Speedo iQ: A Smart Goggle That Tracks Technique
Speedo iQ
is a smart goggle from Speedo built around a removable tracking module that
sits in the Vanquisher 3.0 Track goggle frame. The module records each swim
passively, with no screen, and results are reviewed afterward in the Speedo iQ
app. It is made for swimmers and coaches, works in the pool and in open water,
and is World Aquatics approved for training and competition.
How the Smart Goggle Works
The phone
does not need to be with the swimmer, and data syncs to the app after the swim.
The module tracks laps, distance and pace across all four competitive strokes.
Speedo notes that a watch measures the wrist, while iQ measures the head, which
allows breathing, head position and turn measurements. The app, available for
iPhone and Android without a subscription, offers session review and
length-by-length replay with expert tips and drills.
Technique Metrics
Head
position is recorded across the whole swim. Breath angle shows how far the head
rotates to breathe, and breath time shows how long the head takes to reach that
breathing angle. The module also records turn speed, turn carry angle, also
called push-off angle, and distance per stroke, technique details that a stopwatch
cannot capture.
Module, Lenses and Fit
The
removable module runs up to 4 hours per charge. The goggle uses Ocular
360-degree lenses, with mirrored lenses recommended for bright or outdoor pools
and smoke or clear lenses for indoor use. The module fits only Speedo iQ
Vanquisher 3.0 Track frames, not standard Vanquisher 3.0 goggles, and Track
frames are not sold separately. The box contains the goggle, the Speedo iQ
module, a charger and a carry case.
