The StreamliNZ Swimming Flume may be used for a range of 
Biomechanical, Physiological and Therapeutic applications, including:

• Biomechanical analysis of Swimming Technique using Video Motion-Analysis.
• Physiological Responses of Swimmers from Elite Athletes to Deconditioned Patients
• Water Exercise Therapy for special patient populations
• Research on human activity in Thermally Neutral Conditions or in conditions of Neutral Buoyancy

The StreamliNZ Flume has been carefully designed to provide steady uniform flow throughout its speed range, while attenuating waves arising from the movement of bodies in the flow.
Safety of swimmers is a prime concern, and a safety net is provided that operates a fail-safe emergency stop.
Chlorine-free water treatment is provided to maintain the quality and clarity of the water.
StreamliNZ will design, fabricate and install a flume, sized and specified to provide optimal performance in your application. Contact us for more information.
