Video Analysis

Video analysis is one of the more powerful ways to really understand what is happening in your body while swimming. Not only do we see what is happening in your moving body parts’ relationship to one another and your body’s relationship to the water, we see clues as to what is happening inside your body as well, identifying your strengths and opportunities for development.

You will benefit from our biomechanically-astute approach to analysing your body position and movement patterns. Using SwimMastery’s fundamental and advanced skills framework our video analysis service provides you with a logical assessment of your highest-priority needs and guidance on how to make those changes that will improve your swimming performance.

  • Video Shoot Standards

    Please aim for these standards as you shoot your video:

    Take some practice shots first to make sure you get the intended view.

    Capture the full body in the video frame.

    Keep the camera very stable.

    Keep lighting behind the camera so that swimmer is illuminated (rather than put into silhouette). Have camera between swimmer and windows with outside light, or underwater lights.

    Capture 8 to 12 whole strokes in sequence for each view we ask for.

    Swim with the stroke intensity that matches the way you normally swim.


    Angles To Capture

    The most important viewpoints to shoot are…

    Underwater side view

    Surface side view

    Underwater front view

    Surface front view

    Top view
