Swimming app -- swim stroke analysis

Now, that the newest devices and SDK exposes Gyro data i think it would be pretty straightforward to design an app that:

* tacks hand movement while swimming better (lap count, style detection)

* records hand/arm position, placement and orientation for future stroke analysis (do I overextend freestyle movements, do I enter my hand in parallel to the water, etc.)

I don't own a device that supports new features -- like Fenix 7 (and the emulator doesn't seem to support it, either) so it is hard for me to try out the idea...

Has anybody experimented with that?

Regards,

my fenix6 detects the swim style and displays it in the default pool swimming activity datafield

Thanks for this answer. I believe some "swim style detection" is already in place. On the other hand, using Gyro/Accellometer to work on the swimming technique -- do I lead the hand right, does it go into the water properly (proper angle, so it doesn't make too resistance -- could be useful.
