Abstract
This research aims to make sensor-based blind swimming aids that can be used during swimming training. This research uses qualitative approach. The data collection as conducted through observation, questioner, interview, and documentation. The research and development procedure carried out were the Borg and Gall models which consisted of 10 steps namely: (1) research and information gathering, (2) planning, (3) develop the initial form of the product, (4) initial field test (5) main product revisions, (6) main product field test, (7) operational product revisions, (8) operational field test, (9) final product revision, (10) dissemination and implementation. Development of sensor-based blind swimming aids can be used to training of motion skill, safe and comfortable, and can improve training results. After carried out research can be concluded that: (1) sensor-based blind swimming aids development product can be used for training of motion skill for blind swimming athletes, (2) sensor-based blind swimming aids development product effectively improve the results of swimming skills training.
