eo SwimBETTER Reviews
Great for new and masters swimmers
“I started swimming when i was 36 and one of my biggest frustrations is when a coach tells me I have to develop a feel for the water. With EO I can sheet and actually look at what my hands are doing to propel me forward with out years of trial and error. Since getting the devices 6 months ago I have dropped 4 seconds off my 100 free time. The team is also very responsive in helping you use the device and understand the data. It is also great for masters swimmers who have little time to train an often little personal feedback from coaches. With Swimbetter I always have a coach at my fingertips giving me a stroke by stroke analysis of how I can improve.”

Triathlete approved
“This product has the potential to be a game changer for me. Taking swim vids is difficult to do on a regular basis and this product makes it easy to get detailed feedback after every swim. I'm stoked to get my coach's advice on fixing my deficiencies and getting one big step closer to Kona. The customer service is also over the top.”

THE must have tool for swimmers & triathletes looking to improve swim technique!
“The data identifies areas of my stroke to improve = training focus = improving technique = less effort to swim faster! I love eo SwimBetter! Get these – don’t get left behind!
The eo SwimBetter handsets track every detail of your stroke, showing you the force distribution of your hand, stroke consistency, and more. The best part? I can dive deep into the data or skim to quickly spot areas for improvement.”

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.”

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.”
