1. A method for instantly informing a swimmer during swimming of the effects of chances in his form and/or movement on his speed comprising the steps of:
- rotating at least one magnet worn by a swimmer to generate patterns of signals which are indicative of whether said changes have increased or decreased the speed of said swimmer;
processing said patterns of signals to display on a visual display worn by said swimmer information which varies in a manner which is indicative of said changes in said speed of said swimmer; and
instantly displaying said information on said display worn by said swimmer to instantly inform said swimmer during swimming of whether said changes have increased or decreased his speed.

Abstract
A training method with a visual display for a swimmer. A compact apparatus is mounted on a mid-portion of a swimmer for generating a fluctuating signal which varies in frequency according to the speed of the swimmer. The swimmer changes his form and/or movement to vary the frequency of the signal. The signal is processed to produce a fluctuating visual signal which is communicated by a visual display to the swimmer to immediately inform him whether the change in form or movement has increased or decreased his speed.

15. A method for instantly informing a swimmer during swimming of the effects of changes in his form and/or movement on his speed comprising the steps of:
- mounting a portable apparatus on a mid-portion of a swimmer for generating signals which are indicative of changes in said speed of said swimmer;
swimming with said apparatus to rotate said apparatus to generate said signals;
changing said swimmer'"'"'s form or movement to generate said signals;
processing said signals to generate signals which vary directly in frequency with said speed of said swimmer; and
instantly communicating said fluctuating visual signals to said swimmer to immediately inform him whether his speed has increased or decreased.
