Video Analysis for Swimming - Anyone Anywhere Anytime RECORD | COMPARE | IMPROVE your Swimming technique Technique is the key to swimming success and enjoyment. Swim Coach Plus HD is a new generation performance development tool - a powerful video coaching app enabling swim coaches to provide beginner to elite swimmers and triathletes with immediate visual feedback during training sessions and competition. No requirement for expensive cloud services and all your videos are available to export to anywhere you want. RECORD - Coaches, assistants, teachers or parents can record HD video and then provide swimmers with technique analysis by replaying their stroke, starts, turns and drills in real time, slow motion and frame by frame. Calculate stroke rate, stroke length and water speed from the video recording. Coaches feedback can be recorded onto a new video or built as a PDF coaches report with key images and annotations. COMPARE - Performance improves when we are able to observe and compare. Swimmers observe the finer points of their technique then compare with the technique demonstrated in other video clips using the side by side and overlay video display features. IMPROVE - Being able to observe a technical issue which becomes clear once a swimmer's own clip is played alongside a reference clip or being able to observe the 'before and after' clips for a swimmer who is applying a change their coach has recommended provides the evidence and motivation needed for sustainable change and improvement. Create new super slow motion videos of single, dual or overlay clips with voice over and drawing annotations included. Extensive FAQs included in the app explain the app's recording and video display options. The app's integrated file sharing capability means that large numbers of video clips can be managed by shifting them to and from a computer and the recording device.

College Fit projects their times forward to age 18 across three scenarios — conservative, expected, and aggressive — then ranks NCAA programs by how well they actually match.

Browse the full ranked best-fits list, or search a specific school. Drill in for event-by-event detail: where they'd place at conference, where they'd rank on the roster, NCAA cuts they'd hit, and how their projection compares to the team's current top swimmers.
