So ... a low-tech option perhaps. My mother was considering getting one of those endless pools that generate a current for you to swim against, but she ended up not going for it. Price tag aside, it just seemed like overkill and a hassle to maintain. She got one of those round above ground pools. Tied one end of a bungee cord to a post close to her house and the other end she clips on to a belt she wears when swimming and proceeds to swim away for as long as she wants.

The Apple Watch is waterproof, but while it can track your swim in terms of the workout, it doesn't have a camera and even if it did there is no software which would translate anything it sees into what Karuna wants. In any case, if you have the watch on your wrist it's mostly submerged and always moving and certainly it's not pointing straight ahead of you. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Carolyn Arnold Sent: Friday, March 29, 2019 6:39 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?

Hi, II to keep this on topic, I will say that I do not know of any I phone aps that would help. Maybe, aira, but that could get costly in a hurry!! I like to swim too and am totally blind. Putting in tactual lane lines is about the easiest way to keep you from bumping in to other swimmers, if you have a lane to yourself. In some settings, I have seen a concept of circle swim. I tried it once, with a lifeguard trying to help me pace. I felt like I was in a contact sport. So, finally got that facility to arrange so that I either had the lane to myself, or was only sharing with one person. Each of us would stay on one side of the lane. So, if the lane line would be on your left going down, it would be on your right as you returned. Hope that helps. -Original Message- From: karuna Chopra Sent: Friday, March 29, 2019 12:45 AM To: ViPhone Subject: Swimming pool collision avoidance system? I really enjoy and love swimming. I go swimming to my club where there is a 50 meter pool. Are usually try and go went there at the least number of people using the swimming pool. The swimming pool is 50 m long and 25 m wide with no lanes marked on it. Are usually swim very straight. If there is only one other swimmer in the pool, I have no problems in avoiding them. The problem arises when two or more other swimmers enter the pool. I am petrified of swimming either into them or having a head-on collision with them! When I have a buddy outside by the side of the pool, I would put on my AirPods and tape them to my year with waterproof tape. I would stay connected to my friends iPhone and he would pass instructions on who was swimming in front or behind me. Unfortunately I can’t have this arrangement all the time. Has anybody ever felt this problem? Is there some way that I can use to avoid colliding into anyone in the swimming pool without external help? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

RE: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?
Hello Karuna, You wrote: I’m sure there must be some solution for my problem. I’m sure other people must be facing this problem as well. Honestly, I am sure blind people go swimming, I do swim in our local community pool mostly in the winter, but since they have lane swimming twice a day for an hour or so it's not usually an issue for me and, as I said, if I called ahead and asked to come in during a more quiet time when there aren't any school groups, swimming club or other lessons they would put in a lane for me no problem. Does a public pool exist which doesn't have the rope with the round floaty things on it which they can stretch from end to end? This really is not a difficult thing to do and especially if I paid a good amount of money for access to this pool I would simply make an issue out of this if they weren't willing to accommodate me. Just out of curiosity, how many times do you go each week and for how long do you swim? You also wrote: Can I mount a camera on my forehead, wear a helmet with a camera on it which would then worn me if something is coming in front? There are of course the action cameras like a Go Pro which are waterproof and so on, but the technology you envision simply does not exist and I doubt it ever will considering how many blind people would want it. I'm surprised what you described earlier works, i.e. taping your Airpods to your ears, I think they would still get wet and I didn't know they were waterproof to the point they can be submerged. Of course there are other waterproof headsets out there, but you would still need somebody who watches you all the time and who has some sort of connection to your Bluetooth headset so he can talk to you while you swim. I downhill ski and have a set of radios which have a headset and allow for a full duplex connection so you can talk and hear at the same time just as on a phone call, but they are not waterproof. Of course for skiing nowadays one could easily use a cell phone and a helmet with built-in Bluetooth speakers as long as the ski area where you ski has cell coverage on all the runs. In the pool you could achieve something similar if you had an LTE Apple Watch and a waterproof headset, you could then simply ask a sighted person to call you and once you pick up the call you could start swimming and get instructions from your sighted helper, but they would have to be at one end of the pool where they could watch you and the other people. My final question is this: What would happen if you swam along one edge of the pool so you have the edge as a reference and you could ask the lifeguard to let people know that you are a blind swimmer and not to get in your way?

Hi, II to keep this on topic, I will say that I do not know of any I phone aps that would help. Maybe, aira, but that could get costly in a hurry!! I like to swim too and am totally blind. Putting in tactual lane lines is about the easiest way to keep you from bumping in to other swimmers, if you have a lane to yourself. In some settings, I have seen a concept of circle swim. I tried it once, with a lifeguard trying to help me pace. I felt like I was in a contact sport. So, finally got that facility to arrange so that I either had the lane to myself, or was only sharing with one person. Each of us would stay on one side of the lane.

RE: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?
Couldn't you ask for a lane to be put in? I find it strange that there is no lane swimming during certain times of the day, but I would certainly not hesitate to ask, it wouldn't take away from the pool experience of others if they put in one single lane along one side of the pool for you. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of karuna Chopra Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2019 9:45 PM To: ViPhone Subject: Swimming pool collision avoidance system?
