OUR STORY

Technology That Understands Athletes

Why should athletes with disabilities train with less technology than everyone else? We asked that question and built a company to answer it.

OUR VALUES

Know. Tech. Logic.

Three principles that guide everything we build

KNOW – Listen First

We don't assume we know what athletes need. We ask, we observe, we co-create. Every feature in SwimNavi came from real athlete feedback.

50+ athlete co-developers
  • User research
  • Continuous feedback
  • Community-driven roadmap

TECH – Build Right

German engineering isn't just a label – it's a commitment to quality. We over-engineer reliability because athletes depend on us.

  • Waterproof excellence
  • Military-grade sensors
  • Obsessive testing

LOGIC – Solve Real Problems

Every feature must earn its place. We don't add complexity for its own sake. If it doesn't help athletes swim better, it doesn't ship.

Zero unnecessary features
  • Problem-first design
  • Ruthless prioritization
  • Measurable impact
