The EVAstream is a sophisticated swimming machine designed to provide pre-programmed workout experiences, enhance fitness, and improve swimming technique. It integrates advanced DMX controller technology with synchronized underwater LED lighting to create an immersive and motivating training environment.

Function Description:

The EVAstream offers a range of pre-programmed swim training programs tailored for various fitness levels and goals. These programs include:

• 90-second Swim Test programs: Used to determine an individual's current speed level, allowing for personalized workout intensity.
• Basic Training Program: Consists of 10 workouts (15-45 minutes) featuring alternating interval, sprint, and endurance exercises. This program is designed to build fitness, muscle power, and improve speed and endurance responsibly.
• Sprint Program: Includes 5 sprint workouts (10-15 minutes) specifically aimed at improving swimming speed.
• Endurance Program: Features 5 endurance workouts (30-60 minutes) focused on enhancing stamina and overall endurance.
• Infinity Swim: Allows users to swim continuously at a self-selected intensity, providing an endless swimming experience.

The device's core functionality revolves around generating a stable and strong current, simulating swimming in a 25-meter pool. The DMX controller allows users to select workouts, adjust intensity levels (speed percentage), and modify workout durations.

A unique feature of the EVAstream is its integrated EVA Optic LED underwater lighting. This lighting system is synchronized with the exercises, providing visual cues for orientation and motivation. The RGBW-colored lights indicate different phases of a workout:

• White light: Signals a rest break and the EVAstream being switched off.
• Flashing lights: Indicate the end of a break, with the number of flashes signifying the remaining repetitions of an exercise.
• Red light: Marks the beginning of an exercise repetition (first 1/3 duration).
• Green light: Indicates the middle phase of an exercise repetition (second 1/3 duration).
• Blue light: Signals the final phase of an exercise repetition (last 1/3 duration), encouraging a final push.

The workouts are structured with a warm-up, one to three core exercises, and a cool-down. Core exercises involve sets of repetitions designed to build fitness, practice technique, or improve speed. Different types of core exercises include:

• Steady: Repetitions performed at a fixed speed.
• Up/Down: Repetitions where speed varies from low to high and back to low within the core exercise.
• Progressive: Speed increases after each repetition or every two repetitions within the core exercise.
• Curved Repetition: Pace varies within each repetition, starting low, increasing to a peak, and then decreasing.
• Inclined Repetition: Pace continuously increases within each repetition from a lower to a higher intensity zone.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific power output or flow rates are not detailed, the manual emphasizes that the EVAstream contains a "powerful motor with a rotating screw," indicating a robust current generation capability. The DMX controller is an "advanced" unit, suggesting precise control over the machine's functions and lighting. The system uses "RGBW-coloured lights," implying a full spectrum of color options for the underwater lighting.

Usage Features:

• Personalized Training: Users begin with a Swim Test to determine their optimal speed level, ensuring workouts are tailored to their capabilities.
• Intuitive DMX Controller: The controller features "On/Off," "Training Overview," "Intensity/Up," "Duration/Down," and "Confirm" buttons for easy navigation and selection of programs and settings.
• Workout Customization: Users can adjust the intensity (speed percentage) and duration of workouts, allowing for flexibility and progression. Shortening a workout's duration is achieved by setting a "Duration" percentage above 100%, while extending it is done by setting a percentage below 100%.
• Motivational Lighting: The synchronized underwater lights provide real-time feedback on workout progress and repetition count, enhancing engagement.
• Structured Programs: Detailed schedules for Basic, Sprint, and Endurance programs guide users through progressive training.
• Rest and Recovery: The programs incorporate recommended rest days between workouts and a 60-second break at the start of each workout for preparation.
• Variety and Challenge: Users are encouraged to vary swim strokes, perform technique exercises, and use training equipment (kickboards, pullbuoys, hand paddles, fins, snorkels) to maximize training benefits.

Maintenance Features:

• Swim Cap Requirement: Wearing a swim cap is mandatory for every EVAstream user. This not only enhances safety by preventing hair entanglement but also "prevents early filter clogging," indicating a design consideration for filter longevity and performance.
• Safety Instructions: The manual stresses the importance of carefully following included instructions for safe operation to prevent serious injury or property damage. This implies regular checks and adherence to operational guidelines are crucial for maintenance and safety.
