How Does the PoolMate Pro Work?

The PoolMate Pro contains MEMS accelerometers (first used by NASA) to capture the motion of your arms.  The software times your swim and calculates lap count, average strokes, speed, calories and efficiency levels so you can work on improving your technique.

Efficiency

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 PoolMate Pro has a swimming efficiency index that gives feedback about the efficiency of your swimming.  By monitoring this, you can see how you improve over time.  The efficiency index is the time taken to swim 25 m, plus the number of strokes on the arm you wear the watch on to cover this distance.

Testing

The PoolMate Pro has been extensively tested by a wide variety of swimmers over a 2 year period.  Swimovate have a database of hundreds of kms of swimming and an accuracy rate of over 99.75%.  There are tens of thousands of PoolMates being worn everyday and helping swimmers all over the world.

Please note that the PoolMate Pro is only available in black but is now MAC compatible.
