Why Pro Triathlete Julie Iemmolo Has Trusted FORM for 5 Years

For professional triathlete Julie Iemmolo, effective swim training comes down to staying connected to pacing, performance, and consistency, especially during long solo pool sessions.

What makes Julie’s story unique is that her relationship with FORM began long before any partnership. She discovered our goggles, immediately recognized the value of real-time swim feedback, and decided to purchase them herself.

Since then, FORM has become a constant part of her training routine as she prepares for some of triathlon’s biggest races.

“It gave me instant feedback during my sessions.”

French pro triathlete Julie, who came 5th out of the swim at the Ironman World Championships last October, discovered FORM and immediately saw how it could improve her swim training.

Swimming frequently on her own, Julie wanted a better way to monitor pacing and performance without relying on pace clocks or wearing a watch.

“I discovered FORM toward the beginning, when the company first launched,” Julie says. “I immediately loved the concept because I often swim alone in public pools, and it gives me amazing instant feedback during my sessions.”

Now, after 5 years of using FORM, the goggles remain a staple in her swim bag.
One of the features Julie values most is the ability to stay focused throughout workouts without worrying about counting laps during her sets or constantly checking the pace clock.

“It’s so easy to lose count when your mind starts wandering,” she explains. “I also love having my times directly in the goggles, especially since some pools don’t have a clock and I really don’t enjoy swimming with a watch.”

For Julie, having key metrics displayed directly in her goggles creates a more seamless, focused swimming experience.

She also appreciates how FORM syncs easily with her training platforms, keeping all her performance data connected in one place.

Julie’s preferred display setup:

Chasing World Championship Goals

This season, Julie is targeting two of triathlon’s most prestigious races:

And she has a clear swim goal driving her training:

“My goal is to swim under 1:20/100m, and FORM is definitely a key tool to help me get there.”

For Julie, FORM delivers more than swim metrics - it provides the instant feedback and focus she needs to train smarter every day in search of the podium.
