Features
Frame-accurate video
Step one frame at a time, slow playback down to 0.1×, and scrub with fine control. Marks land on real frames of your footage.
Stroke cycle counting
Count with the 1, 2 and 3 keys while the video plays. A new length starts automatically after each turn, and IM races are counted stroke by stroke.
Tempo analysis
Seconds per cycle and cycles per minute for every length, with averages that leave out the breakout and finish cycles.
Reaction time and splits
Mark the start light once, then the block and each wall, or type official splits from the results sheet.
Sub-splits
Time the underwater and breakout zones: a 15 m mark in every pool, 25 m and 35 m in long course, and an optional flags-to-wall split.
Reports and comparisons
Race reports with splits, stroke counts and the tempo graph. Compare swims side by side and export to PDF, HTML or CSV.
Notes and drawing
Timestamped notes that jump back to the moment they refer to, and drawing tools for marking up the video.
Phone video support
Plays common phone and camera formats. If a computer can't decode an iPhone video, the app makes a compatible copy.
Works offline
Analysis needs no internet connection. Videos and race data are stored on your computer and never uploaded.
Review workflow
Each step feeds the report, so there's no separate data entry at the end.
Load the video
Enter the swimmer, event and course. The frame rate is read from the file.
Count strokes
Press a key on each hand entry. Lengths split automatically at each turn.
Mark times
Start light, block, walls and sub-split points, or type the official splits.
Review the report
Splits, tempo, stroke counts and sub-splits, ready to export or compare.
