This study investigates whether eo SwimBetter can differentiate the efficiency and stroke pattern between elite and non-elite swimmer. The subjects are a three-time Olympian and USA Masters registered swimmers during a 50-meter backstroke while using the 3D accelerometer. We find the eo SwimBetter is able to differentiate between an elite swimmer and novice level Masters swimmer. In addition to a stopwatch, the eo SwimBetter provides swimmer sam coaches with an additional measurement tool to effectively measure swim performance.
