Registered trademark & patent

Touch. Time.
Improve.

The first patented poolside system that counts laps, times and splits in real time. Tap, swim, return. No more miscounts, no more turning your wrist to read a smartwatch.

The problem

How many laps before you lose count?

Every swimmer knows this frustration. Tools made for running or the gym, never for the actual pool.

You lose count of laps

By lap 23 you don't know if it's 22 or 24. Your focus belongs on the stroke, not on counting.

A smartwatch isn't enough

Turning your wrist breaks your stroke. Underwater the display is barely readable. Data arrives after, not during.

Training loses meaning

Without precise data on splits, times and strokes, you can't improve. You're stuck trusting your memory.

The solution

VASKÓ POOL — the smart whiteboard of your lane.

A waterproof device, mounted on the pool edge with suction cups or brackets, that counts laps, times and splits in real time. You tap it on every turn: zero distractions, zero errors.

  • 1

    High-contrast LCD display

    Readable underwater and even under direct sunlight.

  • 2

    Oversized STOP / START buttons

    Designed to be pressed with a wet hand, without looking.

  • 3

    Dual-end connectivity

    Two communicating devices for maximum turn precision.

  • 4

    Wireless sync with the app

    iOS and Android: history, charts, export.

How it works

Three gestures. Zero thinking.

Designed to disappear while you swim. Set it once, then focus only on your stroke.

1

Mount VASKÓ to the edge

High-grip suction cups or permanent bracket. Ready in 30 seconds, in any pool.

2

Tap START and swim

Press the button at the start and on every turn. The display shows laps and times in real time.

3

Sync with the app

When done, the app receives the entire session wirelessly: splits, strokes, statistics, history.

Features

Everything your smartwatch can't do.

VASKÓ was born in the pool, built by swimmers, to solve real problems.

Lap counting with true precision.

The STOP button at the end of each lap turns counting into hard data, not a guess from an inertial sensor.

  • 100% accuracy on completed laps
  • Clear distinction between split and total
  • Readable on the display from the opposite end
Lap counting

Times, splits, stroke changes.

Three buttons to manage a structured session: master stopwatch, per-distance splits, mid-set stroke change.

  • Continuous stopwatch + split for every lap
  • History per stroke: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle
  • Underwater audio cues for session change
Times and splits

"Finally a tool built for swimmers."

The first VASKÓ POOL testers — masters and competitive swimmers — share their first impression after weeks of use.

In 4 weeks of testing I shaved 6 seconds off my 1500m freestyle. I can finally see splits without turning my wrist.
