    I have been tried to monitor of the hand acceleration in swimming strokes
    these two years. I know one developer who manufacture the underwater
    accelerometer. It' name is "Bruel and Kjar" in Denmark. URL is www.bk.dk.
    Please check it. But they make only single axis underwater accelerometer.
    So, we have been developed underwater accelerometer device by ourselves. We
    use ADXL250 which is bi-axes accelerometer IC chip. And we have used it in
    our recent study which will be presented at next years sports engineering
    conference in Sydney. Please look our custom made device,

    The company who developed the technology is SPINOUT Corp, Ibaraki,
    Japan.

    Further investigation will continue in looking into these
    suggestions.
