SwimCoach for the Palm Computing platform is a combination dual stopwatch and calculator, designed for use by swim coaches in measuring the performance of their swimmers. Stroke rate (cycling rate), stroke length (distance per stroke), and lap times (speed) are all of keen interest to swim coaches.
Here's a summary of the features:
Two independent timers - one for timing each lap of a swim, and the second for timing a fixed number of strokes which will be used to determine stroke rate and distance.
Configurable for any pool - the lap distance can be specified in yards or meters, and any length (e.g., 25 yards, 50 meters) can be set. The numbers of stroke cycles which you will use to measure the stroke parameters is also configurable.
Timers can be started and stopped with the scroll buttons on the Palm, not just using on-screen buttons, which makes it easy to operate the stopwatch functionality while keeping your eyes on the swimmer rather than on the screen of the Palm, thus facilitating accurate timing.
Automatic calculations for:
Lap time
Swimming speed, in a variety of units - minutes per 100 yards or meters, miles or kilometers per hour, or minutes per mile or kilometer
Stroke rate (SR), in cycles per minute or cycles per second
Stroke length (SL), in yards or meters
Calculations are always shown on the main screen for the most recently completed set of times, as well as the one previous to that, so that changes (as the swimmer is tiring) can be seen.
Automatic saving and review capability for all recorded splits. Pressing the Review button takes you to a screen which displays the time, speed (V) or cumulative time (TT), SR, and SL for all laps, as shown here:
Transfer of recorded times to the MemoPad for HotSyncing to the desktop.
Printing of recorded times to a directly connected printer (requires PalmPrint software)
Transfer of recorded times to computers not running HotSync software (requires PalmPrint software)
Note - a PalmPilot is not waterproof. If you operate your PalmPilot poolside, you should take care that it does not get wet. It is possible to enclose the unit in a clear plastic bag, and still operate all the onscreen functions as well as easily read the screen.
