“…Recently, great progress has been made in wireless tracking and positioning on the ground [1]. Unfortunately, much less research on underwater positioning and tracking has been undertaken and reported [2]. There are a number of major challenges in underwater tracking and positioning.…”

A scheme for positioning swimmers using underwater acoustic networks is proposed. The design and the performance of such a network are presented. Owing to its high accuracy, the spherical interpolation approach is employed as the positioning algorithm. The configuration of the network, namely, the arrangement of anchor nodes in the swimming pool, is optimized to achieve the highest accuracy with the minimum number of nodes and therefore the lowest cost. The simulation study includes both two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) cases in order to understand the variation of positioning estimation accuracy in horizontal and vertical directions.

“…Feedback at the time of the event has been shown to assist performance, given it is delivered in an approach to provide specific outcomes (e.g. Smith, Norris, & Hogg, 2002;Justham et al, 2008;Kirby, 2009;Phillips et al, 2013;Ridge & Richards, 2011). Additionally, the feedback needs to be considered from both a measurement and relevance perspective which needs be task and performer specific (Phillips et al, 2013).…”

The effectiveness of the swimming turn is highly influential to overall performance in competitive swimming. The push-off or wall contact, within the turn phase, is directly involved in determining the speed the swimmer leaves the wall. Therefore, it is paramount to develop reliable methods to measure the wall-contact-time during the turn phase for training and research purposes. The aim of this study was to determine the concurrent validity and reliability of the Pool Pad App to measure wall-contact-time during the freestyle and backstroke tumble turn. The wall-contact-times of nine elite and sub-elite participants were recorded during their regular training sessions. Concurrent validity statistics included the standardised typical error estimate, linear analysis and effect sizes while the intraclass correlating coefficient (ICC) was used for the reliability statistics. The standardised typical error estimate resulted in a moderate Cohen's d effect size with an R value of 0.80 and the ICC between the Pool Pad and 2D video footage was 0.89. Despite these measurement differences, the results from this concurrent validity and reliability analyses demonstrated that the Pool Pad is suitable for measuring wall-contact-time during the freestyle and backstroke tumble turn within a training environment.

“…In this technique the measurement equipment is kept on the pool with a direct connection to the swimmer in the water. [10] The equipment connected directly to the athlete in the swimming performance transfers the motion inputs into analytical data translated afterwards to numerical graphs and tables [11]. Velocity is measured using the direct analysis monitoring approach by using a cabled system connected between the swimmer and the measuring device [12].…”

The intent of this paper is to introduce a monitoring system for the instantaneous velocity measurements of swimming movements, aiming to provide useful data representation to be used by coaches to analyze the athletes' performance. The basis of the system is using a video monitoring system to record the underwater movements during actual performance of the swimmer and analyze them through numerical data graphical representation of the velocity. The swimmers instantaneous velocity is evaluated versus the swimming movements, this combination gives a clearer and detailed figure of the swimming movements on a timely manner, enabling the identification of the points of strength and weakness in the athletes' performance.
