FINIS will assume all product development and support responsibilities for the Swimsense performance monitor.

Thanks to everyone who supported us and gave us invaluable advice and feedback as we started this venture and built the Swimsense.

• Workout Date Fix:  the watch was creating workouts one day ahead.
• Lock-ups:  some users were experiencing lock-ups while swimming.
• Workout Pace:  the overall pace for the workout was not displayed.

If you are already a beta user, you will be prompted to upgrade once you log into the Swimsense® Bridge.  If you would like to become a beta tester, you can do so by selecting “Participate in Beta Updates” under the “Firmware Updates” menu.

In all seriousness, we apologize for the issue and we’re working on the fix.  We will include the fix in an upcoming beta release which is scheduled to be available for download in the next few days.

In the meantime, we’ve added the ability to change the date of your workout after the workout has been uploaded to swimsense.com.  Here are the steps:

1. Upload the workout(s) to swimsense.com
2. Login and navigate to the Calendar.  You can get there from the dashboard by clicking on the calendar icon or by selecting the “Calendar View” under the “Workouts” menu.
3. Find your workout and then click and drag the workout to the desired date.  This will automatically update the workout date.

Let us know if you have any issues moving your workout to the correct date.  In the meantime, we’ll be working hard to get the date bug resolved.

1. Make sure your Swimsense device is connected.
2. If the device is not automatically recognized, you should try to manually connect to the device.  Select the “Manual Connect” option under the File menu.  Then locate the “SWIMSENSE” device and select it.  If you can’t find it, then the Swimsense is not properly connected to your computer.
3. After selecting the Swimsense Device, select “Console” under the File menu.  This will open up the Console window.
4. Once open, click the “Copy to Clipboard” button.   This will copy the contents of the console to your computer’s clipboard.
5. Paste the console data into an email and send it to support@sportsenseco.com

Anytime you send an email to support@sportsenseco.com, please also include your username.

In addition to the new screen customization feature, there were several other minor enhancements and bug fixes including:

• the workout count pie chart now updates after clearing workouts from the bridge
• sporadic errors after clearing the workouts were fixed
• user’s can now hit enter directly within the username or password field to force authentication
• …and several other minor fixes.

John Mix, president of FINIS, stated, “We worked with Sportsense Technologies and RunKeeper to create this integration because we know that many swimmers engage in a wide range of activities and being able to see a holistic view can help individuals to track progress and improve performance.”

To export your Swimsense data to RunKeeper, please follow the below steps:

1. Sign up for a Swimsense account and a RunKeeper account
2. In your Swimsense account, navigate to “Update Account” under the “My Account” menu option.
3. Click on the “Training Logs” tab and then Link your Swimsense Account to your RunKeeper account.
4. If you would like to have your Swimsense workouts automatically exported to RunKeeper each time you upload a workout, click on the “Manual” button to change it to “Automatic”.

Please also note that you must have the Swimsense Bridge installed to upload workouts from your Swimsense Performance Monitor to the Swimsense Training Log. Once you have a Swimsense account, you can download the Swimsense Bridge form here.

In the meantime, if you are running on v1.0.1.6 or a previous version, we recommend you do not upgrade until v1.0.1.8 is available. If you have any questions or need support, please contact us at support.finisinc.com.

• Ability to manually select your Swimsense device if auto-detection did not work
• Filtering out of zero-length workouts
• Option to configure your Swimsense watch directly from the bridge
• An improved process for upgrading your Swimsense Firmware to reduce the accidental deleting of your workouts
• Improved error handling and other minor bug fixes and enhancements

You may also notice that we removed the ability to post your workouts from the bridge to Facebook. This capability (and the ability to export your workouts to Twitter) has been moved to the Swimsense Trainig Log under “My Account – Update Account”.

As always, please email contact support.finisinc.com if you have any issues.

Step 1: Login to your Swimsense account and navigate to the “Account Update” screen. You will notice a new tab named, “Social Networks”.

Step 2: Click on the “Link” button next to the Facebook logo. This will open a new window. Please note that if you have a pop-up blocker, you will likely need to give swimsense.com permission to open this window. Once opened, you will see a window like the one below asking you to grant Swimsense permission to link to your Facebook account. Click “Allow” to create the link. At this point, you should get a confirmation that the link has been successfully established.

Facebook Authorization

Step 3: Navigate to the workout details screen of a workout that you uploaded. If you want to share the details of the work, click on the “Public” switch to toggle the workout from “Off” to “On”.

Step 4: Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the Facebook icon. This will open a window like the one below. Notice that since the workout is now public, a (shortened) URL to the workout has been automatically added to the Facebook post. You can also edit your update before posting.

Facebook Post

Step 5: Click on the “Post To Wall” button and you’ve now shared your workout with all your Facebook friends.

Looking ahead, we have an update planned for the Swimsense Bridge that we expect to release mid-next week. We are also scheduled to release an update to the Swimsense watch firmware this Friday.
