Individual swimming analysis

For its analysis, 3SL-Sports uses the demonstration pool of the specialist swimming pool retailer Bos Zwembaden from Twello. The 5 m x 2.5 m pool has a glass wall on one side, which gives the experts an optimal view of their customers’ swimming technique. The highlight, however, is the turbine driven counterflow system HydroStar BGA 550 from BINDER, located on the front side of the pool: on its highest setting, it generates a flow rate of 550 m³ per hour, which feels like the current in a river. The performance of the counter-current system can be precisely adjusted to individual preference via remote control, app or piezo switch. “This is practical, because our swimmers have a broad spectrum of training levels,” explains Lieke Hegeman. “HydroStar allows each customer to swim at a speed they are comfortable with.” The professional athlete is also impressed by the adjustable height function of the turbine driven counter-flow system: “This allows us to optimally direct the flow for athletes who swim higher in the water.” The double turbine offers an additional advantage: its broad flow rate always keeps swimmers in place and ensures that they are not constantly trying to maintain their balance.
