iSwimband is an amazing and innovative personal aquatic safety device my children and I had the pleasure of putting to the test. Swimming can be such a dangerous and scary environment and iSwimband makes this fun sport safer by the truckload. This is award winning, portable drowning protection. Here are the facts:
Drowning is the 2nd leading cause of accidental death among children. Super frightening is that in 90% of these cases adult supervision is present. iSwimband is a is a water safe sensor that alerts your smartphone if someone has been submerged too long of if someone deemed a "non swimmer" enters the water.
The headband is really comfortable (it passed the picky 6 year old test in my house) and is totally compatible with goggles, swimcaps and ear plugs. The range runs about 100 feet; its truly remarkable technology. Set up could not be easier. First, install the iSwimband app on your device and be sure to check notification settings in iOS (choose iSwimband). All settings should be on. Connect your iSwimband by tapping it on a surface roughly 4-5 times (red blinking light will shine). After connecting the serial number to your app you will then configure for swimmer verses non swimmer. One super cool feature was that you could set up the length of time that should elapse before a warning and the status bar on your device will list all swimmers / non swimmers you configure. Insert the sensor in the headband for a swimmer and the wristband for a non swimmer. Adjust for fit and comfort and off you go!
