THINK Magazine: AI and Wearables Transforming Performance

Image
THINK Magazine has featured us! They highlighted how our DIVE team at the University of Malta is using AI and affordable wearables to transform swimming performance analysis. We collect video and sensor data from swimmers and use AI to break down each phase of the swim—start, stroke, turn, and finish—giving coaches and athletes detailed feedback on technique and efficiency. Our aim is to make advanced and accessible feedback available to all swimmers and coaches, empowering them with actionable insights to improve performance. Click here to see the full article.

ASA Easter Meets

Image
Some of you may have noticed the DIVE setup poolside during the ASA Easter Meets 🏊‍♂️📹. We're working on ways to use AI to analyse swimmer movement — stroke symmetry, alignment, turn performance, and more. It's still early days, and we’re deep in the research phase, but it was encouraging to see so much interest from coaches and swimmers. Back from the meet with plenty to reflect on. These conversations reminded me just how valuable this could become, especially for younger athletes learning to understand their own stroke. Thanks to everyone who came over to chat and to the Aquatic Sports Association of Malta for the opportunity 🙏. #DIVEproject #SwimmingResearch #AIinSport #Biomechanics #SwimSmart #StrokeAnalysis #YouthSport #MaltaSwim #ASAeastermeets #SportsTech
