Whether you’re in the pool, at the park or on the basketball court, these gadgets and apps will help you play safely, have fun, improve your game, and stay connected.
When it’s hot, the swimming pool or public beach is the first place people head. As temperatures increase, water can be your best friend. But it can also be dangerous. The iSwimband helps create a safer swimming environment. This portable personal drowning detection system can be used to notify parents and caregivers when a child or disabled adult has been submerged beyond preset limits, or if a non-swimmer enters the water. Using Bluetooth technology and a companion app, an alert will sound on your smartphone or tablet when anyone wearing the device meets the above criteria. The app monitors up to eight iSwimbands per device. For $59.99, purchasers will receive a iSwimband headband/goggle strap, one iSwimband wrist band, and one iSwimband sensor with clip. The app can be downloaded for free through the Apple App Store, Google Play marketplace or Amazon Apps for Kindle users; https://www.iswimband.com/Products/.
