10 guides for your next shoot
Agree on filming positions with the venue and coach before practice. Keep phones dry and outside approaches, landing areas and staff routes; let supervision come first.
Choose useful above-water views of a swim drill.
Poolside Swim Recording: What Above-Water Views Can Show ↗Show the approach, wall and departure in a turn.
Swim Turns: Recording the Approach, Wall and Departure ↗Plan fixed views of a coach-led diving session.
Diving Practice Video: Approved Fixed Views of the Attempt ↗Ask your swim coach which visible part of the stroke they want to discuss. Film that stretch from dry, pool-approved positions, and be clear that a surface view won't show the underwater action.
Read guideKeep enough of the approach, wall and departure in view to explain the turn. Let pool staff choose where equipment can stand, then check how much the saved clip actually shows.
Read guideLet the coach and pool staff choose the filming positions before practice. Aim to show the part of the dive they want to discuss without blocking the board, deck or supervision.
Read guideAsk the coach which part of the vault needs to be seen, then keep equipment outside the runway, apparatus and landing routes. Test the frame before relying on it for a lesson.
Read guideKeep the athlete and the relevant beam area visible through the planned routine section. A steady, wider view can help the lesson more than a moving close-up that loses the apparatus.
Read guideCheck the highest movement and the landing context before you frame a bars segment. Give the coach a view they can use without putting equipment near apparatus access or spotting routes.
Read guideGive each swim example a useful label: the drill, visible lane section and point the coach wants to explain. Keep the teaching purpose clear instead of calling a surface clip a complete stroke model.
Read guideGet a dependable view of the floor routine before thinking about camera cuts. If the gymnast leaves every frame, an edit can't bring the missing movement back.
Read guideAsk the venue where phones can go before choosing an angle. Keep equipment clear of water, apparatus and staff routes, even if a closer position would make a more dramatic picture.
Read guideUse training footage to help the coach explain what happened, and keep official judging separate. A useful private split-screen isn't automatically the evidence an event will accept.
