A system and method for training swimmers in a controlled aquatic environment, such as a pool, the system comprising a base station in communication with various system components. The base station receives pertinent data from the swimmer through direct wiring detecting a contact with the pool (i.e. the completion of a lap) or through wireless communication. The base station can include an accelerometer-based touch pad for detecting contact of a swimmer with the pool wall. The base station can alternatively include an optical transceiver for transmitting and receiving swimmer data. The swimmers can be equipped with a finger tapper and a toe tapper for determining lap times and sending the relevant information to the base station. The training system can also include an underwater display for providing relevant information to a swimmer within a pool and an underwater video camera for recording video footage of swimmers.
