Strive, setting the pace for test set record keeping

Strive Swimming has an elegant way to record the test set results for swimmers with squads that use their Viking app. The video explains much of what happens and shows it quickly. 

Notice that some of the pace calculations are done in advance of the swim. That is especially helpful when jumping between long-course and short-course. 

Swim Viking RPT was released in recent times, perhaps early 2018? Furthermore the developer sold the software assets to a different, larger and well-respected company in the end of 2018. Time will tell how the evolution of the software unfolds.

Strive Swimming, a software company founded by Bridger Bell, was acquired by a Las Vegas firm, Club Assistant, in the fall of 2018.

Strive software products had a few other marketing partners, including CompetitiveSwimmer.com.

The Strive app runs on a mobile device and helps to turn the test sets of RPT (Race Pace Training) into a game.
