New swimming gizmo

I can see where this would be a great training tool, having the constant feedback on your time at various stages of training. I always have trouble on my 200, going out too quick and coming home too slow. Knowing that type of info real time could really help with getting your pace correct. I'd still probably stink it up in the race, however.

Gotta love the wave of the future w/ all this technology but what if it breaks, do you get zapped? Yikes! :eek:

Where i went to college, Knox college, the student union is called the Gizmo or the giz for short.

Isn't this illegal for meets/ How would you check fir it at a meet?

Wow! Those are amazing. I know I often fall victim to losing count and time, so I can see this being a huge asset. I bet it costs a fortune though.

Well she's not all that bright as she said she would swim 20 laps and trick herself in to thinking she swam 25 ... I always know whether I've swum an even amount or an odd amount of laps at least ... All kidding aside, that would be cool ...

but distracting as H(*LL. I think there was something like this out a few years ago. I remember it was something that was stuck on the lens and at least gave you the time. I've got enough problems seeing in the water without having something stuck right at the end of my eyelashes!

This is an interesting technology that gives a bit more information than the Time Window. I have used the Time Window off and on for a few years. There is a little suction cup where you can attach it to your goggles and a little leash so that when they fall off (which has happened a few times) you don't lose them. It is a little tricky to position them on the right spot on your goggles but once you do that it doesn't take much time to get used to seeing the time. The TW works fairly well but they don't have a lap counter. However, if you know about where you should be in your split, you should be OK. They are great for swimming a negative split repeat and for learning pace. Look in the Keifer catalog I think they are around $25. Also when the battery dies you can send it back to the company and for a small price will install a new battery. Glenn

Is that a nike swoosh on the front of those goggles? Are these being marketed by Nike and are they out yet. The article was very vague. Only telling what they googles could do. This would be perfect for working out as long as the battery last for a while. To bad you can't replace it yourself & save a bit of bux.

Originally posted by msgrupp but distracting as H(*LL. If you wear glasses, you will find that you tend to block out smudges and scratches on the lenses unless you think about them. I suspect a swimmer using this product will develop the ability to block out the display unless s/he wants to focus on it.
