The Tigershark Video Camera
Tigershark Waterproof Camera

Guide Rating -  

The Tigershark is a multi-sport waterproof camera system, invented and built in Australia – one of the worlds leading swimming nations. Its main application to date has been for high performance swim training. Users include Ken Wood, coach of Geoff Huegil (50m butterfly world record) and Liesel Jones, Doug Frost, coach of Ian Thorpe (200m, 400, 800m free World Records), and Ian Pope, coach of Matt Welsh (200m short course Backstroke World Record ). The Tigershark is the essential tool for swimming coaching. It is an innovative underwater camera and viewer system that gives you the capability to see what is occurring under the water as it happens.

Lightweight, fully self contained, durable, the Tigershark offers many benefits to coaches and athletes alike. The Tigershark allows you to see what is taking place under the water as it happens, instantly improving your ability as a coach to identify areas for improvement. While experienced coaches can use their judgment to guess what is occurring under the surface, the Tigershark ensures that you know exactly what is happening. Take a look at the Federation Peak website for video examples of the camera and its results.

You can easily connect the Tigershark to a video camera, allowing you to record performance and then analyze it at a later date and work through the performance with the athlete. Best, of all you can use the on-board viewer and scrap the video if you like. Some tools can become more of a hindrance than a help if they are overly technical and difficult to understand or utilize. Tigershark has been designed to be simple to use, ensuring that you will want to keep using it time and again. It is also fully portable and lightweight and is easy to assemble and disassemble for traveling.
