Velocity Paddle Test

The EO SwimBETTER system, which includes the use of "swim velocity paddles," is a cutting-edge technology for swimmers. It's not a traditional paddle test but rather a data-driven system that uses wearable devices on a swimmer's hands. These devices act like a power meter, measuring and analyzing the force and velocity of each stroke.

The purpose of the EO system is to provide detailed, real-time feedback on a swimmer's stroke mechanics. It measures data points such as hand velocity, stroke path, force production, and the angle of the hand throughout the stroke. By analyzing this data, swimmers and coaches can pinpoint inefficiencies, identify where propulsive force is lost, and make precise adjustments to technique.

This leads to a more efficient stroke, increased power, and ultimately, faster swim times. It's a tool used for personalized stroke refinement rather than a simple timed test.
