The SwimWatch Turn Analyzer can be used to analyse a turn and it works in a similar way as the Race Analyzer. That means you can analyse a turn in high detail and in a very short time. By comparing turns of different swimmers you will learn how you can improve the turns of your swimmers!
After capturing the movement can be analysed by using the mouse (or in case of a touch screen a pen or finger) to point the positions of several body parts. The amount of time that takes, depends on the number of body parts and the number of points that are set for each body part. With every next turn of the same athlete, the system will get faster because it 'learns' by analysing the previous movement.
After completing the process, the analysis file and the video file(s) are available for the coaches. To make distribution of files easier, a Distribute mode has been added. In this mode you can copy or move analysis and video files to and from an external disk.
Just like the analysis made by the SwimWatch Race Analyzer and Start Analyzer are very detailed, so are the analysis of the Turn Analyzer. The amount of parameters that can be measured depends on the variation (Lite, Standard of Pro), extra parameters will be added in future versions. If you have requests for additional parameters, SwimWatch is able to create a Custom version that includes all the parameters you are interested in!
Before you register the software, you can test the software free of charge. However, the software is restricted in it's use. In case of the SwimWatch Turn Analyzer it is not possible to save video clips and analysis. However, you can experience the entire process of analysing a turn using samples (video anad analysis). These files can be downloaded from within the software.
Experience has shown that this software is used by different types of users: from amateur to professional. For that reason this software has three user levels: Lite, Standard and Pro. Lite is intended for small clubs, Standard for bigger clubs and Pro for professional users or National teams. These variations are combined into a single program. After startup a form is shown in which the desired variation can be chosen.
