Benefits of technology

[0004]Head-gear worn by the swimmer includes several items that function together for sending information to the coach on the one hand, and for receiving information and instructions from the coach on the other hand. A swimmer's data collection kit (SWDCK), worn by the swimmer, includes an assemblage of hardware components. A part of the assemblage is a variety of sensors which collect data relating to positioning of the swimmer, physiological data and physi

Problems solved by technology

The environment in which swimming is performed is typically more challenging than the environment surrounding athletes.
First, a swimmer is submerged in water fully or partially which is in itself challenging for a systems including electrical circuits and components.
Second, a swimmer is not at all times immersed in water and is at times out of the water, resting, doing out of water exercise, or even when swimming, raising parts of the body out of the water.

Embodiment Construction

[0009]A swimmer's data collection kit (SWDCK) 20 in accordance with the present invention features an assemblage of hardware components, mostly electronic, mounted on a swimmer-worn gear. Referring first to FIG. 1, the assemblage of components includes a variety of sensors 22 connected to a processor 24. This connection typically employs an adaptor (not shown) to condition the signal of a sensor to the processor, for example by digitizing the electrical signal of the sensor. Processor 24 connects to display 26, and to transceiver 28. Memory 32, is typically a flash memory unit, and is connected to processor 24. Power supply 36 powers all the components in the assemblage. In another embodiment, the signals emanating from the sensors, after being digitized are stored in a digital storage device before being processed. The signals, or information derived from such signals can be stores after processed. SWDCK 20 and some of its components can be shared with other modules of the inventio...

Abstract

A training system for assisting a coach to train a swimmer, including a swimmer side system and a coach side system electronically communicated. The swimmer wears a head-gear which includes a swimmer's data collection kit (SWDCK) which includes in turn sensors, a processor and a transceiver. A display for the swimmer is attached to a head belt or to goggles. A speaker for transferring audible information to the swimmer is typically a bone-conduction speaker. A control module is operated by the coach, which includes a transmitter for communicating with the swimmer worn head-gear, a computer and a display and software,

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional patent application 61 / 361,927, entitled “Apparatus for assisting swimming training”, filed on Jul. 7, 2010.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to training devices for sportspeople and their instructor / coach.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Training system for sportspeople and others who toil about their fitness are available today in several forms, providing a multiplicity of data that can be used as grounds for physiological analysis and performance study. Such commercially available training systems currently support sports activity related to athletics but there is a need for a system that can specifically support swimmers. The environment in which swimming is performed is typically more challenging than the environment surrounding athletes. First, a swimmer is submerged in water fully or partially which is in itself challenging for a systems including ...
