FORM (formswim.com) is a direct-to-consumer sports technology company behind the world’s first augmented reality swim goggles. Our mission is to break down the barriers between what swimming is and what it could be. We’re looking for a Videographer to join our growing team.
A Little Bit About Us
Founded in 2016 in Vancouver, Canada, our FORM Smart Swim Goggles launched in August 2019. For the first time, using our technology, swimmers can see in real-time visual feedback, with metrics like split times, distance, stroke rate, pace per 100, and calories displayed directly in the swimmer’s line of sight in pools, open water and swim spas. Through a connected partnership experience with Polar swimmers also now have the unprecedented ability to view their heart rate in real-time throughout their swim, enabling a level of training effectiveness and precision never experienced before.
Just over a one year old, our goggles have been awarded the RedDot Product Design Award “Smart Device”, iF Product Design Award, German Innovation Award and an ISPO Brand New Award. We have an amazing team of people who are fun to work with and serious about what they do. Press, pro-athletes, and influencers love what we’re doing and are proud to use our goggles.
