## Description

FORM Swim is the ultimate companion for the FORM Smart Swim Goggles, delivering a revolutionary underwater coaching experience. Its HEADCOACH™ feature provides in-goggle visual guidance focusing on head pitch, head roll, and pacing to help perfect your swim technique. The app centralizes all swim training by offering structured plans, individual guided workouts, and seamless integration with TrainingPeaks and custom workouts.

At the pool or open water, the goggles display length-by-length instructions, eliminating the need for paper or memorization. Post-swim, users can analyze detailed metrics, track progress over time, and share data with coaches. Compatible with Apple Watch and Garmin smartwatches for GPS-based metrics, FORM Swim suits pools, open water, and swim spas alike. Additionally, it syncs automatically with platforms like Strava, TrainingPeaks, Apple Health, and more—ideal for triathlon training and serious swimmers seeking improved performance.
