  • Abstract
    This project discusses studies to relate movement and style of stroke to velocities of swimmers. Implementation of sensors and video to provide aid to coaches in defining the difference in swimmer´s stroke action and their performance will be considered. Sensors will generate data on performance of swimmer whilst underwater camera records action of swimmer that results in the generated data. Sensors are attached to swimmers body and they will be designed such a way that no distraction will be present for swimmer´s performance.
