Swimming Australia is set to implement artificial intelligence technology in training pools across the country to enhance athlete performance in preparation for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.

Since 2019, the organization has partnered with AWS, significantly boosting their technological capabilities for training.

A cornerstone of this initiative is the Sparta race analysis system, which employs computer vision and machine learning to track individual swimmer metrics in real-time.

Sparta collects data on various swimmer metrics such as stroke rate, breath, distance per stroke, and velocity, which is then stored in a data lake for analysis.

Additionally, the Lane Four app, developed in collaboration with AWS, provides coaches with instant access to athlete data, facilitating real-time performance tracking and immediate adjustments.

The organization aims to reduce race analysis processing time from 30 minutes to immediate feedback for coaches, adopting a 'Formula 1 garage' approach to enhance decision-making.

This immediate access to race metrics allows for real-time discussions between coaches and athletes, ultimately improving the coaching process.

Moreover, Swimming Australia has developed a relay app that predicts opponents' team selections, swimming order, and expected times, optimizing their relay strategies.

The shift from group training to more individualized training has been made possible through deeper insights into swimmer performance, facilitated by cloud computing.

The Relay App has played a crucial role in helping Australia break world records and secure medals in multiple relay events at the Tokyo and Paris Games.

With a goal to surpass the United States in medal counts, Swimming Australia aims to build on their success from the Paris Olympics, where they secured seven gold medals.

Looking ahead, the organization is determined to top the swimming medal table at the LA 2028 Summer Olympics, leveraging these advanced technologies to gain a competitive edge.
