Last month, BigVoice Media Group was contracted by Swimming Australia as the host production for the 2021 Australian Swimming Championships & 2021 Australian Age Swimming Championships streamed live to Amazon Prime Video. Held at Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, in Queensland, Australia, the entire event was held outside – forcing BigVoice Media Group to confront challenging weather conditions throughout.
“Swimming is one of those interesting sports where rain doesn’t come into it – the athletes are going to get wet regardless,†says BigVoice Media Group co-founder Kristian Shepherd. “So as a production we needed to have cameras that could work no matter the conditions – rain or no rain.â€
The event ran for 13 days – both day and night sessions – and there was constant rain day and night across the opening three days of the Australian Age event. The event would only be suspended if there was severe lighting or dangerous weather in the vicinity of the pool. With that in mind, Shepherd and company enlisted BirdDog A200 weatherproof PTZ and P200 PTZ cameras, which allowed the production to go on without any stoppages.
“With the Image quality plus the rain wiper, anti-fog, and water resistance, the A200’s ticked all the boxes we were looking for when approaching this type of outdoor production,†says Shepherd.

Freestyle Swim Technique – How to Pull Correctly | The Race Club
One of the often discussed controversies in freestyle concerns the pull. Where is the pull in freestyle the strongest? Is it in the front quadrant, ahead of the swimmer’s shoulder? Is it in the back quadrant, behind the swimmer’s shoulder? Or is the pull strongest right at the swimmer’s shoulder, as he or she moves the hand backward?
In this week’s video, we feature two elite freestylers, Zane Grothe and Margo Geer. Zane is a distance freestyler and uses a higher elbow pulling motion, reducing frontal drag. Margo is a sprinter and uses a deeper pulling motion, opting for more power and drag.
The testing we do in this video using the Pressure Meter confirms that Margo is able to generate more force with her deeper pull than Zane does with a higher elbow pulling motion. The video also shows a correlation between Margo’s faster body rotation and her greater pulling force.
This video will help you determine the type of pulling biomechanics you should use for each freestyle race. It will also illustrate how important your body rotation is in developing a faster swim.
