Hi All,
A buddy of mine and I were talking on the way over to IMMD about GPS for swim goggles to help reduce sighting and swim straighter. There seems to have been a few attempts over the years with prototypes as well as actual goggles (on course) but I've never seen anyone using them. As a long time triathlete I can see the benefit of having something that helps me swim straighter and sight less.
I'm thinking of starting to tinker with a prototype. Curious to the group's thoughts on their interest if such a device were available. It would be designed so that you could mount it to your existing goggles; you could take it off when you are at the pool (only using during racing); and could move from one set of goggles to another, say for under $100 would it be something you buy? What if you could trial it at a race for $25 and then apply that fee to the purchase of a device, like saddle rentals?
