White Dolphin Technology contributes to the British Swimming Olympic Medals
All members of the outstanding British Team at the Beijing Olympics (including medallists Rebecca Adlington (2 Golds), Cassandra Patten (2 Bronze), Keri-Anne Payne (Silver) and David Davie (Silver)) had their stroke techniques, starts and turns regularly analysed using the White Dolphin camera buggy system, during their preparations for the games, so as to optimise performance.
 
In addition, all the technical equipment used during the 10km Open Water medal swims, such as the feeding poles and the communication devices were developed and/or supplied by White Dolphin Technology.
 
We are proud to have played a part in the most successful British Olympic Team ever.
 
With the 2012 London Olympics in mind British Swimming has specified that White Dolphin Technology will provide the core of the technical analysis and swimming specific training equipment at all their new Intensive Training Centres (ITCs), recognising that White Dolphin Technology is a leader in swimming technology innovation.
 

-- Motorised Mobile Performance Analysis System --
The White Dolphin Technology Camera Buggy System used in Loughborough, Leeds, Australia and Cyprus is currently being installed in Liverpool, Llandudno, Madrid and Beijing. It the most sophisticated and powerful tool for videoing the dynamic underwater action of swimming. The extremely powerful buggy easily keeps pace with the swimmer, with the three cameras mounted on the underwater arm attached to the buggy allow side, front and rear views of the swimmer.

The buggy is very easy to set up. From storage the buggy takes less than a minute to become fully operational. The buggy is highly flexible. It is powerful enough to tow the swimmer through the water for over-speed training. It comes with a number of options including a backstroke mirror. This mirror is suspended on an arm above the swimmer and keeps pace with the swimmer. Thus the full action of the backstroke can be watched in the reflection by the performer.

At approximately £20,000 this buggy system is a fraction of the cost of any other motorized system in the world and yet can outperform most.

The Mobile Performance Analysis System uses the poolside to guide it. The drive wheels are angled slightly away from the poolside. Consequently, it is constantly trying to move away from the edge of the pool. The guide wheels prevent this from happening resulting in the buggy moving parallel to the pool edge. Each time the direction of movement changes actuators pivot the drive wheels appropriately. The movement from full lock-to-full lock takes about a second.

The camera arm has three cameras providing different views of the swimmer. As the buggy can be positioned to be in front of, to the side of, or behin...more »
