The metrics include splits, stroke rates, index and speed, DPS, time in breakouts, turns and underwater. In short, the information recorded in a small unit placed inside a swimmer\u2019s cap, is transmitted immediately to an iPad. This data gives coach and swimmer the ability to track training, diagnose weaknesses and monitor progress. Additionally, motion analysis software syncs video with the power of acceleration and speed data. The resulting frame by frame output clearly indicates which movements help a swimmer gain or lose speed within their strokes and skills.<\/p>\n<h3>The Northridge Experience<\/h3>\n<p>NASA is a technique driven club that prides itself on swimming efficiency. Initially Hembree bought 10 TritonWear units to work with 22 athletes doing test sets. However, he gradually transitioned the units to his national team members for entire workouts so the coaching staff could best utilize TritonWear\u2019s load monitoring system.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_371362\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tritonwear.com\/introducing-triton-2?utm_campaign=Swimming%20World&amp;utm_source=Swimming% 20World&amp;utm_medium=Gen%202%20Pre-sales&amp;utm_term=Feature%20Guesswork&amp;utm_content=900x125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-371362\" data-attachment-id=\"371362\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/tritonwear-brings-affordable-ai-powered-analytics-to-all-swimmers\/triton-2_cap\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Triton-2_cap.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3120,2080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;X-T3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1556812609&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;56&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Triton Wear 2_cap\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10\/2\/19&lt;br \/&gt;\nTriton Wear&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Triton-2_cap-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Triton-2_cap-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-371362 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Triton-2_cap-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming Technology TritonWear training device on swimmer's head\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-371362\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Swimming technology manufacturer TritonWear&#8217;s Triton2 unit slips under the cap and connects to any mobile device.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis summer we experimented with power metric increase,\u201d says Hembree. We had a kinesiologist come in several times a week to work with our national team athletes in order to develop data to effect more powerful starts and turns. We are still processing how this went, but the short term results are looking promising,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTritonWear usage reinforced our discussions with swimmers that efficient swimming is Fast swimming,\u201d says Hembree. It revealed times swum, measured efficiency and allowed athletes to see why their efficiency rating wasn&#8217;t what it should be. These days any discussion I have with a swimmer about TW data always starts with the stroke index (measurement of efficiency). From there we look at other metrics to determine why a particular swim was more or less efficient than the one before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the beginning of the season I discuss metrics with swimmers. My expectation is that after a conversation the swimmer goes home, reviews the data and then meets with me to discuss and study the charts. I carry an iPad on deck during sets to gather information to relay to swimmers between reps. Early on the data collected indicated that we were pretty efficient. However, the real key is finding an application in the pool &#8212; and in a race. TritonWear, with data from multiple athletes, has given me a better perspective of where we stand with technique and efficiency as an organization. From there I relay the information to our developmental coaches so they can plan accordingly,\u201d says Hembree.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_371363\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tritonwear.com\/introducing-triton-2?utm_campaign=Swimming%20World&amp;utm_source=Swimming% 20World&amp;utm_medium=Gen%202%20Pre-sales&amp;utm_term=Feature%20Guesswork&amp;utm_content=900x125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-371363\" data-attachment-id=\"371363\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/tritonwear-brings-affordable-ai-powered-analytics-to-all-swimmers\/triton-2_tablet-screen\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Triton-2_tablet-screen.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"6240,4160\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;X-T3&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1556812084&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;56&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Triton 2_tablet screen\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;5\/27\/19&lt;br \/&gt;\nTriton Wear&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Triton-2_tablet-screen-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Triton-2_tablet-screen-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-371363 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Triton-2_tablet-screen-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming Technology TritonWear 2 tablet screen\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-371363\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;I carry an iPad on deck during sets to gather information to relay to swimmers between reps,&#8221; coach Kyle Hembree.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cTritonWear\u2019s swimming technology allows us to compare current with earlier data.

To be fair, some of the results would have been the same but not as widespread. The global impact of being able to see where we are as an organization was priceless and would have been much more difficult to see without TW,\u201d says Hembree.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne learning I gained was that to get the best use from TritonWear every athlete needs their own device. We did not have that option initially. Our plans for the 2019-2020 season include a TritonWear 2 unit for every swimmer that wants one. Athletes will wear a device for every training session. We will also use the units at more competitions.
