Adam Ramsay-Peaty has almost certainly dreamt about how the 2028 Olympics will unfold.Already a three-time Olympic champion, the British swimming superstar will be eyeing off yet another gold medal for his collection.Ramsay-Peaty’s next Olympics appearance will be boosted by a staggering new piece of techGettyBut the 31-year-old won’t have prepared for a Games quite like he will for Los Angeles.That’s because he, along with Speedo’s wide stable of elite swimmers, which includes four-time Olympic champion Leon Marchand and Aussie backstroke queen Kaylee McKeown, will have access to a groundbreaking new technology that represents the dawn of a new era in the pool.Meet Speedo iQ.What is Speedo iQ?Dubbed the most significant innovation in swimming technology to date, Speedo iQ delivers real-time insights that transforms how swimmers train and race thanks to a smart module embedded into the brand’s leading training goggle, the Vanquisher.From there, data is instantly fed into the Speedo iQ app, including a swimmer’s pace, distance, head position, breathing and turn analysis.Given the margins at the top of swimming are razor-thin, these types of unique insights could be the difference between finishing first or second at the Olympics.The concept for Speedo’s most advanced piece of equipment yet was first put to their swimmers during a review of the 2016 Rio Games.At the time, few, if any, were receptive to the idea.But fast forward a decade and the narrative had completely flipped.“It’s super, super nice to see the level of acceptance and adoption of tech,” Nate Tracy, Speedo’s Vice President of Innovation told talkSPORT.com.The smart module is situated on the side of the left goggleSpeedo“It’s not weird for any of our pros. They’re wearing rings that track everything, they have devices on their wrists when they’re practising.“There’s a comfort level that I don’t think we saw 10 years ago.”Tracy added that the elite swimmers were highly impressed by the accuracy of the data provided via Speedo iQ, giving them real-time analysis and feedback in areas of the sport that previously had never been tracked in such a way.Can athletes use the Speedo iQ goggles in races at the Olympics?A number of Speedo’s athletes were able to give the goggles a test run throughout the Commonwealth Games, albeit only in training sessions.Yet there is a strong chance the goggles could be worn during competition at the Los Angeles Games after they were given the green light from World Aquatics.Tracy confirmed Speedo had brought the sport’s governing body along for the ride throughout the development process, ensuring full transparency. Marchand won gold in the men’s 200m breaststroke, 200m butterfly, 200m medley and 400m medley at the 2024 OlympicsGettyAnd thanks to that openness between Speedo and the swimming’s governing body, Tracy is one step closer to realising his dream.“I think the goal is to get some of these (Speedo iQ goggles) on the podium,” Tracy said.“That would be the best thing ever.“For LA, I think the most exciting part is there’s a strong chance this goggle ends up on the podiums.“With that data, that’s the coolest part for me. You can see what an Olympic gold medal swim looks like. Like, that’s fascinating.”How Speedo iQ’s data could feature on Olympic broadcastsIn an added bonus for fans, Tracy confirmed Speedo are in discussions with broadcasters to leverage the data delivered to Speedo iQ for an enhanced viewing experience.Olympic swimming records could tumble in 2028 thanks to Speedo’s new gogglesGettySo, rather than the athlete and their team being the only ones to see the mechanics behind an Olympic-winning swim, viewers could see all the data in real-time during or immediately following a race.It is something Tracy would ‘love’ to make happen, but he acknowledged there are significant hurdles to clear.“As you know, the tech side is challenging,” Tracy said.“Getting real time data through water is an enormous challenge.“That’s not to say we’re not capable of doing it. It’s just more about that there’s a big ecosystem that needs to be in place.“But we are certainly open to the conversation and have current conversations going with different broadcast bodies to see what we can do.“It would be unbelievable to have the informatics live. It’s an amazing goal to help make the sport really exciting to watch.”Time will tell whether Tracy’s dream of seeing informatics generated by Speedo iQ on an Olympic broadcast will come to fruition.Regardless, his brainchild has changed the sport of swimming forever.
