Overview
- Speedo has released the iQ system as a removable module that fits into its Vanquisher goggles and is available to order now with a U.S. price of $189 and a U.K. price reported at £149.
- The iQ module uses swim‑specific sensors to detect all four competitive strokes, head position, breath timing, turns, distance per stroke and pace, then syncs that data to a dedicated app after a session.
- Speedo says the module runs up to four hours per charge, can be transferred to new Vanquisher goggles when needed, and does not require a subscription for full functionality.
- The product is cleared for World Aquatics competition use and is positioned as an alternative to HUD goggles like Form or general-purpose smartwatches by focusing on swim‑specific metrics rather than an in‑water display.
- Coaches and serious swimmers gain repeatable, session‑level data for technique work and planning, and the removable design aims to cut long‑term replacement costs by letting users keep the sensor while swapping worn goggles.
