SwimCues is our Mobile version of MONA – a biomechanical model of optimal technique based on science. SwimCues presents visual and kinesthetic cues for the critical positions of all four competitive strokes. SwimCues is an iPhone App and a fast, precise, and objective way to evaluate and adjust swimming technique.
Swiping to the side changes the view: front, side, top, and bottom. There is a play button on the bottom of the screen and single-frame buttons to go forward or backward. At each position within the stroke cycle there are visual and kinesthetic cues to speed up the learning process. The cues give the swimmer specific information (exactly what to see and feel) for positioning and moving the head, arms, and legs.
Olympians are often used as models for performance. Research does show that faster swimmers have more effective technique than slower swimmers, but even the world’s fastest swimmers have technique limitations. We have tested thousands of competitive swimmers, including Olympians from a dozen countries, and have found that every swimmer can make technique changes to swim faster.
For this reason, Dr. Havriluk developed MONA (Modél Optimál NAtación) – a biomechanical model that presents only the positive elements of technique without any limiting factors. (Dr. Havriluk is a biomechanist and the president of STR.)
For just $4.99, you can download the SwimCues app to your iPhone® or iPad® and bring critically important and accurate info about technique to every training session and competition. SwimCues is compatible with iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch®, and require iOS 7.1 or later.
AppStoreMONA is based on the principles of physics, published research on the biomechanics of swimming, and over 25 years of documented findings from Aquanex. MONA is the optimal model of technique because she has all the best technique elements with none of the limitations. Science links include:
