This could be the best activity tracker for swimmers, ever

Swimmerix

Swimmerix is an activity tracker designed for swimmers, offering both accurate measurement and real-time guidance.

The wrist-worn device is just first piece of the puzzle. The second is the base station unit which works in tandem with the band to precisely track one’s movements while in and out of the water. The wearable will also guide swimmers of all levels towards their predefined goal by glowing green (go faster), blue (maintain tempo), yellow (slow down) and red (training finished).

The stationary base unit requires swimming in the pool, but Swimmerix will also work in lakes or the sea. When in the pool, users will get that much better results since both the wrist-worn unit and the one outside of the pool have sensors of their own.

Other parts of the system include a mobile app and a cloud-based service, the latter of which provides comprehensive reporting on improving training methods and performance.

Swimmerix is in the midst of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter where it’s looking to raise £24,000 in pre-orders. The early bird price is set at £69 with shipments expected to begin in October of this year.
