FINIS, the leading global specialist in technical swimming development is partnering with RunKeeper, a popular online fitness platform for measuring and improving fitness, and SportsTracks, a GPS-integrated workout logging software for Windows PCs. FINIS Swimsense users can now send their swimming data to RunKeeper or SportsTracks for easy online progress monitoring and comparing with other swimmers and fitness enthusiasts.
The FINIS Swimsense Performance Monitor, powered by Sportsense, tracks stroke types, records the number of laps swum, total distance, stroke rate, SWOLF score, calories burned, lap time, pace, stroke count, distance per stroke and allows users to monitor their workouts over time via the included software.
“We worked with Sportsense Technologies Inc, RunKeeper and SportTracks to create this integration because we know that many swimmers engage in a wide range of fitness activities,” said John Mix, President of FINIS. “We believe that being able to see a holistic view of your workout can help individuals track progress and improve performance.”
“RunKeeper makes tracking your workouts fun, social and easy to understand so that you can improve the quality of your fitness,” noted Michael Sheeley, Co-founder of FitnessKeeper. “We are proud to partner with FINIS and we hope to capture the interest of swim enthusiasts with our program.”
“SportTracks 3 with more than 40 new features makes tracking your fitness goals and creating workouts easy,” added Aaron Averill, President of SportTracks. “We are thrilled to work with FINIS in helping swimmers track their progress and plan their workouts.”
