Temperature for pools and lakes

How it works

1. We provide a pre-configured sensor for your venue.

2. Submerge the probe and secure the weatherproof enclosure.

3. The sensor transmits readings to the cloud automatically (using its own SIM card - no Wi-Fi required).

4. We integrate local weather data.

5. The data is made available for you and, most importantly, your swimmers. Find out how

6. We provide a simple web dashboard for monitoring your sensor health and managing your alert settings.

7. Your swimmers receive a real-time view of the water temperature. Simple, effective, and rather brilliant.

There is no need for Wi-Fi or a mains power connection.

Making use of the data

API

Whether you want the API to pass on to your own team, or you'd like us to manage the setup on your site, we're happy to help. We'll get the live data live with as little fuss as possible.

About My Water Live

Founder

Peter

Founder & Swimmer

I was recording the temperature at Tooting Bec Lido when someone asked: “Do you log your readings anywhere?” Apart from my Strava activity descriptions, I hadn't been.

It struck me as a brilliant idea, so I began discussing the concept with both swimmers and technical colleagues. The vision quickly grew: real-time readings for pools and lakes, allowing you to check the conditions before even leaving the house. We also saw the value in historical data - retaining information to reference conditions from days or months ago. With sufficient data, we can even use predictive modelling to forecast future temperatures.

I discovered this wasn't being done systematically elsewhere. Some locations had bespoke setups, but many relied on manual updates from on-site staff - an unnecessarily clunky process. I knew it was time to make it simple.
