I'm a bit of gadget geek, I've recorded using Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX20, tablets in a waterproof bag, cell phone in a waterproof bag - all to varying degrees of success (I liked the Sony the best).
That works fine for individual improvement, but I am thinking about a team or even a clinic situation... What have you used w/ pro's con's? From what I can see research wise there are a couple high end options (Swim Pro and StrokeView ), and some cheaper alternatives. Main requirements are that it provide immediate feedback (able to view video on deck) and saveable, ideally digital format.
Are there others I should look at? Anything that you recommend?
Thanks in advance,

I use the fuji finepix 50 waterproof version. The ability to view and freeze frame on the camera is a big thing that I like.
I have this pole mount, www.intova.net/.../ and use 3/4 inch pvc that I paid 99 cents for as the pole.
I have never liked side views from a stationary camera since you can't really see what is going. I use the pole to get underwater tracking shots from side and front.
I think if i were to buy another one I would look for one with a wider lens so that I could hopefully film from the same lane I am shooting. Now I need to film from the first lane and have the swimmer in the 2nd lane to get the whole swimmer in the frame.
I had a coachcam for years and this beats the hell out the coachcam honestly.
