  • Abstract
    An overview of the development of a wireless sensor network (WSN) used to monitor swimmers performance is presented in this paper. The WSN is based on the functional and non-functional requirements of the user. It has been designed to monitor multiple swimmers performance simultaneously, providing feedback to the coaches and swimmers in real-time. The effect the embedded real-time processing has on available bandwidth in the network is discussed.
