MySwimEdge

People ask me how long it takes to conduct the analysis, as we don't have an App yet and we need to upload the files from the sensor to the server.

The answer is - it takes just a few minutes even now.

The picture shows the timing of the files created. PDF files are our automatically generated reports for each lap. CSV files are the files that we downloaded from the sensor using our own program and uploaded to the server.

4 laps. 25 minutes. Each lap tests the impact of breathing on the swimming technique. I do it for myself every once in a while. I need to improve the effeciency of my left arm strokes, and the kicks.

The analysis of two laps we can do in 10 minutes. It is actually takes more time to discuss the results with the coach and the swimmer as there is a lot of useful information to discuss.

💡Let's continue talking about science behind MySwimEdge

This is a graph of speed changes during a 50-meter lap by a professional swimmer, she is an Olympic medalist.

📈Do you see that all strokes are very similar?

Especially when you compare the strokes to the strokes of an amateur swimmer.

💡Let's talk a bit about science behind MySwimEdge

This is a graph of the SPEED CHANGES OVER TIME during a 25 meter lap by an amateur swimmer (total time is just over 22 seconds).

You can see how speed was changing DURING EACH STROKE. For a swimmer and for a coach there is a ton of information that they were not able to get before.

And this is just a small example the MySwimEdge of what MySwimEdge can measure.

💥MySwimEdge will take part at icSPORTS 2020 in Budapest

What a great news! The scientific paper co-authored by MySwimEdge team member was accepted by the 8th international Conference on Sport Sciences Research and Technology Support.

This conference intends to be a meeting point for both academics, sport professionals and practitioners to exchange ideas and develop synergies. Most human activities, including sports, are becoming more and more technological. Engineering in general and Information Technology in particular are important in the support for many activities directly or indirectly related to sport sciences, including improvement of physical activities, sports medicine, biotechnology and nutrition, sports management, and all other application areas in sports.

"We are happy to inform that the paper submitted to icSPORTS 2020 with number 27, entitled “Freestyle swimming analysis of symmetry and velocities using a MEMS based IMU: Introducing a symmetry score”, has been accepted as a Full Paper, to be presented online from November 5 to 6, 2020.
All papers accepted to icSPORTS 2020 were peer reviewed by at least two experts from the international program committee, in a double-blind review process."

Do you know that you actually can swim like an Olympian?

❕MySwimEdge helps to build your technique based on the top world swimmers. Perfect technique for each speed.

📲MySwimEdge digitizes techniques of some of the Olympians offers to you a library of digital swimming techniques for various speed levels.

How does MySwimEdge works?

👌It is very easy.

🔸You put the belt on, press the button, swim several laps, press the button again and in a couple of minutes you get your swimming technique analysis, most appropriate exercises and training programs.

📲So you can start improving your technique right away.

🔸Even more, MySwimEdge asks some of these Olympians to give you advice based on the analysis of your technique.

🏊Let’s talk about professionals

❔Do you know that some professionals swim asymmetrically some have very symmetrical strokes?

Ⓜ️MySwimEdge can find the right balance for professionals. Because each stroke is the right balance between timing of each stroke, speed changes DURING each stroke, length of each stroke.

✅With a lot of data a professional and their coaches are so much better equipped to find the most effective technique.
