    This case study aims to optimize the performance of a swimmer by finding the levels of significant factors that allow the swimmer to complete 25 meters in the least amount of time. The experimental factors considered are time of day (morning or afternoon), food intake (before or after swimming), and starting end of the pool (deep or far). The swimmer's style (free style) and water temperature are controlled. The response variable is the time taken to complete 25 meters. The study involves conducting experiments with different combinations of the factor levels and measuring the response variable.

    Case- “Optimizing the Performance of a Swimmer”


    Four times Olympic Champion Alex said “if you want to be a better swimmer, then
    swim”. Then, “How should one practice?” would be the obvious next question. In this
    study, we have tried to find an answer to this question by means of an experimental
    analysis.
    Performance of a swimmer is measured by the time taken by him to complete a particular
    distance. Our objective was to find out what factors affect the performance of a
    particular swimmer. We wanted to find the levels of these significant factors at which the
    swimmer takes the least time to complete swimming a particular distance. For our
    experiment, we chose the distance to be 25 meters. This particular distance of 25 meters
    was chosen because the experiment was performed in the Terrace Apartments swimming
    pool and the length of the pool was 25 meters. First of all, the pre-experimental analysis
    was done. We stated our problem, choose the factors, their levels and ranges and we
    selected the response (output) variable. After talking to a few people who practiced
    swimming regularly, it was observed that time of the day (morning or afternoon)
    influences performance of swimming. Taking food before or after swimming may also
    influence performance. The swimming pool, obviously, has two ends. The end that is
    deeper (about 8 meters usually) is called “Deep End” and the end that is not deep and is
    usually just one meter deep is said to be the “Far End”. The swimmer may either choose
    to start from either the deep end or the far end.
    The swimmer may wear a swimming trunk and goggles for comfort or he may just wear
    some casual shorts. But we are not interested in this factor. This factor is controlled
    during experiment, and fixed. A heater controls the temperature of the water in the pool
    and so the experiment is conducted when the swimmer swam in the water at a constant
    temperature. The swimmer that we have selected can swim only in the “free style” way of
    swimming. So the entire experiment is conducted when the swimmer swims in “Free
    Style”. After noting down the time taken by the swimmer to swim for one end to the
    other for any particular treatment combination, he was allowed to rest for 15 minutes to
    regain the normal heart beat. Then the second reading was taken under same treatment
    combination. The whole experiment is restricted for a particular swimmer under
    investigation.

    Can you recognize the problem statement, objective of the case study, identify
    experimental (design) factors, control factors, nuisance factor, response variable, and
    levels of all control factors?
