Mauna Coaches Review the FORM Smart Swim Goggles
As you know, at Mauna we are all about sweat, tech and data! Our coaches were asked to test and review the FORM Smart Swim Goggles, and you can see their expert testimonials below!
A LITTLE ABOUT THE FORM SMART SWIM GOGGLES:
They are the only swim goggles with a smart display that deliver metrics like split times, distance, stroke rate/count, calories, pace per 100, Heart Rate —intelligently, as you swim.
Display: The see-through smart display is built right into the goggles lens, delivering metrics without obstructing your vision. The outdoor-readable see-through display can be worn over left or right eye.
Design and fit: Featuring a hydrodynamic profile and high-grade materials, with 7 included nose bridge sizes for a watertight seal and an optimal fit. They have a permanent, chemical-resistant anti-fog coating. This is wearable tech, not any ol’ swim google (that you would have to replace every so often). Battery life lasts a whopping 16 hours swim time!
Data: The FORM Swim App lets you analyze your metrics out of the pool, customize the smart display on your FORM Smart Swim Goggles, and connect with the FORM community. Your swim activities can also be uploaded to Training Peaks, Strava, and other third party softwares.

“As a pro athlete, the FORM Smart Swim Goggles are an amazing upgrade to my swim. Being able to have live reading of your data while you are doing an interval is a real breakthrough: technology for athletes!
As a coach I am really happy to know that my athletes have immediate feedback during their swim that allows them to pace correctly. They are no longer starting too hard and struggling at the end.
I'm also really excited about the new feature for open water swimming, it is real a game changer!”

“Having the FORM Smart Swim Goggles has been an amazing tool to use in my training. I have been swimming for over 15 years and I’ve always had a hard time seeing the pace clock and knowing how to pace myself. Now, I have all the information shown instantly to me in real time. I can’t wait to take them out on an ocean swim with the new open water feature.”

“I am completely blown away by these goggles! Training in the pool got even more engaging. I am always one who is very attentive to holding a pace and tracking my times and progress. Having everything displayed directly in the corner of my eye showing my splits every lap helps motivate me and know where I am every step of the way during my workout.
It is so important to be able to know your times in order to get faster and not just mindlessly swim. For coaching purposes, it is so simple to be able to see my athletes pace times with the simple app it uploads to directly.
There are so many features yet they are so simple to use only having 2 buttons.
I am SO excited in particular about the open water feature. It is hard to accurately track distance and speed while being out in the water and see it then and there, yet FORM goggles allow you to see everything as you go. I can’t believe how far technology has come and how lucky we are to have such an innovative piece of swim gear!”

“As an athlete, having live data in front of your eyes is a real game changer! It helps keep you focused in the water, and the app is great for analyzing your swim and gathering even more data!
As a coach, knowing that my athletes can pace their sessions correctly is great and it is one less thing for them to worry about, which means they can focus on other aspects of their swim development.”

“Form Smart Swim Googles are an amazing tool for lap and open water swimming. They give you live readings on your metrics while you are swimming. No more guessing of the pace at which you're doing your intervals or sets. Now you get pace per 100, distance, stroke rate and even heartrate readings on real time. It's been a game changer for my swimming. It allows me to start and finish my intervals at the right effort level. Very simple to setup and use allowing you to focus just on swimming. I encourage all my athletes to wear them on every session. They will absolutely level up their swimming.’’

“Being a very data driven & analytical with both my personal athletic performance and as a coach, Form Smart Swim Goggles became the perfect tool, as it allows me to take this into practice when it comes to swimming and coaching.
I am a big fan of disruptive technology and what FORM contributes to swimming is out of this world. Being able to track different metrics and customize it in real time is really changing the game for athletes training in a pool environment.
As a coach, being able to analyze all this data on FORM’s App or other third-party apps like Training Peaks makes my job so much easier and helps me give tools and insights to my athletes on a whole new level.”
