1 in 3 adults across Scotland, England and Wales cannot swim. As a lifeguard and swim teacher, I find this extremely disheartening. Swimming offers countless physical and mental health benefits that everyone should have the ability and confidence to take advantage of. The HammerHead swimAID is a tool designed to empower non-swimmers to take their first ‘kicks’ in the water and provide the user with support, stability and feedback throughout every stage of their swimming journey.

 The HammerHead swimAID is a tech-enhanced floatation aid tailored to adult learners. It promotes correct and natural body position in the water, offers real-time feedback, and empowers the user to make confident and quick progression - from beginners to advanced swimmers. Features such as the HammerHead swimAID’s progress tracking, body position correction and integrated app capabilities create a supportive and engaging learning experience sure to bring the joy of swimming to even the most apprehensive learners. With different modules and continued utility beyond the basics, it’s built to grow with every swimmer and can be utilised by those at any level.
