We are doing a swim pacer unit for Coach Howard. The project will involve a visual indicator for swimmers through sequential lights. A controller with a digital interface will be designed to adjust the speed of the lights as it moves along the length of the pool (25 yards). Swimmers can follow these lights to help them swim at speeds that are set at predetermined settings or that are varied-by-the-coach-on-deck while the athlete is swimming. The mechanism can be operated on deck by the coach which would give swimmers a pace to follow for each length. The pace can be set from the deck and can be varied to the pace as the swimmer begins each length. The pace range is from 8 to 30 seconds in 0.5 second intervals. The controller interface will include pace profiles preprogramed into the control device. |
