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
How secure did you find the device? Did you tuck it under a cap or just under the goggles strap? I've struggled with the Tempo trainer staying secured without a cap. Tucking it under the cap didn't feel right, and I found it a bit of a pain to start.
At first I secured it under my goggle's strap. There is an indentation or a "valley" designed into the body of Firebelly to accomodate the strap. It works fine, but eventually I preferred to have it behind my ear and therefore tucked it under my cap. It just felt more comfortable for me behind my ear. Both places felt secure however.
I do USRPT exclusively so having the interval pre-set for each workout means you don't have to worry about the start button very often.
