Natalie Coughlin retired from swimming with 12 Olympic medals, as many as an American woman has ever earned, even though at 5’8” she was often dwarfed on the pool deck, especially in her short events when facing 6’1” competitors was not uncommon.
“I would have killed to have that extra five inches, being a sprinter,” Coughlin said. “Because of my smaller stature, I had to learn how to be a technically better swimmer than a lot of my competitors.”
Swimmers’ varying body types makes uniformity of technique impractical, and this understanding is the underpinning of Aspiricx.
That first product, LaneVision, is scheduled for an early release and can generate such metrics as lap splits, average stroke rate, average distance per stroke cycle, underwater velocity, breakout distance and more.
