What is SwimLab?
SwimLab is a web-based video analysis platform built specifically for swimming coaches. Upload competition or practice footage, annotate key moments, measure splits automatically, and compare athletes side-by-side — all without leaving your browser.
Key capabilities:

- Splits — SwimLab calculates lap and segment times from your markers automatically
- Comparison — overlay two swimmers frame-by-frame to spot technique differences
- Video Trim — extract short clips to share with athletes or parents
- Export — download split tables and annotated clips for reporting
