Canada-based fitness technology company Form unveiled its latest augmented reality (AR) Smart Swim 2 Pro goggles, aimed at boosting durability and optical clarity for swimmers and triathletes.

Form’s wearable aims to protect its predecessor’s AR and machine learning features by integrating lightweight, chemically strengthened Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for durability. The company claimed its latest release marks the first commercial use of the strengthened glass in a swim wearable, having drawn inspiration from consumer electronics as brands including Apple and Samsung utilise Gorilla Glass in their devices.

The reinforced lenses protect Form’s patented display, adding sturdiness, scratch resistance and more than UPF 50 sun protection that blocks 98 per cent of UV rays, without compromising visual clarity underwater.

The latest model retains key AR features from the prior Smart Swim 2, including real-time in-goggle heart rate monitoring, guided workouts, virtual coaching and open-water navigation.

In addition to hardware upgrades, Form is rolling out a suite of software enhancements tied to its Premium subscription, including personalised swim training and real-time set tracking directly in the goggles’ display. Meanwhile, HeadCoach Insights, a new feature expected to launch in September, will offer post-swim feedback tailored to stroke efficiency and swim progress.

The Premium subscription, required for full access to the new software features, costs $9.99 per month after a one-month trial and includes access to over 1500 workouts, training plans, and advanced coaching tools.

The Smart Swim 2 Pro is available in the US and Canada priced at $329, with a global rollout expected in August.
