Using Swimtag at Places Leisure
See your swim
Track your swims for free with SWIMTAG
SWIMTAG is wearable technology that helps you to ‘swim smarter’ by measuring your progress, lengths and timings in the pool. It's free for all members, including Places members (our free membership category). *
It's very simple to use. To get started, simply pick up a SWIMTAG at reception on your next swim, then register at the link below afterwards to see your results online or via the SWIMTAG app.
Keep up to date
SWIMTAG keeps you up to date with your progress and achievements; it will notify you of your new personal best as well as competitions and challenges.
Rule the pool
Rule the Pool is a weekly competition for you to compare your swim against past swims and measure your progression over time against yourself and others. You will be able to upload a 400m swim (using any stroke) every week during any public session. Your 400m time will be added to an interactive league table which is published every Sunday night.
Challenges
Challenge yourself and others to take on an epic swim. Select a start and finish date for your challenge and SWIMTAG will update your progress as you move along the map. Invite your swim mates to join you and you could find yourself racing across the Channel or around the Isle of Wight!
