Fibre2Fashion - okay!

One of the interesting aspects about the changing shape of media and communications is the way that information is shared and distributed and the surprising ways in which different people can be interested in similar topics.

Our recent announcement regarding our partnership with Speedo to take our Splashpath app global has been covered by lots of different news sources - we've mainly focused on the tech press because that's really who we wanted to reach.

But we've also had coverage in fashion specialist news service Fibre2Fashion - which is great!

Big announcement!

Big news today - we are stoked to announce our partnership with Speedo who are taking our Splashpath app to the world!

Splashpath is an app that is enables swimmers to track their swims and well as providing pool operators with a timetabling platform.

Launched in the UK a couple of years ago, the Splashpath community of swimmers has quickly grown and are logging some fantastic swims - the combined efforts of our Splashpath users means that they are swimming the equivalent of Dover-to-Calais and back again, 7 times each day.

The partnership with Speedo is going to help us expand the reach of Splashpath to swimmers around the world - starting with China!

It's all part of the swimwear company's Get Speedo Fit initiative.

Exciting times!

Tech Fitness - SwiMP3 from Finis

Music when you're swimming really works for some people, for others it's a bit of a distraction and gets in the way of the stroke, the technique, and the random thoughts that often pop into your head when swimming.

If you fancy a bit of top-of-the range action, you may be interested in the SwiMP3 - a waterproof MP3 player that delivers you underwater sound without ear buds - using 'bone conduction' transmission.

Sounds painful.

They retail for USD$160.

Tech Fitness - Zombies, Run!

Here at Active in Time we love apps of all sorts - it's exciting to see the different applications that creative people can imagine and then build.

One of our favourites recently was reported by TechCrunch - it's called Zombies, Run!

Essentially it's an app to help motivate you to go jogging, but we love the geeky gaming sensibility behind this app - you're running, you're being chased by zombies, the faster you run the easier it is to escape the zombies.  Genius!

We're more into our swimming here at Active in Time, but if anything is going to get us running then it is definitely zombies!
