What is SwiMetrics?

SwiMetrics is the world's most sophisticated swimming analytical tool for swimmers, water polo players and triathletes.

SwiMetrics measures and records the velocity (speed in meters per second) and force (in kilograms) at specific points in the swimming stroke. The test results are synchronized with DartFish software to superimpose velocity and force curves (60 times per second) with an underwater video of the athlete.

The vertical green line in the middle of the SwiMetrics videos shown below indicate the swimmer's position on the video. The real-time velocity data at every point in the swimming cycle is represented by a "Velocity Curve" (which is the continuous white line shown below the swimmer in the video). It is used by pool swimmers, open water swimmers, channel swimmers and water polo players.
