eo SwimBETTER Reviews
A new way of looking at the stroke
“I’m very impressed with the eo SwimBETTER device. It opens up a whole new way of looking at the stroke. I haven’t seen anything like it before. Very insightful. It will open a new door for coaches and sports scientists towards optimizing the swimming stroke.”

Insane data
“The data that I'm accumulating and analysing with eo SwimBETTER is insane. Who would have thought after all this time swimming at the highest level I'd be finding so many areas of improvement. If you're chasing better performances in the pool, I'd highly recommend the investment.”

Limitless Potential
“I have been working with the team at eo for a while now as a coach and the data that I have been able get on my athletes has the potential to change the way we look at technical feedback for swimming into the future.”

An explosion of data to analyse. Insights you never had before. Be careful!
“A truly ground breaking product capturing data you never had access to before.
It can be overwhelming at first and I was a little lost to begin with. I then began to chip away methodically at stuff - imbalance left versus right, flat recovery on one side not on the other, why is my left hand much shallower on the catch than the right, why (an when) am I pushing water out to the side.
Coupled with some video footage, you can make great progress on self analysis.
It’d be great to have some sample videos to offer up pointers on how to apply the data insights, otherwise you’re just collecting it for no benefit.
I have the 15min recording option and although I can stop and download the info at the pool and go again I’d probably go for the longer recording version if I were to purchase again.
The set up of the device requires you to read the instructions thoroughly though once you get it it becomes very intuitive. A tip I was given was to double tap a button to start the recording and then put your hands in the water (not all of us can dolphin kick for 3 sec off the wall!)
Room for improvements? Sometimes the buttons don’t always do what you need. A double tap doesn’t start a recording session. I’ve found it useful to try the opposite hand when this happens.
The dashboard needs improvement, even a simple order by date filter would be an improvement to easily finding your most recent swim.
Summary - a fantastic product if you can afford it, just keep focusing on where you can improve and not just log your data.”

Improved Swimming Technique and Efficiency with SwimBETTER Handsets
“Using SwimBETTER handsets for several weeks, I identified areas of improvement in my stroke path and worked closely with my swim coach to make necessary corrections. While my technique is imperfect, I have seen improved efficiency and speed with less effort. I am eager to continue analyzing my progress with the eo Dashboard's comprehensive statistical data.”

My experience w/ eo
“The device is very good. To add I would say to be able to select a section and be able to see averages of that particular section (dps, force, ...). Also to be able to see the lap time and make comparisons between laps.
It would be great to be able to add a video to my force graph to see at what point in the stroke we are losing force.
But a great product.”

Great tool
“The setup of the sensors takes between 10-20s, then you are ready to go. The data is for the most part easy to interpret and immediately helps to make the next attempt better.
The tool is a gamechanger and worth the money! At the same time, it is still in development and in some corners it is still expandable, but the regular updates make it a bit better every time.”

What a wonder!
“Bought it to use maybe once a week, and have ended up using it every time I swim! Training just doesn't feel the same without it!”

Exactly what I've been waiting for
“The eo SwimBETTER system is what I have been waiting for since I began coaching in 1970. I have used tethered machines, digitized video, among other systems to analyze stroke efficiency. This system allows me to see the points in the stroke where horizontal propulsive force is lost. This is critical in working with swimmers to develop the most efficient strokes possible. Most importantly, the "% propulsion" graphic is easy to understand for both the swimmer and the coach. This feedback enhances the swimmer's understanding of the kinds of changes they need to make and where they need to make them. Coupled with video, eo SwimBETTER will be an incredible tool for improving swimming efficiency.”

A swimming coaches dream
“The eo SwimBETTER system is going to change the way coaches and scientists evaluate technique and performance. I love how simple it is to get to the root of any performance data, and it can drill down into any analytic you could ever want to study or evaluate. As coaches come to grips with what it can do for them, they're going to realise that this device is a game changer in helping athletes achieve their full organic potential.”
