Three Dimensions of Swimming Performance
SwimAI organizes available information around three connected dimensions: performance, technique, and recovery and training load.
1
Performance
What happened during the session?
- Split times
- Pacing consistency
- Average speed
- Total session output
- Performance decline within sets
- Changes across sessions and training blocks
Performance
What happened during the session?
2
Technique
Why did speed or efficiency change?
- Stroke rate
- Stroke length
- Stroke index as an efficiency indicator
- Turns
- Underwater phases
- Breakouts
- Within-session variability
Swimming speed depends partly on the relationship between stroke rate and stroke length. SwimAI helps coaches examine how that relationship changes across sessions and over time.

3
Recovery and Training Load
Can the swimmer sustain the required performance?
- Training volume
- Intensity distribution
- Heart-rate information
- Sleep quality
- Heart-rate variability
- Resting heart rate
- Athlete-reported fatigue
- Stress
- Muscle soreness
- Recovery trends
Available measurements depend on the swimmer's devices, platform permissions, training environment and selected SwimAI implementation.
