A Power Meter For Swimming? - eoSwimBetter

Спорт

The eoSwimBetter is like a power meter for swimming but they actually do so much more. But is it worth the price?
Here's the eoSwimBetter website: www.eolab.com/
And here's a link to the video that explains the data in more detail: • eo SwimBETTER explaine...
Here's the GoPro suction mount that I used with this tool: amzn.to/4b7oVtF
And I'm using the GoPro 11 but any GoPro would work: amzn.to/4auPb15

    Wow. Great review Matt but, at that price, I'll stay happy with being last out of the swim and having an easier time finding my bike in T1...

    When considering the cost of eo SwimBETTER it can help to think about it in the context of value and what you get from it. The reality is that triathletes often spend hundreds of dollars on accessories for their bikes, including anything from USD700 to 1500 for a power meter, without too much thought. These power meters are excellent, but they provide far less information than eo SwimBETTER does and have a lesser impact on improving efficiency. We’re all used to spending money on cycling but, other than googles and a swimsuit, our general expectation is that swimming is low cost or even free - depending on where you train. When you understand the level of data you get from eo SwimBETTER and how that will significantly assist in swimming better (and faster!) and lead to you conserving energy for the bike and run, then we believe it’s a no-brainer. If outlaying the cost in one go is out of reach, we also offer a six-month, interest free payment plan. Email our customer service team to find out more about this: support@eolab.com

    Amazing video quality Matt, you must spend so much time making them. Well done. Which watches are you also wearing while swimming? Would the Garmin Instict 2X be ok for swimming or is that more for running?

    Instinct 2X works for swimming and is an absolutely fantastic overall watch. It is big but I really like it. I’m always wearing different watches. I’m guessing throughout the 2 months of testing these handsets, I was wearing a lot of different watches. I tend to prefer Garmin for swimming. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

    Been using the EO for about 4 months... and, they are good for what they are designed to do and especially useful when combined with under water video (side-top-front). What is missing is real time feedback... combine with FORM goggles... perhaps? REAL-TIME feed back would make these device a goal mine of invaluable information and "must-have tool". I also wish there was more reference data so I could get a better feel of what EO considers a good form and provide solutions for developing a good form. More real life examples and referenced solutions would definitely help create a solution and not just information as it exists. For example, I have a stroke form that is similar to a the only data I have available of an elite level swimmer... but, my times are 33% less. Why? My power is what appears to be the reason. It is 20-25% less. So, what does that mean - exactly? Is the power scale 1 for 1 or is it exponential. Does this reflect body position... if so, how much doe this related to the EO power data? If there were more reference athletes to effectively understand the EO data, I think it would push this device from just information to valuable applicable of information. Oh, and did I mention 🙃, REAL-TIME FEEDBACK would definitely make the device invaluable 🤑.

    I had another coach also suggest that the EO team provide an ideal propulsion curve. Great idea. I bet it’s something they could add. Real time data feedback is going to be tricky but it’d be amazing to see those two companies work together. 🤞

    first amazing video as always i want to try this! i think the 90 minute be perfect for long open water swims. once you fine tune your short time i think for a team this be perfect. for myself as a button end age grouper i will get this once my budget allows. and going deeper when breather is correct. i switch sides so i notice that in my videos i have used. i used a garmin 360 and put it down on the floor in the middle of the lane. So it has me going it. also your kid is flying on backstroke! happy training

    It gives tons of numbers and graphs, but does it give you straight feedback, what is "optimal" number or graph in certain paragraph? Or what you should do to correct certain issue in graph? Or is it that you need to consult expert about you technique and problems?

    I think the goal of this new product is for you to become the expert with the data. But I don’t disagree with the criticism that that requires some work. Showing an ideal goal propulsion would be an awesome addition for this company to consider. They do talk about more of that on their KZread videos but it’d be cool to see it within the product. So much future work for this group!!!

    Why does the thumbnail say 75% propulsive? is that the target EO said is achievable? i finding these sensors really useful. I wish i could film my swims but the UK is very restrictive on filming in public pools.

    Yeah, filming in pools is very tricky. I guess I’m lucky where I’m at. I just wanted to put a high number up in the thumbnail and picked 75. It doesn’t mean anything in particular.

    Yeah, it for sure adds up. I hope that this company puts together a list of swim clinics using this tool in the future so that people could try it out, learn a little bit and then maybe consider buying one if they think it's worth the price.

    Yeah, it is! And you're still not guaranteed to get faster in the water. It'll still take work. The positives are that the product does what it says it does and the company is very helpful along the way.
