TritonWear develops wearable technology that enables better coaching – which creates superior athletes. TritonWear has developed a small, non-invasive unit that connects to the back of a swimmers goggle strap to calculate 15 key performance metrics for each athlete and sends that data to a coaches tablet in real time for every athlete in the pool. Once the workout is over, that data is uploaded to the cloud and synced with each swimmers profile to allow for tracking and analytics as never before in the sport to ensure swimmers stay on track and meet all of their goals.
