Abstract :
Performance analysis is essential for the ongoing development of elite swimmers. Current methods of analysis do not provide the coach with an accurate system for determining a swimmer´s position. This research was conducted to allow transmission, processing and presentation of the swimmer´s attitude, velocity and position. A Kalman filter was integrated into a wireless system to track these parameters.
