For a sport like swimming, improving my technique is critical to getting faster. The problem is that, it is very difficult to visualize your own technique, while doing a workout. To fix this issue, I have bought a GoPro Hero 9 camera.
Of course, I will be able to use the camera for a lot more things than filming my swim technique. I can film myself running and biking too. Technique is less critical in these sports, but there are still subtle things that I might see and be able to change.
I am also excited about the possibilities for other video usage. I could add videos to my website. Film workouts to post on Social Media. Maybe even produce some content, to help promote my coaching services. I can also film others and maybe offer services like swim analysis or run form analysis.
Not having had anything like a GoPro Hero 9 before, I am sure that I have a steep learning curve to go up. I guess the internet will help, but there is probably nothing like diving in and learning as I go along. Stay tuned for feedback, as this new part of my journey begins.
