Sligo Triathlon Club is going to run another swim video analysis session on Thursday 17th February. Two bits of good news is that there is no charge to take part in this for club members (it's very expensive and difficult to get done otherwise) and we're going to run it on a thursday night so as not to cut into our normal training times like we'd done previously.
We had 12 swimmers last time who did the video session but didn't come to the review or collect their CDs, these swimmers will be allowed have their existing CDs reviewed but won't be allowed get new footage this time for reasons of fairness.
The session will get underway at 9:50pm sharp. All swimmers must be on the poolside and ready to get into the water by then. All swimmers need to register and be assigned a number before the session. Registration is quick and will start at 9:20pm on the poolside stand. It's essential that everyone gets a number and stays in sequence otherwise we won't be able to indentify swimmers. If you arrive to the complex at 9:50pm or later you won't be allowed take part so make sure to get there on time for registration.
The stills show the camera angles we will be using, 2 under and 2 over water.
It's useful to bring a bathrobe or big towel to keep warm in between your videod lengths. You will only swim 2 lengths in the session, one for two front camera angles and one for two side angles and will be sitting on deckside getting cold in between.
We will gather at a later date to analyse strokes, all swimmers will get a CD with their vfootage on it (only theirs, no one elses). The purpose of the session is to allow people see what their stroke actually looks like and to identify areas for improvement. This is the 6th session the club has ran with previous ones proving very successful. There really is nothing like seeing your own video to get an instant understanding of your strengths and weaknesses in the water, it's a powerfull tool.
Everyone attending the Weds, Friday and Tuesday swims are encouraged to attend. Any club members outside of swim sessions are also welcome but please email shane_odoherty@yahoo.co.uk so we know our numbers. The sessions is not open to non club members.
