Swim Stopwatch is an app created for swim coaches by a high school swim coach. The intent is to solve problems associated with timing multiple swimmers/relays in the pool at one time. Swim Stopwatch's unique and original layout allows a single coach to time all of their swimmers while also freeing them up to focus on the race and not their watch. All you need to do is hit the large button which creates individual split boxes for each split time. You watch the race and hit the button whenever you need a split, then while swimmers are swimming their next leg you take a short moment to drag their split time to the appropriate lane and split number. Swim Stopwatch will calculate the split and cumulative times for you so that you don't have to do any math. * Universal App - 3 lanes on screen at a time on iPhone, 6 lanes on iPad ## Key features - Time multiple swimmers/relays - Individual split boxes - Automatic split time calculation - Automatic cumulative time calculation - Drag-and-drop lane assignment - Universal app support (iPhone/iPad) ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Race Saving and Recall | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 33) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/swim-stopwatch/id597192218/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Great App! *2023-07-05* As a high school coach, this app is great. I can run my system6 and actually coach at the same time. The kids can use it and help me out as well. It makes doing math so simple / because it does it for you. There are occasional bugs and I can’t quite figure out how to pre-log and save events - but it’s way better than using 3 stopwatches at the same time. ### 2/5 — No information *2022-12-22, version 2.1.1* When you tap information for assistance it is empty. I am trying to save the info to be able to email but when you stop click and leave screen everything disappears? It has the makings of a great tool when doing test sets especially when coaching on your own with multiple kids. ### 5/5 — PE/Sport teacher *2021-02-07, version 2.1.1* I use it all the time when doing trials, even out of the pool. Convenient and more accurate than a phone timer. Good backup at carnivals for official timer. ### 5/5 — Great tool!! I love this app!! *2020-10-30* I have loved this app at my fingertips as a coach for the past 4 years!!! The only thing I’d improve is being able to see 4-6 lanes AT ONCE (so make the rows half as wide). I like to duplicate the splits every other wall so that I have both 50’s and 100’s splits. I can get 3 swimmers in a heat but once I have to scroll up and down for 3+ swimmers per heat, it gets muddled (I lose track). Otherwise, this is a fantastic tool!!! ### 3/5 — So much potential! *2020-10-03* This is set up to be the perfect app with just a few fixes. The stopwatch carryovers are buggy as heck and sometimes the clock is running but the stop / clear button doesn’t change resulting in Random Timing Events (RTE). There needs to be quicker access to the events list without having to click twice to get in and out. When kids come to me after their event, I need to be able to quickly look back at their splits and get the times of the current swimmers. We need to be able to clear the swimmer names and times separately if an RTE happens. We need to be able to set up heat pages within the event to snap between lane set ups. ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-07-11, version 2.1.1* Super useful works perfectly ### 5/5 — You’ll never go back *2019-05-15* I use this app during my masters swim practices. It helps give a visual rather than shouting numbers across the pool. It’s so easy to use, I love the big button so I can watch flip turns and finishes without looking at my device. Multiple lanes, events , labeling, and email support makes for the perfect assistant. Never use a stopwatch again! Swimmeetmaker is also game changing. I believe made by the same developer. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-07-11* Easy to use and very helpful for coaches timing multiple swimmers. ### 1/5 — Good idea but needs major overhaul *2015-10-21, version 2.1* This is a great idea and would be useful in training but the keyboard covers 1/2 the page and won't clear off the page, Also stays on landscape. ### 1/5 — Too time consuming *2015-10-13, version 2.1* Good idea but app is very clumsy to use. It needs a major overhaul to make it user friendly and easier to use. ## Frequently asked questions about Swim Stopwatch ### What does Swim Stopwatch do?
