Back in , Form made – and you’ll have to forgive me the most inevitable pun in history – a big hit with its first smart swimming goggles. The company has had several since then, and this is just the latest version of its HeadCoach software, designed to deliver personalized swim coaching using AI.
Available through Form Premium, HeadCoach 2.0 effectively functions as a virtual coach, analyzing each stroke and providing immediate feedback within the Form app. It will highlight both your strengths and areas for improvement, reminding you what to focus on via the glasses’ augmented reality display.
HeadCoach 2.0 analyzes metrics such as distance per stroke (DPS), heart rate, pace and heart rate, as well as your personal fitness score and existing app data. The information can be tailored to a goal you have set, such as improving your technique or preparing for a race, with HeadCoach focusing on what you should try to achieve in your next session to achieve your goals.
HeadCoach 2.0 insights are based on data from millions of swims, with input from professional coaches and Olympic swimmers. The idea seems to be virtual guidance based on data and informed by humans, so you can trust the feedback you receive in the app.
HeadCoach 2.0 is now available to all Form Premium subscribers, which costs $10 per month after a one-month free trial.
