Underwater Competitive Stroke analysis Can't Post
Hi,

I am a swimming coach who needs to do some underwater stroke analysis. I have seen a "Coach Scope" which is a pole with a lens on the end. Any digital video can be attached to it and the lens of the pole is held underwater and very effective results can be obtained. Coach Scope seem to have stopped producing this item and I am wondering if anyone knows of similar.

Regards

Slightly diffferent idea, have you considered one of those u/w video cameras that fishermen use. Basically it's a small u/w camera you attach to a line/pole that has a coax cable which feeds a monitor/vcr at the surface. I'm not sure if they aren't blurry when moved fast through the water though, something to ask the seller.

Here's an example: http://www.consumersmarine.com/products2/productdetail.cfm?i=530007&c=53&s=bizrate

Google underwater video cameras to find others. They all seem to be around $150-300. I even see them on eBay occasionally.
