Today MyFitnessPal is excited to announce a new partnership with FINIS, the maker of revolutionary swimming equipment. Their Swimsense Performance Monitor is worn like a watch as you practice and records your calories burned, lap total, distance swum, splits, distance-per-stroke, and stroke rates. It’s like having an assistant coach on hand to track your progress!

To get started you simply press the iiM (Interval Interference Mode) button at the beginning of practice and then forget it – the Swimsense will do the rest. It automatically records intervals and which of the four strokes you are using. Your stats are available instantly and, with the MyFitnessPal integration, will upload directly to your Exercise Diary. You can now easily track all your calories burned and the durations of your workouts in one place – whether on land or in the water.

Another great feature of the Swimsense watch is how customizable it is. You set the pool size, meters, your gender and weight to increase the accuracy of the results. Getting accurate readings on pool exercises has always been tough, but with FINIS Swimsense, capturing and recording this information just got easier.

The Swimsense Performance Monitor sells for $169.99. Even better MyFitnessPal members get $20 off through 11/30/2012! Grab this deal here!
