Onboarding a small number of programs first.

THE REPORT CARD

One lap, three phases, buried insights brought up.

A stopwatch gives you one number for the whole swim. Two swimmers can post that same number off completely different races, one on a strong start, the other on a strong back half. Swimnetics splits the swim where the race actually changes and scores each part on its own.

One lap, start to touch. The race splits itself into three parts, and each one is scored on its own.

The start

Off the block and into the water

How hard the push was, how long the streamline held, and how much speed the entry gave back before the first kick.

The underwater

Every kick, counted

The pullout is the part of the race almost nobody has numbers for. Swimnetics finds each downkick in the speed trace and measures what it bought.

The swimming

Stroke by stroke to the touch

Every cycle from the breakout to the wall, measured against the ones on either side of it rather than against an average.

HOW IT IS JUDGED

Compare your current against your past.

There is no national average worth coaching against. A fourteen year old breaststroker and a college sprinter do not share a target. Every number in the report card is put next to the same swimmer’s recent swims in the same stroke, so the only thing you are ever comparing them to is themselves. Inside the usual range is a normal day. Outside it is worth a conversation.

Built from that athlete’s own historyThe usual range comes from their last five swims in the same stroke, so it moves as they improve. Nothing is scored against a number we invented.

Alerts all changeNot only the drops. Anything that lands outside the usual range gets flagged, the gains as well as the losses. Anything still inside it is a normal day and stays quiet, so an alert always means something actually moved.

Concise summariesThe card opens with how many alerts came back and which way they went, so you know whether this swim needs you before you scroll. Clear it once you have looked.

EVERY CYCLE

Find the one stroke that was different.

Averages hide the stroke you actually needed to see. Swimnetics draws every cycle of the swim together, so a stroke that does not match the ones around it stands out on sight. You do not need to read a number to know something was off, and you can tell straight away which stroke of the lap it was.

The same view works underwater, one line per dolphin kick, which is how you tell a pullout that faded from one that was short to begin with.

5 CYCLES, ONE VIEW

Cycle 5 runs longer and flatter than the ones around it. That is the one to ask about.

VIDEO

Up to four angles on one timeline.

Add as many views of the swim as you filmed. Scrub any one clip to the push off and click once, and from then on every camera and the speed graph move together on a single timeline. Drag anywhere and all of them land on the same moment, so what you are watching and what the trace says are never a guess apart.

THE DEVICE

One unit covers the lane.

The encoder clamps to the starting block and tethers to a belt around the swimmer’s waist. Nothing is worn on the wrist, nothing goes in the cap, and nothing has to be charged between swimmers. One athlete finishes, hands the belt to the next one, and the set keeps moving. A squad of thirty does not need thirty devices.

Built for a wet deckSplashproof, and made to live in chlorine and sun without going brittle.

Safety built inThe tether holds on a breakaway magnet and lets go if it ever snags, so the swimmer is never tied to the block.

No laptop on deckRecords over Bluetooth straight to an iPhone, standing at the block.

Back in about thirty secondsThe swim uploads and processes on its own while the next swimmer gets ready.

HOW IT WORKS

From dive to report card in three steps.

1

Clamp it on

The unit clamps to the starting block and the swimmer buckles on the belt. Setup takes about a minute, and you only do it once for the whole session.

2

Run the set

Tap record and coach the lane the way you normally would. The swimmer just swims. Nothing about the set has to change to fit the device.

3

Read the card

The swim uploads on its own and comes back split by phase, with anything that moved already marked at the top.
