## What is SST Stopwatch?

REQUIRES A SUPERIOR SWIM TIMING SYSTEM

This app is the lane timer for the Superior Swim Timing (SST) timing system. It works only with the SST console application - it is not compatible with Colorado, Daktronics, Omega or any other timing system. If your pool does not run SST, this app cannot connect to your equipment.

Without an SST console it still works as a plain manual stopwatch, but the features below need one.

WHAT IT DOES

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a wireless lane timer, with every time flowing straight into the SST console. Why spend money on finicky standalone stopwatches that run through batteries and give the timer no useful information?

The app finds the SST console automatically on your pool's network - no addresses to type in, no pairing. Once the console assigns the device to a lane, the timer sees the lane and watch assignment on screen along with the event, the swimmer's name and the number of lengths. Every manual and automatic time is transmitted straight back to the console. No paper slips, no shouting times across the deck.

BUILT FOR THE POOL DECK
- Large, high-contrast buttons that work with wet hands
- Clear timing display readable at arm's length
- Lap splits for multi-length events
- Reset requires a deliberate long press, so a stray tap cannot wipe a time
- The screen stays awake through a heat
- Battery level is reported to the console, so the timing operator can see which devices need attention

HARDWARE BUTTONS
Connect a USB or Bluetooth button device or keyboard and drive start, stop, lap and reset without touching the screen - useful for timers who prefer a physical button.

AVAILABLE IN FIVE LANGUAGES
English, Spanish, Portuguese, German and French. The app follows your device language automatically.

WITHOUT A CONSOLE
No SST console on the network? The app runs as a straightforward manual stopwatch with start, lap and stop. Nothing to configure and nothing to sign in to - but it cannot send times anywhere.

## Frequently asked questions about SST Stopwatch

### Does SST Stopwatch work with other swim timing systems like Colorado or Daktronics?

No, SST Stopwatch is exclusively designed for the Superior Swim Timing (SST) system. It is not compatible with Colorado, Daktronics, Omega, or any other timing systems. Using it without an SST console will limit its functionality to a basic manual stopwatch.

### How does SST Stopwatch connect to the SST console?

The app automatically finds the SST console on your pool's network, eliminating the need to manually enter addresses or pair devices. Once connected, the console assigns the device to a lane, and the timer displays relevant event and swimmer information.

### What features are available when SST Stopwatch is used without an SST console?

Without an SST console, SST Stopwatch functions as a straightforward manual stopwatch. You can use its start, lap, and stop functions. However, it will not be able to send times anywhere or utilize its advanced lane timing features.

### Can I use a physical button with SST Stopwatch?

Yes, SST Stopwatch supports connecting a USB or Bluetooth button device or keyboard. This allows timers to control start, stop, lap, and reset functions without needing to touch the screen, which is useful for those who prefer physical buttons.

### How does SST Stopwatch handle multi-length events?

For multi-length events, SST Stopwatch provides lap splits. This feature allows timers to accurately record and track split times for each length of a swimmer's race, contributing to more detailed performance analysis.

### Is SST Stopwatch available in multiple languages?

Yes, SST Stopwatch is available in five languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French. The app automatically adjusts to your device's language settings, making it accessible to a wider range of users.
