The Dartmouth University swim team has purchased a swim spa to enhance training in anticipation of their upcoming season, which opens November 10.

Inside a compact swimming area, a powerful, custom-made 24” wide and 21” deep current tests Big Green head coach Jim Wilson’s team. With the help of underwater cameras and mirrors, Wilson and his swimmers can instantly analyze technique.

Within a few short weeks, Wilson saw Dartmouth’s purchase payoff, as the pool became a vital training tool for the team, allowing for immediate adjustment and reinforcement while in the water.

“As a coach, it’s easy to pick up on hand entry and body position while they are swimming in front of you,” said Wilson. “The team loves being able to get in and see different parts of their stroke. As a result, they feel more confident in the water.”

Coming off a season in which Dartmouth posted its best record in the past 30 years, the Ivy League school aims to make an even bigger splash in 2012.

“We hope to do better within our league, and swimming faster is the way we’ll be able to achieve that. Stroke technique is crucial in achieving that goal,” said coach Wilson.

Premier swim programs such as Auburn, Harvard, Indiana, and Kentucky have already realized the benefits of the swim machines, as Dartmouth added its name to an impressive, growing list. Come by and test one out , The Above Ground Pool & Spa Company, San Antonio, Texas.
