SWIM-360 Multimodal Explainable AI for Holistic Swim Optimisation
For Swimmers and Coaches
Swim-360 aims to help swimmers by combining video analysis and real-time biometric data for
personalised insights.
An Innovative Approach
SWIM-360 integrates video analysis with real-time sensor data, to offer a more precise
performance assessment. In addition, SWIM-360 will implement an explainable AI to provide a more
transparent and clear justification for the injury prediction and training recommendations.
Benefit for Swimmers
SWIM-360 combines real-time video analysis with biometric sensor data to optimise stroke
mechanics and identify potential strain patterns, delivering data-driven feedback that targets
both improved performance and training safety.
Our Aim
SWIM-360 aims to make AI-powered analysis accessible to all swimmers, combining research
excellence with practical application.
Duration
From November 2024 to October 2026.
