Heart Rate & Sensors
Heart rate monitor support for Vimo Swim is in development. Bluetooth straps first, ANT+ after that.
Heart rate support is in development. Bluetooth (BLE) heart rate straps come first, ANT+ sensors (Garmin heart rate, cadence and speed) after that. The radio hardware is ready for both, so it arrives with a firmware update.
Heart Rate over Bluetooth (Coming Soon)
Standard Bluetooth (BLE) heart rate straps, such as the Polar H10, will connect directly to the device from the Connect menu. We are testing it with swimmers now.
Use Cases
- Keep an eye on your heart rate during sets
- Track cardiovascular load across a session
- Pair effort with tempo for smarter pacing
ANT+ / Garmin Sensors (Coming Soon)
ANT+ support is in active development. The nRF52 radio inside Vimo Swim supports ANT+ natively, and firmware groundwork for Garmin heart rate, cadence, and speed sensors is already in place. It will be enabled in a future firmware update.
Garmin ANT+ HR straps for real-time heart rate display.
Cadence data for pace synchronization and rhythm optimization.
Speed data for comprehensive performance analysis.
Planned Enhancements
Automatic tempo adjustment based on real-time heart rate data.
Combine data from multiple sensors for comprehensive analysis.
Alerts when your heart rate leaves a target zone.
