The Sonr underwater communication system is a fully waterproof solution for swimmers and their coaches to help them stay connected to one another when separated by H2O. The system consists of a waterproof speaker that can be worn on the head of the swimmer and will use bone conduction technology in order to receive transmissions from a coach on dry land. A handheld radio transmitter can be used by the coach to give direction to the swimmer as they go to eliminate the need to yell at them from the side of the pool.
The Sonr underwater communication system comes with 16 channels to choose from to let coaches easily assign different channels to each swimmer' receiver to allow for communication with everyone individually.
