In the world of competitive swimming, every millisecond counts.
With olympic swimming on the display at the Paris Olympics in 2024 and international glory on the line, we see how coaches and athletes are constantly seeking ways to gain an edge, refine techniques, and optimize performance, especially when races are coming down to the hundreths of a second.
Enter Swim AI v1, ezML's cutting-edge solution that's revolutionizing how swimmers and coaches approach time splits and pacing strategies.
The Power of Precise Splits
Distance splits have long been a crucial tool in swimming analysis. They provide invaluable data on a swimmer's pace, endurance, and overall race strategy. However, traditional methods of capturing splits often rely on manual timing, which can be prone to human error and inconsistency.
Swim AI v1 changes the game with its automatic distance split detection feature. This innovative technology allows users to place custom time split lines at any point along a swimming lane. Once set, our advanced computer vision algorithms take over, tracking swimmers with unprecedented accuracy and automatically capturing split times as they cross these virtual lines.
Key Features of Swim AI v1's Auto Split Detection:
Custom Placement: Place virtual split lines anywhere along the swimming lane to capture distance splits. This enables flexible and focused analysis on specific race segements (e.g., first 15m after a turn)
Advanced Tracking: Uses state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms to track swimmers accurately
Automatic Capture: Instantly records split times as swimmers cross virtual lines
Real-time Feedback: Provides instant, accurate split times for immediate strategy adjustments.
Precision in Challenging Conditions: Accounts for splash, underwater movements, and water refraction
Multi-Swimmer Tracking (coming soon): Consistently identifies and follows individual swimmers, even in crowded lanes or relays. Currently supporting one swimmer per lane.
Highlight: State-of-the-Art Computer Vision Tracking
At the heart of Swim AI v1 is our novel, state-of-the-art computer vision tracking algorithm. This sophisticated system is designed specifically for the unique challenges of tracking swimmers in water, accounting for factors like splash, underwater movements, and the refractive properties of water.
Our algorithm can consistently identify and follow individual swimmers, even in crowded lanes or during relay events. This level of precision ensures that every split time captured is accurate and reliable, providing coaches and athletes with data they can trust.
Customization for Targeted Analysis
One of the standout features of Swim AI v1 is its flexibility. Users can place split lines at any point in the lane, allowing for highly customized analysis. Want to focus on the first 15 meters after a turn? No problem. Interested in comparing the second and third 25m of a 100m race? Swim AI v1 makes it simple.
This customization empowers coaches to analyze specific aspects of a swimmer's performance, identifying areas for improvement with pinpoint accuracy.
Benefits for Swimmers and Coaches:
Developing Olympic-Caliber Pacing Strategies
Swim AI v1's automatic split detection revolutionizes pacing approaches. By providing instant, accurate feedback, swimmers can experiment with and visualize different pacing strategies in real-time. This accelerates the learning process, helping athletes quickly internalize effective techniques.
Olympic history highlights the critical nature of precise pacing:
Beijing 2008: Michael Phelps' meticulous split-time strategy led to a 0.01-second victory in the 200m butterfly.
Rio 2016: Kyle Chalmers' negative split approach clinched gold in the 100m freestyle.
Swim AI v1 brings this level of strategic insight to swimmers at all levels, enabling the development of winning race strategies.
Enhancing Technical Performance and Race Analysis
The precise data from Swim AI v1 offers unprecedented insights into a swimmer's performance across different race segments. Coaches and athletes can:
Identify areas where technique breaks down or efficiency is lost
Pinpoint endurance issues or fatigue-related technical flaws
Leverage a swimmer's strengths in race strategy
Implement targeted training interventions
This level of detailed analysis allows for a scientific approach to training and racing, moving beyond subjective assessments to data-driven improvements.
Achieving Significant Time Improvements
By combining strategic pacing and technical refinement, Swim AI v1 aims to help swimmers:
Distribute energy optimally throughout races
Avoid early burnout and Finish strong
Shave crucial seconds off in longer events
Gain fractions of a second in sprints - often the difference between podium and participation
This powerful tool unlocks a swimmer's full potential, turning consistent training and intelligent pacing into tangible competitive results, whether it's at a local meet or on the Olympic stage.
Swim AI is Drastically Expanding 🚀
As we continue to refine and expand Swim AI, we're excited about the potential for even more advanced analysis and insights. Future versions may incorporate additional metrics, such as stroke efficiency analysis and turn performance, to provide an even more comprehensive view of a swimmer's performance.
Swim AI v1's automatic time split detection is more than just a convenient feature – it's a powerful tool that's changing how swimmers train and compete. By providing accurate, customizable, and instant split data, we're empowering athletes and coaches to make data-driven decisions that lead to faster times and better performances.
Whether you're a coach looking to take your team to the next level, or a swimmer aiming for personal bests, Swim AI v1 offers the insights and accuracy you need to succeed in the pool. Experience the future of swim analysis – try Swim AI v1 today.
