The AI

A technical coach in your pocket.

One phone clip of one length. Twenty-plus stroke metrics. No lab, no sensors, no coach required on the deck. This is the engine that finds what the eye can't.

01 / Inside the engine
Pose estimation maps a swimmer's body frame by frame, measuring what a technical coach would watch for from the wall.

Lane 9's computer-vision engine tracks stroke rate, distance per stroke, body roll, kick timing, breathing symmetry and turn speed — from a single video shot on any phone.

The analysis runs on your device, built for country bandwidth. Raw video never has to leave the phone — only the metrics do, and only with parental consent.

Every report comes back in plain English: what's working, what's costing you time, and the three drills to do before your next upload.

Stroke mechanics, measured

Pose estimation tracks your body position through every stroke cycle and compares it against tier benchmarks for your age and event.

Runs on your phone

No heavy uploads and no 4G drama. The vision model is built to work at a 25-metre council pool with one bar of signal.

Plain-English reports

No jargon dumps. Each analysis tells you the single biggest thing to fix and the drills that fix it.

A human checkpoint

The AI flags the signal; a real coach makes the call. No swimmer enters a pathway conversation off an algorithm alone.

How it works.

01

Scan the QR code on your local council pool, or upload a single 50-metre clip from your phone. The AI runs on your device — no 4G drama, no heavy uploads.

Upload one length.

02

Our AI extracts your stroke biomechanics and generates a Potential Score, a technical report, and a drill library. If the signal is strong, a scout meeting is booked.

Meet the scout online.

03

Track your Potential Score month to month. Graduate tiers. Get visible to schools, academies, and state pathway bodies — but only if you choose to.

Climb your own lane.

03 / The Potential Score

A score that keeps you climbing.

Most swimming scores rank you against the world record. For a fourteen-year-old in Roma, that's a dream-killer dressed up as maths.

Our Potential Score ranks you against the next mountain you can actually climb — your club benchmark, then your regional time, then your state qualifying time, and so on. Each tier has a floor. Bad swims can't take it away. Every length moves the needle.

Time is 45% of it. AI-measured technical efficiency is 35%. Your 90-day improvement trajectory is 20%. A natural with raw power and messy technique lights up on our dashboard just as much as a polished club swimmer — which is exactly the point.
