Problem # 1

It’s technically difficult.

Anyone can film a swimmer from the deck and view that footage, even in slow motion, with any phone or camera. But looking at swimmers from underwater angles, is what every swim coach wishes he/she could do.

Not so fast, though. Our problem is that WiFi and Bluetooth signals do not carry under water. They just don’t.

Move a GoPro a few inches under water and you can neither view the video, nor control it from a device on the deck via either of the wireless signals (Bluetooth and WiFi) that it uses to communicate with phones and tablets.

Which all means that using a simple action camera will not do the trick- you can neither live monitor, nor record swimmers under water without physically pushing buttons on it.

Problem # 2

It’s time consuming.

Bulk of the time when working with video, goes to editing it together (finding footage you want, cutting it, putting it into a coherent sequence and adding comments), NOT filming the scenes… as anyone in the movie business well knows. And who really has the time, experience and expertise to do all that? Probably not the average swim coach or club owner.

Even if you know (and want) to do all that filming and editing yourself, you would still have to get your own equipment, starting with the cameras and monitoring screens to stuff to hold the cameras in place or move it with the swimmers as you film- think tripods, dollies, rails etc.

In short, none of it is cheap, neither easy to manage or store.

Problem # 3

It’s expensive.

There are places where you can take your swimmers to get filmed, either in flow tanks, or pools. And there are kits you can buy to outfit your own pool. Both of those options will cost thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars.

You can also jerry-rig something together yourself, but once again, it takes some know-how, footage is probably not going to be that great… and do you really want to bother with it all, time and money wise?

Problem # 4

Facilities (or rather lack of access).

Not every swim team/club has it’s own pool they can modify at will.

And not everyone wants to travel.
