Swimming Lap Tracker vs UV Load™ by Pelotan

Swimming Lap Tracker gives you precise manual control over laps, intervals and structured swim training on Apple Watch, with detailed workout analysis on iPhone. Mark laps with the Digital Crown or the Action Button on Apple Watch Ultra. You decide exactly when each lap or interval is recorded instead of relying on automatic lap detection. Live swim metrics stay visible on your wrist, and completed workouts are saved to Apple Health.

You measure power. Heart rate. Sleep. But you don't measure UV - until now. Sun exposure isn't a health footnote, it's an under-appreciated performance variable. It accelerates fatigue, impairs sweat efficiency, raises core temperature, and disrupts recovery. Where UV Index gives you a single point in time, UV Load™ gives you the cumulative number that actually matters: per-session, and cumulatively - explaining what that exposure is doing to your performance and recovery. Calibrated against ARPANSA risk thresholds. Anchored to peer-reviewed exercise physiology. UV Load™ is a measurement, not a marketing claim. When you measure UV Load, you can adapt for it. Here’s how it works: 1. Connect the UV Load™ app to your Strava account. The app automatically picks up each new outdoor activity, plus any from the last 5 days to help build your baseline. 2. For each session we fuse your route and data including the hour-by-hour UV index, cloud cover and elevation into a single UV Load™ score from 0–100. Think of it as a Whoop strain score but for UV exposure. 3. See per-session impact and weekly cumulative strain with a push notification the moment a new activity is analysed. With this full picture, you can track your performance and recovery - and adjust when/how you train. - Get every activity analysed, for free. - Enjoy your first week of cumulative UV Load for free. - Unlock the full picture for 3 months with any purchase of Pelotan sunscreen, with active Set and Protect subscribers via pelotan.cc receiving ongoing access to the full UV Load™ feature set. UV Load™ is brought to you by Pelotan - the world’s best sports sunscreen - and is not affiliated, endorsed, or associated with Strava, WHOOP, or any other brand.
