ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus of measuring a swim performance and swim stroke efficiency uses a microcomputer based hand mounted device that can be worn by the swimmer during the swim exercise. The device is secured to a swimmers hand by an adjustable strap and fits roughly within the area defined by the user's fingers. An internal timer and contact switch within the device permit time keeping and stroke counting functions, from which the internal microcomputer derives a plurality of swim performance factors. The device is battery powered and has a "low-battery" indicator to warn the user in advance of total power drain. Swim performance can evaluated via a LCD and a variety of numeric and graphic indicators. The device can be a used by a swimmer to determine swim stroke rate, cycle rate, velocity, distance per stroke and other variables which effect swim performance. The data can be stored in an internal memory means and retrieved later by the user.
