The team was the first to notably partner with their mathematics department, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-math-behind-the-medals-professor-ken-ono-is-helping-virginia-revolutionize-swimming-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">specifically Dr. Ken Ono<\/a>, in order to break down a swimmer\u2019s mechanics using mathematical modeling. Coaches used statistics and tracking technology to point to \u201ctechnical flaws\u201d in a swimmer\u2019s stroke, as Olympian <strong>Kate Douglass<\/strong> noted in her research paper, \u201cSwimming in Data.\u201d The approach allowed the athletes to be more efficient than ever before. This efficiency led to pure dominance for Virginia &#8211; four straight NCAA women\u2019s titles and multiple Olympians. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But could the success be replicated? And how? Arizona State seeks to answer that question, after hiring USA Swimming statistician and coach <strong>Corey Manley<\/strong> this July. I spoke to Manley about Arizona State\u2019s process, one which could continue to revolutionize college swimming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why Statistics In Swimming?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a national champion, improvement is a difficult task. But as a new era began at Arizona State, questions arose as to how the team could continue their success, which included an NCAA title to cap the 2023-24 season. The answer seems to lie in the math. Manley, a former swimmer at Holy Cross and coach at Delaware club powerhouse Diamond State Aquatics, came in with a unique skill set, one which he believes \u201ctranslates perfectly\u201d into the world of college swimming. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSwimming, unlike most team sports, has very little extraneous variables, making it a natural fit for data to be aggregated,&#8221; Manley said. Essentially, without having to worry about what play was called, or what route was run, it\u2019s easier to analyze swimming statistically. Everything comes down to time, making the sport \u201ca great starting point\u201d for sports analytics, according to Manley.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Using Data at Practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_583235\" style=\"width: 396px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-583235\" data-attachment-id=\"583235\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/herbie-behm-succeeds-bob-bowman-as-head-coach-at-arizona-state\/herbie-behm-arizona-state\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/herbie-behm-arizona-state.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,750\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"herbie-behm-arizona-state\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;4-28-26&lt;br \/&gt;\n4\/1\/24&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Peter H.

Bick<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For ASU, which is under the watch of head coach <strong>Herbie Behm<\/strong>, this \u201cdata aggregation\u201d has become a key part of the daily routine. Behm has been at the forefront of innovation in the sport, always looking for a new wrinkle, approach and data to push his swimmers further. The coaching staff meets daily to discuss statistics and data points from the week, beginning with how they will structure practices. Manley pointed to a desire to \u201creverse-engineer\u201d a race as the inspiration for their training, looking to \u201ctinker with sets, but keep the same intention.\u201d He pointed to certain days like a \u201cspeed day,\u201d giving the coaches data points to collect, and to compare week by week.\u00a0 These points can then be used to analyze the effectiveness of the training throughout the week. \u201cThe goal is to keep consistency,\u201d emphasized the coach, but also analyze how to improve practice structure, making the swimming more efficient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The coaches structure practice to \u201cmeet the individualities of the athlete,\u201d according to Manley. This setup establishes a personalized experience. The staff evaluates each athlete&#8217;s performance not just through times, but \u201cwellness check-ins,\u201d in which swimmers evaluate their preparedness for any given training day. The check-ins help the coaches measure whether a poor performance was simply a bad day, or if a structural problem exists in how they are being trained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Using Data Outside The Pool<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data also allows coaches to give swimmers specific points to work on throughout practice. For example, through analysis that a swimmer is struggling in the opening third of 50s fast during training, the staff could advise the swimmer to put a heavier focus upon their start and breakout throughout the week. The amount of data collected allows training improvement in a variety of ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While obviously essential, training in the pool represents just one part of the process to winning a national championship. It\u2019s why the ASU staff and Manley put the same focus and attention on what their athletes do in the weight room. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe train 20 hours a week (in the pool)\u2026 which is not a holistic way of doing,\u201d said Manley. The weight room gives the team \u201cadditional data points to pull from.\u201d The team meets with strength coaches daily, similarly checking if sets throughout the week are effective by analyzing swimmer results. They also complete daily \u201cwellness check-ins,&#8221; just like in the pool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team\u2019s recovery outside of the pool represents another key piece of their performance. The staff looks to \u201creact in real time\u201d to perceived overtraining, according to Manley, adjusting based upon these metrics. This approach allows them to prevent injuries and emphasizes health. By collecting data from two measures \u201cnot heavily tracked,\u201d the Sun Devils give themselves an advantage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Using Data at Meets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With training just beginning for this collegiate season, considerable preparation remains for the defending champs. But as they approach competition, the analytics collected will become even more crucial. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe data allows us to make changes in a meet lineup beyond just one\u2019s best time,\u201d Manley said. The team looks to use \u201cnot just a data point from a dual meet in March\u201d but data \u201cfrom the last three Wednesdays of work, per se.\u201d The collection of additional data points allows the coaches to make \u201ca more informed decision\u201d beyond just one race. A swimmer could be struggling with sickness early in the season, only to perform well at practice later. This data would create more opportunity for that swimmer to contribute, bettering the team. In a sport defined by hundredths of a second, the approach is critical.\u00a0 In order to dominate dual meets once again, the Sun Devils are thinking above and beyond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through the hiring of Manley, Arizona State continues to innovate in their quest for another championship. Manley believes \u201cit\u2019s now time to put up or shut up. The burden is on us to prove this is something worth exploring.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimism remains high in Tempe, as ASU continues through early training. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe believe if we can aggregate, it can tell us a really compelling story,\u201d Manley said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Arizona State, the hope is that the story ends with another title, while transforming college swimming in the process. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swimming in Statistics: How Arizona State Is Changing College Swimming Four years ago, the University of Virginia changed college swimming.
