    "There are many apps and devices that support the training of people who run or ride a bike. However, it's not the case for swimming,” says Mateusz Heleniak, Swimmo Trainer Inc's CEO. “The market lacks a solution that provides monitoring of swimming and improving one's results.

    Off the top of my head;
    Garmin Swim
    Garmin 910XT/310XT/Fenix
    Finis Swimsense
    Swimovate
    Polar RCX5
    Timex Ironman
    etc etc etc

    It would want to be some start-up that betters those companies!

    been looking at this over the last few weeks, looks promising but I think I'll hold off until the production version is out or maybe a second release.

    I see it's got an open water swim mode too which is cool. I wonder how accurate the mapping functionality will be.
    Open Water Swim Mode - take your Swimmo outside of the pool. Measure your performance while training in a lake, river or sea! Swimmo will learn from your previous trainings about stroke length and use an algorithm to extrapolate that in open water mode (similar like Nike+ in running). This will prevent GPS disconnection problems and result in more accurate measurements! In development we focused to make as best algorithm possible and focus on that in terms of quality, easy to use, etc. We expect more than 85% accuracy with that, far more than with GPS module and its disconnection problems.
