool swimming pool gadgets. This accessory is necessary for distributing forces to pass the distance. It is designed to develop a sense of time and control the frequency of strokes. This device significantly increases the efficiency of power consumption.


Stopwatch

A stopwatch is a must-have in the arsenal if you need to track the most accurate time of the distance traveled in the pool or open water. This compact smart device performs several functions at once: it measures the total time and segments, displays the pace, frequency of the stroke and the cut-off for entering/exiting the water, and more.

Swimming paddles

Swimming paddles — training equipment that helps improve the technique of rowing. These are special plates that are put on the fingers or hand and increase the water capture area. They help to enhance the skills and work out the muscles of the hands and forearms. When you use the swimming paddles, your hands will adhere to the same amplitude and trajectory of movement during swimming without equipment.

Leg float

Best swimming pool gadgets include and leg floats. It clamped between legs so that the swimmer can swim only by working with hands.

This object is made of non-wearing unsinkable material (usually foam) so that it is pushed out of the water, keeping the lower part of the body afloat.

Fitness bracelet

A fitness bracelet will help you measure the number of circles. The device counts how many times you swam from one end of the pool to the other. Before starting the exercise, you must specify the length of the pool. Usually, it is 25 or 50 meters. It also counts the speed and distance. This gadget can even detect a swimming style. Most fitness bracelets perfectly distinguish four styles: breaststroke, crawl, butterfly, back.


Swimming board

The board can be applied to train footwork. Holding the swimming board, you only swim at the expense of your legs. It is valuable because many people forget about footwork, especially when swimming with a crawl.

Massagers

Muscle relaxation after a workout is good for health! Massagers help to relieve fatigue, normalize blood circulation and restore muscle tone. Some even have a heating function, thanks to which the pain in the muscles disappears.


Underwater Communicator

It is necessary for the rapid transmission of the coach's comments to the swimmer during training. There are already several types of such devices- most often these are headphones that work via Bluetooth or using an application. It provokes a short signal break-off. However, there is another unique swim coach communicator — SONR. It is a compact disc-shaped radio receiver that can be placed anywhere on the swimmer’s head — under the swimming cap or on the goggles using a clip. The coach talks into a regular walkie-talkie while the swimmers hear the voice in real-time even when their ears are underwater.

Underwater Communicator
