IN SPORT SCIENCE IN SWIMMING YOU’LL LEARN:

• How studying biomechanics is applicable to a regular practice schedule along with accessibility and cost.
• If coaches had the expectation of having access to video technology to improve their teams, then they can also count on having that data to help medical professionals analyze the injuries in order to improve the rehabilitation for their athletes.
• All ages should have access to this new technology and not just Olympic athletes. Performance analysis can easily be viewed and improved.
• Coaches are integral to swimmer success so having that accessibility to coach education along with visuals can be a great way to have more incorporation best practices when it comes to coaching. There is definitely a huge interest so having accessibility and visuals makes coach education seem less intimidating.
