Key Words: wake, sculling, undulatory, flow visualization, Strouhal number.Īs we walk along concrete city sidewalks, over gravel paths, or across tiled building lobbies, we are continuously exposed through our footsteps to highly structured information about the ground, through the feelings we experience and the sounds we hear. New and attractive ideas are emerging: the possible use by the swimmer to his advantage of the vorticity if it is produced by an external source, such as the environment, another swimmer or the re-use of his own vortices during the stroke or after the turn will be topics for research in the near future.

The development of flexible and portable laser systems such as the recently incorporating fiber optics and fiberscopes, will enable the applicability of PIV in real swimming conditions to quantify the wake momentum and vorticity. The analysis of vortices generated and 3D analysis of the pulling path seems the most adequate method to develop a new understanding of swimming propulsion. Simple propulsive actions will be analyzed combining the kinematic analysis with the flow visualization: underwater undulatory swimming and sculling propulsion. A compilation of flow visualization methods applied in human swimming research is presented. We had a slight technical hitch but he sorted it swiftly.The purpose will be to describe the different methods applied in swimming research to visualize and understand water movements around the propulsive limbs and their application to improving swimming technique. Joe was very knowledgeable and was incredible positive towards the children. The children (and staff) absolutely loved it! They were fascinated by what they saw and our Tour Leader was extremely knowledge able and really enthusiastic, which the children loved! Alison Richardson – Allenton Community Primary School (Derby) – Year 4 teacher Really amazing experience! Alice Gowans – Haberdashers Askes Hatcham College (London ) – Year 7 teacher

Was a lovely learning atmosphere and made the students smile and laugh. Really great interactive session – Joe allowed the students to ask questions throughout the tour. Want more?
