Filming NVSL Meets, Best Practices?

[Anonymous]

Had a few parents and swimmers ask our coaches if there was a way for us to film meets so that they could go back and watch tape.

Does anyone do this and if so, any tips on what type of equipment to use or how to organize the film in some sort of accessible but private drive? Not looking to do livestreams nor do we want to post anywhere on social media

I have never heard of filming an entire swim meet. That is just crazy. Record you kid, sure if you want to look for something, but the entire meet?

Ugh, don’t do it. That will just foment uber competitiveness and get parents to over analyze and compare children that aren’t theirs. None of that is conducive to a supportive or fun experience.

I would tell the parents to film their own kid.

Our team has someone who films the whole meet and has for years. We compete against several who do also so I’m surprised to hear it’s a big deal. We are a mid level division.
