This Is Argo Swim Video

Argo Swim Video provides the tools that create faster swimmers and more successful coaches. Using our training system, coaches save time, improve technique, and produce results that matter.

Program Summary

Argo films over 3000 developmental, age-group, senior, masters and collegiate swimmers across North America and now Europe. Proprietary underwater cameras and hi-speed filming of entire teams is coupled with professionally produced teaching videos to provide an effective path to better and faster swimming.

We Film Your Swimmers

We film your swimmers two times per year, during practice, with minimal disruption, at a rate of 20 swimmers per hour. Alternately, you may set up a special “filming day” on a weekend. All of our programs use a 2-visit approach to the year giving Coaches and athletes fresh video once every few months.

Using an edge lane, your ASV film tech rolls along with each swimmer, recording HD video from both above and below water simultaneously. Swimmers are encouraged to swim at race pace in order to gain maximum learning benefit from fatigue-induced stroke errors.

We Provide Expert Voiceover

After on-site filming is completed, one of our exert commentators provides voiceover and graphic feedback on your swimmer’s technique. These visuals provide key insights that will help your swimmers improve their speed, timing, confidence, and overall skill in the water. Your swimmers will be able to study the videos over and over as much as they like in order to get the maximum benefit and see their gains over time.

What Others Are Saying

“We had the great fortune to have Brad Hopkins and Argo Swim Video at our pool in September. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the video, the efficiency of the process (100+ swimmers in one day), and the service offered by Brad’s staff. This is unquestionably the best way for coaches, swimmers, and parents to view an athlete’s stroke with both over and underwater views. What we did not expect was the extraordinary job done by Argo’s expert coaches. They evaluated each stroke, for every swimmer, with voice overlay and telestration for stroke inefficiencies. While we, as coaches, are hesitant to have outside coaches comment on swimmers in our program, every correction was on point and expertly delivered. We could not imagine a better product or service to assist with technical development. We strongly recommend Brad and Argo Swim Video to any competitive team. A big thank you to Brad and his exceptional staff.”

Highly recommended service. My kid’s coaches wanted to use Argo Swim Video, and I’m so glad they did. The coaches and swimmers loved it - crystal clear video, great engagement from the swimmers, great service. I loved getting to watch my kids on video and having the video on my phone. The pricing was excellent too. I’m sure that it’ll result in faster times for the kids and that we’ll be using the service again soon. Thanks Argo!read more

This is my son’s first swim video and we both find it to be very insightful and helpful. We see things in his strokes that we didn’t realize he was doing (or not doing whatever the case may be). This video seems to be very useful in helping to refine and improve his strokes and overall technique. Very helpful and well shot. Thank you!read more

Brad is a pleasure to work with, while the underwater swim video he & his team produce is absolutely stunning. These kids (& coaches) are getting an unparalleled perspective of their own swim form that will benefit them for years to come.

The Argo team is an absolute pleasure to work with. They're thorough in their service, film with enthusiasm, and respond quickly to customer concerns. I recommend them to any club looking to integrate over/underwater film into an existing practice routine.

It's been a pleasure to work with Argo Video for a year now. They utilize time well, with a great product and with great people working for them. If there is a mix up of any kind they are super responsive and accommodating. I would recommend utilizing what they bring to the table to any team or person out there that is looking for a tool that can help enhance their skill development in the water! Keep it up!

I want to tell you how happy we are with Argo Swim Video. The video quality is excellent and I have reviewed every swimmer's original video with them, above and below water, with impressive results. Now, I am almost finished viewing all the videos with the Argo Swim coach analysis. I find the reviews positive, concise and relevant. The technical recommendations are right on the mark. The use of the lines, arrows and circle graphics are interesting and instructive. I also like the way the reviewers use the swimmers name...a nice personal touch.One of the woman reviewers has such a sweet and positive tone with my young swimmers that it is a pleasure to hear her comments, for the swimmers and coach alike.I am very interested in planning our next session with Argo Swim Video.

As a Swim Coach, Argo has provided a tool to better understand the strokes of my swimmers. I have learned to better articulate corrections and improvements as well as understand imbalances in strength and coordination. Whether it is a group of swimmers or working individually with the athlete, the quality and perspective of the videos are captivating. These videos have elevated the swimming experience for my swimmers as well as myself, while providing a timeline of improvement over the course of the season.
