Invitations have been sent to eligible swimmers!
This season, Swimming Queensland have joined with Australian Swim Team Physiotherapist Tom Barton to launch an innovative app – Q Swim. The Q Swim App was created by Tom to help coaches assess, track and address body position out of the pool. As an introductory offer, eligible* swimmers and coaches will receive the Q Swim App for free for the 2018/2019 swimming season. The free access will be until 30 June 2019.
Eligible swimmers need to be:
- A Swimming Queensland Member
- Financial for the 2018/19 season
- 10 years of age or older (as at 1 July 2018)
Eligible coaches need to be:
- A Queensland coach
- A current financial ASCTA member
- Bronze or above Licensed (as at 1 July 2018)
Some of the key features include:
- The ability to compare screen shots between a swimmer, performing an element from their pre-swim warm-up routine, to a screen shot of Mitch Larkin, Olympic Silver Medallist and 2015 Dual World Champion, performing the same activity.
- The ability to quickly measure and compare screen shots of an element from their pre-swim warm-up routine against a previous attempt.
- The ability to create and download customised pre-swim warm-up routines that target the entire body across 4 different challenge levels.
- The best and most up-to-date educational resources, covering topics like coaching, physiotherapy, physiology and skill acquisition.
The Q Swim app has been extensively field tested with coaches, physios and athletes testing the beta version.
