Hi,
I've always loved swimming during the summer. I just graduated college and was thinking about making an iPhone app for swimmers.
The thing is, I never was a competitive swimmer, mostly using a local lake. Would greatly appreciate some feedback and input. :)
So: What features would you like in an app?
And: Would a feature to record swim times of standard swims (100 *** SCY) be useful? Would it be good for training purposes or more used for recording meet results?
Thanks!
Check out this for the super-souped-up future of swimming metrics -- www.avidasports.com/index.html -- but you'd need sensors on the body feeding data back to the phone/app.
I struggle to see, though, what kind of app I'd use unless it had some sensor technology associated with it. I'd love to have essentially a garmin forerunner type sensor + app (buy.garmin.com/.../shop.do that could track my performance in a pool workout (e.g., heart rate, strokes per length, stroke rate, pace, etc.) in the same way that my wife gets to track her running workouts. Of course, I think to get that I'd essentially need some like what AvidaSports offers.
