The program was facilitated by Mentor Coach Bernie Mulroy and ASAOC Development Officer Sara Levien.
Athletes nominated two strokes to be filmed underwater by Biomechanist Jay Davies. The footage was displayed on pool deck using the WAIS immediate swimming feedback system. This allowed the Athletes and their Coaches the benefit of instant feedback given by Bernie Mulroy and invited Development Squad Camp Head Coach, Paul Birch.

Mandurah Swimming Club | Jemma Hawkins |
