StrokeView at The Ohio State University

The Ohio State University men's and women's teams are two of the latest programs to experience the benefits that StrokeView's unique underwater recording technology can bring to coaches and athletes. "We needed a system that is simple to set up, utilize and break down as well as user friendly. We got that and so much more with StrokeView. (They) have built a system with athlete, coach and team in mind," says Women's Head Coach Bill Dorenkott. "I have been a part of programs that have utilized video feedback with athletes for over 20 years. This system is the best that I have used in terms of providing your swimmers with a quick, practical and useful tool that will provide significant stroke feedback."

Men's Head Coach Bill Wadley (pictured above) has also seen the impact StrokeView can have on swimmers. "The StrokeView SV4 system has been a wonderful addition to our video portion of our daily practices," says Wadley, "The underwater cameras are clear and can get any picture needed based on placing them in the proper positions. We have found the system easy to set up and take down (10 min or so) and can be left to record the entire practice or just a portion based on your needs. Our team has enjoyed seeing their videos and has made numerous strides in the short time we have had the system."

The Buckeye coaches have also experienced the collaborative approach that StrokeView takes with their partners. "(StrokeView was sure to) walk us through the operation and make sure that we had peace of mind. In addition, they have encouraged us to call them directly to answer our questions and assist in any way necessary." Adds Dorenkott, "StrokeView asked us after our purchase if we had any feedback for them. Based on the Buckeye team and facility we suggested an alteration to one of the parts...it was done and shipped to us within a week." The Dorenkott attachment was born out of the OSU coach's suggestion and is now included in all SV4 base packages.
