"In 2025, though, your goggles might be able to improve your form - very literally. This week, Form - a company that specializes in smart googles for swimmers - announced the release of HeadCoach 2.0. That name is a little on the nose; HeadCoach 2.0 is, in fact, a (virtual) coach that lives on your head. In tandem with the company's app, HeadCoach 2.0 analyzes a swimmer's form after they have completed a session in the pool and offers pointers on potential areas of improvement."
"In a statement, Brian Johns, Form's Head of Coaching Science - and a former competitive swimmer who represented Canada in three Summer Olympics - addressed the challenges of creating a virtual coach. "A coach would literally need to film you, analyze that footage, and break down your stroke to provide this level of personalized feedback," Johns said. "With HeadCoach 2.0, we're making that experience available instantly, powered by years of research, swimming expertise, and our revolutionary smart technology.""
A well-fitting pair of goggles protects swimmers' eyes and technological advances have added functional enhancements. Historically corrective lenses were the most significant improvement. In 2025, Form released HeadCoach 2.0, a virtual coach integrated into its smart goggles that analyzes stroke form after pool sessions and offers pointers for improvement through the company's app. Brian Johns, Form's Head of Coaching Science and former Olympic swimmer, explained that a human coach would film and analyze stroke footage, while HeadCoach 2.0 delivers that feedback instantly using research and smart technology. HeadCoach 2.0 is available to Form Premium subscribers and follows the original HeadCoach debut in 2023; recent reviews praised the goggles' engineering and app connectivity.
