Speedo is undoubtedly one of the most popular brands in swimming clothing and materials. But what many do not know is that it has an interesting android app call speedo on with which you can monitor your Workout in the pool.
It jumped for the first time on wearable devices, to later become a sports android application, essential for swimming practice.
Speedo On, the ideal app for swimmers and swimming practice
Born from the union with Samsung
Application speedo on it was introduced at the same time as the Samsung Gear Fit 1 and Samsung Gear 2 watches. The idea was to promote the purchase of these watches among swimmers, who usually have few options when it comes to wearables. Creating an app for them could certainly be a good idea.
But the reality is that it is not necessary for us to have any of these devices to be able to enjoy the app. Simply, if we do not have a wearable, we will have to enter the data manually.
Swimming without a wearable
Although it loses a lot of points, using Speedo On without a watch is possible, and we can also connect it with apps like Garmin Connect or Misfit.
All you have to do is time how long it takes you to do a lap and count the number of laps you do. To the enter the data manually in the app, it will calculate variables such as distance, speed, etc.
Training with the Samsung Gear Fit 2
If you have one of Samsung's sports wearables, you won't need to install this app on it, as it comes pre-installed by default. You will only have to start it from the applications installed on the watch and in a matter of seconds you will be starting to keep track of your training.
Nor will it be necessary for you to have your mobile next to the pool while you train and play sports. You can perfectly leave it at home, that as soon as it reconnects via Bluetooth with the watch, it will be synchronized and the data will begin to arrive.
If we want to waste even less time starting the training, there is a clock widget which allows us a quick start. When we open the app, we will need to enter the side of the pool we are swimming on. We can also set a goal of distance, time, or simply put the mode against the clock, to time the training.
Once we start the swimming session, we will not need to put the bracelet on water mode, since at the moment this app starts, the wearable will assume that we are swimming and will start automatically.
When we have finished the training and synchronized the data, we will have all the distance, time and intensity data expressed graphically on our smartphone. Thus, we will be able to carry out an exhaustive control of our progress in a comfortable way, directly from our smartphone.
