Swimmo has a full-colour OLED screen which sits nicely on the wrist, strapped into place using a modern polymer material that’s nice to touch and doesn’t cause skin irritation.

Swimmo’s features include an innovative heartbeat sensor that captures accurate recognition directly from the swimmers wrist and a communication feature that lets users know when to speed up, slow down or stay at a certain pace, this is due to an integration with IntensityCoach™ and PaceKeeper™ technologies. The swimmers are made aware of these communications via a series of vibration frequencies.
