Swim Stroke Analysis

Triathlon Swim Stroke Analysis

Tru Tri Sports is different from other swimming facilities because we have the use of the Endless Pool and Dartfish Video Analysis software. These pools create the optimal environment for Swim Stroke Analysis. Their small size ensures a private, distraction free environment, and the water is always kept between 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit, to maintain maximum comfort for our. The “treadmill affect” also means that your coach will be able to move freely around you as you swim, capturing video of your stroke from every angle above and below the water.

One of the problems with traditional Swim Lessons & Coaching is that there is really no good way to show students how they swim. Coaches have always had to try to “show and tell” their students verbally what happened as they attempted different techniques. This is not always the best way to see real results.

Tru Tri Sports has found a solution to this problem. The Endless pool comes equipped with at least two full length mirrors installed along the bottom of the pool, and has 3 separate water proof cameras attached to a computer with movement analysis software and large video monitors. This allows us to show our athletes exactly what they are doing as they swim, and how they can improve.

The mirrors in our pools are mounted directly in front of and beneath the main swimming area of the pool. This allows our athletes to watch what they are doing, as they are doing it, and gives them the ability to make instantaneous corrections to their stroke, as they are swimming.

Dartfish Video Analysis is the other half of our Visual feedback System. Our system uses a total of 3 cameras, one mounted over the swimming area, one mounted in front of the swimming area, & a mobile camera. This allows us to capture multiple views of each swimmer in action, both above and below the water. We display video taken from each of these cameras on High Definition Television sets strategically placed in our swim area.

By providing constant visual feedback to our clients, we are able to accelerate and improve our clients learning process, as they are better able to understand exactly how to perform and correct their swimming technique.
