SOPHIE ETHERIDGE
Technology is constantly evolving, improving, but also becoming more complicated. I am always someone that makes the most out of technology, however, I would prefer things that are simple to use. This goes for not only in the water and when coaching but also in my dayto-day life as a someone with a disability too.
When swimming, the only technology I use is a Garmin Swim2 watch, this is for several reasons: 1. I try not to become too fixated on the numbers 2. Technology isn’t always accurate 3. I like to keep things simple 4. I don’t get distracted 5. I can’t use technology when doing some open water events and never do something different on race day in comparison to a training session.
