Coxswain

Coxswain is an innovative application designed to enhance your rowing experience by providing seamless integration with your Waterrower equipment. This app turns your Android device into a sophisticated workout companion, allowing you to select a preferred training program and track your performance with precision.

One of the standout features of this product is the ability to multitask during workouts. You can enjoy YouTube videos or other media while you row, making your session both entertaining and productive. Add an extra layer of challenge by competing against your past performances, pushing your limits and breaking personal records.

With the customizable workout display, users enjoy a plethora of options; a long press gives access to a variety of data points such as distance, duration, strokes, energy, speed, and more. To further analyze and store workout data, it allows exporting sessions to TCX format, making it compatible with popular fitness tracking apps and services. Syncing workouts with your calendar or even Google Fit is also possible, although this feature is still under development.

The application supports heart rate monitoring from your Waterrower, an Android sensor, or any connected Bluetooth LE/Ant+ device, providing a comprehensive view of your fitness levels during exercise.

Connectivity with your Waterrower S4 is versatile, accommodating both USB-OTG adapters and Bluetooth (with the appropriate Waterrower S4 Bluetooth Comm Module—note that "S4 comms 36" revisions are not supported).

Developers are dedicated to improving the functionality, welcoming user feedback to resolve issues and implement new ideas. This focus on development suggests that it will continue to evolve and better serve the rowing community.

In summary, Coxswain positions itself as an essential tool for rowers who aim to track and improve their performance, offering a host of features that provide real-time data, entertainment, and an interactive competitive edge. Whether you're a casual rower or a serious athlete, it promises to make your workouts more effective and enjoyable.
