What is a relatively inexpensive? Device setup that I could recommend for young coaches, who wanted to see their athletes swim underwater. I reckon today, everybody has their iPhones and their Android devices which have Incredible video capabilities. The major water housing companies on the market today, have incredible water. Housings for your iPhones or Androids that you can actually have touch screen. You could dive down underwater, you could film your athletes while there. In their swimming or backtracking, or whatever they're doing, and then easily bring it to the surface and go over with the athlete to pin. It fix out any finer points. And then if it's needs to be done again, he'd go back down, do it again. This stuff's all instance is probably better than some of the smaller cameras that you, you need to go back to your computer to download or anything like those, because you can see it, instantly. Delete it redo it again. And keep moving on. I reckon it's a fast way and probably a really good setup for most young coaches.

Inexpensive setups, for coaches to see the athletes swim underwater. I'd probably recommend it access go, which is a housing from AquaTech. Which takes your iPhone's? I don't know which models. They take probably from seven to all the way up. I've used it in the past for doing a bit of video in the water and great quality or maybe just a GoPro simple setups point and shoot,
