I've got a set and I can see the coaching being really good in an empty pool like you have in the video, but in a busy lane competing with heads up breaststroke swimmers my pacing is all over the place as I try to overtake or get stuck behind people. My pitch is also always too high as I have to look up to see who I'm about to swim into. Having the training plan built in is good, and having it count the lengths makes things easier, so they are of use to me, just not as much use as they would be if I could swim in an empty pool.
I've had Form goggles for a couple of years and like them a lot, but after awhile I started to just use them occasionally to check in on how I was doing. The new head coach feature is great, and I've been using them more as a result. My pitch and roll scores are high, but my return to neutral needs to be a bit quicker, and nothing beats real-time feedback for working on it. Also, I like the new Form Score a lot more than SWOLF as a measure of efficiency.
I have had a pair for while .They are great and so are their programs.Much of the coach is great the issues arrives when you are swimming in a heavy trafficked pool.
After watching your video on the Form goggles, which I just purchased. I tried the head coach out for head roll because I do have a issue on rolling and lifting my head too much. But going by goggles and looking @ my results I wasn't that bad, quite good actually, my score for head roll was 85 & for head pitch 81.
I really want to try these again. I had problems with these in the past. Made me feel dis orientated and messed up my flip turns. If they can improve my OWS to hold pace I would be super happy.
Interesting but very unlikely. You are moving much more slowly through the water and its much harder to displace than air so any drag savings that were found from reducing the bow wave would be negated by the larger frontal shape.
it´s great, but i think that having it integrated into the googles is an expensive solution, i understand that is impossible for now to have a modular system to replace the lens when they get old, but i think that in the midtime they could provide a separate sensor to put in any google even if we dont have the display in realtime, but this kind of data can be really usefull, also a sensor with an earpiece could be a good product for this kind of features.
@@kahotam7975I should have said "I saw it claimed" as I read it somewhere while researching them but their official line is if you need glasses then you'll need lenses to see them.

Swim goggles now come with Pong game lol
Great insights, really hope they do prescription goggles at some stage, also GTN you have a great crew in front and behind the camera
No prescription offering, I have to wear lenses to see them with my prescription.

Very true
As someone who swam competitively and is now a a swimming teacher and coach this is really cool just out of my budget for goggles.
you really should stop picking your nose, mark 🤣🤣🤣 18:38
Would be interesting if they added sightings instructions to the googles. I really like the other parts of head coaching that have been added.
I ordered a pair just this week and now very much looking forward to trying them out!

Is having such long hair in a bun under a cap more aero than having a more round shape in the same way bike helmets work?
Not suggesting she chops it off to test!
Ahaha I’ve always wondered this too😂

Had been wondering about these and hoping to get a pair. Hopefully Santa will bring them for Xmas!
Got them, love them, get them.
wtf did you do with your nose?
I’m wondering how it is using these with Head Coach if you have contacts in. Anyone tried? Thanks for doing this! Very helpful!
I only ordered them after watching this

Very nice video, will share to my swim coach.

dang thats cool. GOign to have to pick up a pair.
Now i know what i want for Christmas!😂
This has been so helpful! Thank you
It's cool
Can these be used during an Ironman event?
Yes, they are currently race legal.
Great video
specially as its pool day today, also, where is that resort in Tenerife? it looks ace location and am planning a winter camp
Awesome! The pool is at the Top Training resort, check it out here: gtn.io/TenerifeTopTraining
Thanks loads :) looks ace.
Also do y’all have any videos about winter training locations :)
i wish they do prescription goggles. Any idea up to what myopia prescription would the text be still readable?
I have a strong prescription (-6 on both eyes) and you can’t read the text without contacts in
They claim up to -6 but for me at -9 it is just a green blur without lenses in.
@@DigininjaRobinwhere do they have such claim?

useful video - do these goggles work in open water swimming?
Yes
