About

TritonWear develops an AI coaching platform for competitive swimmers that tracks every meter and diagnoses every stroke using wearable sensors, capturing 30-plus metrics per lap including stroke rate, distance per stroke, underwater speed, push-off force, heart rate, and pace. The AI Coach processes metrics in real-time to generate a complete athlete profile organized across three pillars: Effort covering heart rate zones, energy systems, and lactate thresholds; Skills covering stroke technique, underwater speed, and transitions; and Recovery covering training load, ACWR, and readiness status. The platform provides automated diagnostics that benchmark athletes against peers matching their speed, gender, and height, delivering personalized improvement targets and actionable training recommendations such as specific drill prescriptions. TritonWear has analyzed over 3 billion meters of performance data, powered 187 Olympians, and delivers 43% more podium finishes for TritonWear-powered athletes. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Kitchener, Canada, the company has raised approximately $2M in seed funding. TritonWear differentiates itself as the world's most advanced swim performance platform, trusted by Swimming Australia, University of Virginia, U.S. Naval Academy, and Vanderbilt, with World Aquatics race-legal certification at $31 per athlete monthly.
