Abstract

A training system for assisting a coach to train a swimmer, including a swimmer side system and a coach side system electronically communicated. The swimmer wears a head- gear which includes a swimmer's data collection kit (SWDCK) which includes in turn sensors, a processor and a transceiver. A display for the swimmer is attached to a head belt or to goggles. A speaker for transferring audible information to the swimmer is typically a bone conduction speaker. A control module is operated by the coach, which includes a transmitter for communicating with the swimmer worn head- gear, a computer and a display and software.
