Stop in for a cup of coffee
I understand all that...but don’t you agree that these digital goggles are really cool? :D
I didn't watch the whole ad until you said that...
Yes, they are cool, but how does it know when the starting gun goes off???
It would be cool to see your pace as you swim so you can put out that extra effort...
In the old days you just had to blast as hard as you could anyway... When we went to AAU meets back then where there were more than team and one heat in your event, you were racing the clock more than the other swimmers in the pool at the time... You could beat all 5 other swimmers in that race, and still not place because the heat after you with the faster swimmers could all beat your time and bump you back down... The slower heats swam first and the faster heats followed...
It wasn't mandatory to go to the AAU meets, we volunteered and most of our team mates showed up... It gave us more experience for racing in the big meets like conference where there was more than one heat per race in that age group... The one on one meets with only one team and one heat were much easier to gauge where you stood while racing as you only had to beat all of the other swimmers in the race at that time...
Those digital goggles would be great in an AAU meet where you are racing the clock...
