How this works

1. We dispatch a pre-configured sensor to your location.

2. Submerge the probe in your water and secure the weatherproof enclosure in a suitable position.

3. The sensor transmits readings to the cloud automatically (via the cellular network — no Wi-Fi required).

4. We integrate local weather data to provide a complete overview.

5. The data is published for your community and, most importantly, your swimmers. Find out how

6. You gain access to our web-based dashboard to monitor sensor health, track usage, and configure alerts for immediate peace of mind.

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

There is no need for WiFi or a power connection.

About My Water Live

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: live readings for pools and lakes, allowing you to see exactly what you’re in for before leaving the house. We also saw the value in historical records - retaining data to reference conditions from days or months ago. With sufficient data, we could 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 complicated process. I knew it was time to make it simple.
