My groupmates and I are students in an entrepreneur class at Lehigh University. We have been tasked with exploring an issue and coming up with a solution. We chose D1 swimming.

Our solution is a wearable, waterproof communication device that swimmers can attach to their goggles. Coaches can communicate feedback through either a walkie talkie or app. The swimmer will be able to correct their mistake in real-time, and this will eliminate the need of coaches yelling from above water. We are marketing this device more towards D1 swim coaches/trainers/schools.

Does anyone have any suggestions or insights on these following topics:

• Feature that our device should have
• If you personally believe this product would benefit yourself or the target market
• A pitfall of a current solution (such as Finis Swim Coach Communicator or Sonr)
• A problem a swimmer faces currently in the pool when it comes to receiving feedback from their coaches
• A problem a coach faces currently in the pool when it comes to giving feedback to their swimmers
• Any first-hand experience/stories people would like to share
• Any other relevant insights

You do not need to be a coach or a swimmer to give your insight. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you!!

I am a freshman swimming for a D3 school. My goal is to improve my times and transfer to a different division 3 school. What is the timeline like for transfers? Incoming freshmen are usually recruited in the summer/fall before their senior year, what is it like for transfers? Any help would be appreciated.

How does College recruiting works.. my daughter is a freshman in High School. we were approached by NCSA and the service seems pricey due to many things available are things we can do ourselves does anyone have any experience of how College recruiting works and or this company any feedback will be appreciated

Anyone have a resource that describes active coaches styles? I'm interested in coaches that may be applying highe intensity, shorter duration workouts vs high lap count. Iv'e heard of a modern workout technique where 10 repeats of the best time you can hold is the primary driver for your strongest event.

My question is pretty much summed up in the title. Unfortunately my school only has clubs for swimming such as log rolling and a general non-competitive swim club. I am very passionate about swimming and I know a lot of other students at my VERY large college must be good swimmers who are also interested. I was just wondering if there was any way I could approach the school for adding this to their sports agenda?
