Wondering if anyone here has seen or heard of this? My sister-in-law just sent me this page. Looks like its inventor is just getting things kicked off. Maybe he is here - says he is a Masters swimmer. Looks to be a device that calls out information to you on your turns - stroke count, tempo, split time, distance, etc. I've been trying to find a smart watch that will show me a stopwatch and heart rate at the same time since there aren't sufficient clocks where I swim, but still haven't found one. I might be able to use this device in lieu of a stopwatch, and just have a device to show my heart rate. This also apparently sends info to one's smart phone at the end of the workout.
I am really intrigued by this: www.indiegogo.com/.../firebelly-swimming-improved-fitness
I've been using the Firebelly for about a year now and am extremely impressed. Very easy to use - just slide it under the goggle straps, set the mode you want with the press of a button and you're good to go. Automatically detects your turns to give you splits and total time without having to press any buttons. I especially like it when I'm training on my own as a motivator to push myself. And yes, you can view your times and splits in a smartphone app (connects via Bluetooth). As you may be able to tell, I'm a big fan and I highly recommend it. Haven't found anything else out there that comes close to this.
