    For sale a 6 month old Swimsense, perfect condition.

    €185 new, looking for €100

    Neat, small, good battery life. Can analyse your sessions in detail, stroke, stroke rate, swolf plus much muhc more. Very telling to see the breakdowns of your 25m lengths that make up a 400m TT. Very useful feedback on pacing.

    Why are you getting rid of it? You getting a 910 instead?

    Yeah, looking at a PM change in phases. Head unit now, PM in a few months. 910xt does TSS/IF/NP so there ya go. Does the swimming as well, was happy with the swimsense but don't need two ways of doing the same thing. Actually the swimsense is slightly superior in that it does auto start and autostop of intervals.

    Apologies, OT but wondering what PM you are moving to?

    I'll give you €100 for it. "Rayo" said he might be able to arrange pickup for me if that suits?

    kind of Ironic after your Athy race report ;-)

    Swimsense is excellent for swimming in a pool.

    Considering getting a water proof case for my phone and water proof head phones and then writing an app for my phone that will use GPS to determine if you are swimming in a straight and and if not give you audio cues......


  • Registered Users Posts: 123 ✭✭speedyj


    In that case I'll write one too that alerts me to where you are in the water so I can draft off you :-) Would be an improvement on where I currently come out..

    I was going to talk to Peter about it first.

    Seriously though. Undecided. 80% chance I will change. Only ones ruled out are Powertap (too many wheelsets), Polar Pedals(No faith in Polar)

    I heard that some of Peter's athletes don't even use a watch or pool clock... they count the seconds in their head as they swim.... old school.

    Could explain how they improve so much.

    <german accent> : count faster fatty.........


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭Fazz


    Yeah I think it's counter productive...

    They train to race....

    But then get to races and use them for training....

    :p;)

    Must be missing a few gadgets to tell them to go faster.:P

    So in summary, Tunneys watch will help you track your training which you can then use to train in your racing... Got it? :D

    Gone now. I'm back to using the force and a dreamcatcher for recording my swims


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,359 ✭✭✭peter kern


    those dreamcatcher can be very forceful
    I have a girl that improved 7.5 min with one of those over a 40k tt
    ( and using cosmic wheels) in last 8 weeks. and in between she won her first triathlon and nat series race.

    That looked like time trialing yesterday, and then they smashed themselves in the open water with proper drafting, positioning sighting training ....... I guess there is still no garmin for this ;-)
    but on the kernometer it looked ok. and kilkee can come.
