Form's smart swim goggles will soon be able to display heart rate data while being used in a pool. Starting in November, the smart swim goggles will be able to work in conjunction with [Polar heart rate sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polar-h10) to display the wearer's heartbeat. The new capabilities will come to the goggles through a software update, that will be compatible with the Polar sensor.

The Polar sensors will attach to googles with a strap that will sit adjacent to the swimmer's temple. From there, the sensor can transmit data to the googles, and it will also sync to the user's Form Swim App.

[Heart rate information](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-listener) can help swimmers manage their workouts. The extra information will also help swimmers pace their stroke rates and keep track of split times.
