Looking for an underwater camera/ Go Pro

Good morning, all.  I practice on my own, and I would like to be able to examine my strokes and turns from an underwater vantage point.  Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might work best for them?  Thank you so much, and happy swimming!!

  • Hi - I looked into that a few months ago - best idea I came up with was a "cover" for my phone - problem still is to keep it steady and below water but got creative there and attached it to something heavy. But then I got "annoyed" by quality and time and effort and all - did a real video assessment by reg swim club - not advertising - RaceClub - its the best thing you can do to improve your swimming. All angles for underwater and above water and have somebody "new" take a good look and get the videos ....  Still think you can do most of this on your own as well - At any age above maybe 14 I strongly believe you need advice too but YOU are your own best coach - seeing yourself is just so powerful to change things. Just don't overwork it - you can't work on more than 1 "thing" at a time and it takes a while to change your technique.
