When summer leaves us, all those who love to go swimming can opt for indoor pools , since they are great places to practice a sport as healthy as this. Even in those moments, technology can help us in several ways, since we can have gadgets that will make life easier and offer us different options to enjoy in those moments.
There are certain things that we can enjoy in indoor pools and in which technological devices will be an essential part when swimming, whether you do it as a hobby or if your motivation is more professional.
Measurement of our activity
We can measure the activity we do when we start swimming, thanks to smartwatches and activity bracelets that have a specific sports mode for this sport. With this we will be able to know the calories we have burned, how far we have traveled, how much energy we have used, what our heart rate has been or what have been the moments of most effort among many other data.
Garmin Swim 2
This is a smartwatch built specifically for swimming that includes many features such as rest, critical speed, distance tracking, stroke count, stroke type, distance per stroke, and GPS tracking when swimming outdoors. This is an almost indispensable pool gadget.
It can function as a stopwatch to mark how long it takes you to swim in the pool, as well as being able to receive notifications from our smartphone such as messages or calls, as well as monitoring our activity heart rate.
Fitbit Inspire 2
Thanks to this activity bracelet we will be able to take complete control of all the exercise we do in the pool, since it has a good number of modes for sports, including swimming, so the data will be quite accurate.
As a good Fitbit product, this bracelet will be able to keep track of all the data of our effort , in addition to keeping a deep track of our heart rate while we are swimming.
We will also receive notifications or calls that reach our smartphone.
Huawei Watch GT2 Sport
If we do not want to wear such a specific watch or bracelet for exercise, we can opt for this Huawei watch, since it is also capable of measuring all the activity we do while swimming, including our heart rate , but it looks like a watch normal .
We can also receive notifications and we will see them very well on its 1.39-inch AMOLED screen .
Immortalize your best moments
We can also take gadgets to the pool that allow us to record or take photos of what we are doing, something that is extremely curious, especially if we record underwater.
In order to show these videos to our friends or expose them on social networks, we need to have devices with enough image quality to record underwater and at the same time be resistant.
GoPro Hero8 Black
This is the most famous sports camera brand out there right now and it has earned it hard, as their products are really good with level image quality and overall performance above the vast majority of their competition. It is the pool gadget that will give the most play.
We recommend this Hero8 because it has a very good quality when recording video, with great stabilization and a very well implemented underwater adjustment system.
In addition, we can handle it with our voice , since it has 14 commands to perform certain functions.
Victure AC900
As we know that not everyone can pay what a GoPro is worth, we also leave you this Victure camera that has a very good quality, it can even record in 4K thanks to its 20 megapixels.
In addition, it can be connected via WiFi , has an adjustable viewing angle, slow motion recording, and a 1,350 mAh battery. It is fully submersible up to 30 meters .
Take care of your smartphone
As we are going to take our smartphone to the pool and many of us do not trust to leave it in the lockers (if there are any), we must take care of it from the humidity that is in the closed pools and in the event of possible oversights, such as dropping the water.
But we also have a way of not running out of power on the mobile phone, in case we wait for an important call or just because we are not cut off.
That is why we are going to show you two gadgets that solve these two cases.
Yosh Rain Cover
To protect our smartphone it is very convenient to have a waterproof bag that, being watertight, protects it against moisture or water .
In this case we can put phones up to 7 inches inside this case, so the vast majority of those on the market will be compatible, so this pool gadget is almost essential.
Poweradd Pilot X7
An external battery is also good, since we may need to charge our smartphone, but it must have protection against water and humidity, otherwise we can have an unpleasant surprise.
That is why this powerbank that we show you is good, since in addition to having 20,000 mAh capacity and two USB 3.1 to charge two devices at the same time, it is also waterproof . It is a necessary pool gadget.
You can listen to music
Another thing you can do in the pool is listen to music, either while you are swimming or when you are out of the water. But for that you need waterproof headphones or speakers, like the ones we are going to present to you right now.
Sony NW-WS414
Although they may look like headphones, the truth is that we are facing an MP3 player with a capacity of 8 GB and fully compatible with water, so we can swim without any problem while wearing it.
In addition, the battery offers 12 hours of uninterrupted operation , so it will be difficult to run out of autonomy. It supports MP3, WMA, linear PCM and AAC formats.
Tayogo WP8-WHT
Thanks to this MP3 player we can listen to music while swimming, since we have 8 GB of internal memory to store our favorite sound files.
It is totally waterproof, since it is IPX8 certified and has a good battery life.
Sony SRSXB01W
We can also listen to ours without needing headphones, although as it is a closed place we have to control the volume so as not to disturb.
And for that this compact Sony Bluetooth speaker is ideal, since it has IPX5 water resistance, totally wireless and is capable of broadcasting the music we have on our smartphone clearly and with very good sound. A highly recommended pool gadget.
