Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the link, I had come across Xmetrics device but not the triton wear. Triton seems to address many of the functions that I am trying to address too and more, apart from the 15m distance. That makes sense about the velocity profile as its changing every split second with the swimmers shape. Not to mention the complications of determining the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic behaviour of the individual swimmer that is probably needed to make a “real-time” distance device. I’ve not given myself an easy task haha.
I also have a similar view about the wrist, mostly because the swimmer cannot get obvious real-time feedback. Was this similar to your reasoning?
