| Using an underwater video camera to capture a swimmers
stroke for later analysis between the coach and swimmer is becoming
very popular. By showing a swimmer exactly what needs to be changed
with their stroke mechanics will vastly speed up the improvement of
a dedicated athlete. The typical set up utilizes one of our Delta Vision color cameras along with a telescoping handle. The coach then walks along lane one filming the swimmers stroke from the front back or side. |
Excerpt from Swimming Technique Article: "Word of the new product got out, and it quickly was adopted by several local swim teams for underwater videotaping. One coach who uses the Splash-Cam is Mike Bemis of the Thunderbird Aquatic Center in Anacortes, Wash. He says the SplashCam, which runs on 12 volts DC, has "helped my team see what they look like" underwater. "The system is easyto-operate, very portable and shows all six lanes in our pool at once. The pictures are great, clear and very enlightening..." Like the other video systems discussed here, it delivers a video signal to any TV monitor, camcorder or VCR. Bemis also addresses a practical concern for any age group coach: "The camera is rugged enough to withstand most 12-year-old boys, yet easy enough that they can also operate the equipment." |
