Can a simple device strapped to your hands revolutionise your swimming technique? On this episode of Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast we bring back Jaimie Fuller, the innovative CEO and co-founder of EO Sports Tech, to explore just that. Jamie takes us on a deep dive into the world of EO swimming handsets, which capture biomechanical feedback at an astonishing 50 times per second. These lightweight handsets analyse critical data points such as force, direction, speed, and hand angle to help swimmers fine-tune their propulsion efficiency. Jaimie breaks down the science behind the data and offers practical insights on how to set up, record, and analyse swim sessions for maximum benefit.

Improving technique isn't just for the young and elite; older athletes can significantly enhance their performance with data-driven adjustments. Using examples from swimming greats like Kyle Chalmers, Jaimie explains how force application and body position impact overall efficiency. We tackle common issues such as inefficient kicking, body drag, and excessive downward force caused by improper elbow positioning. Jaimie provides actionable tips tailored for both sprinters and distance swimmers, emphasising the importance of shoulder flexibility and targeted adjustments to prevent injuries and improve technique.

Finally, we address the gap between perceived and actual swimming techniques. Jaimie shares a compelling case study of a Norwegian swimmer who discovered significant discrepancies in his hand path through video analysis. Combining visual feedback with performance data metrics like stroke rate and hand path consistency, we uncover how even minor head movements during breathing can affect efficiency. Solutions such as using a snorkel for better balance are discussed, offering valuable advice for swimmers facing flexibility issues. Synchronising video footage with performance data, we demonstrate how a comprehensive analysis can lead to substantial improvements in swimming technique. Join us for an episode rich in insights and practical advice, designed to propel your swimming skills to the next level.
