### 5/5 — Great with the new improvements.

*2026-07-15, version 13.0.1*

Great for swim meets, we run our entire club summer program with Swimmingly. We hardly have issues.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-02, version 13.0.0*

Top notch, very easy to use

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2024-06-27, version 11.0.5*

Wow! My experience with Swimmingly has been nothing short of incredible! The robust app is equipped with the tools to generate a swim meet that is extremely efficient! As a multi-year user, I have had the privilege of not only using the software, but also seeing others use the swim-meet app! I couldn’t imagine running a swim meet without the handy features in the swimmingly app and want to extend a huge thank you to the developers behind this amazing product! Bravo, Swimmingly!

### 5/5 — Huge time saver

*2024-05-13, version 11.0.2*

We have run 4 meets with Swimmingly now and cannot tell you how much of a life saver this app and platform is for our team. We saved 90 min. @ our last meet alone. Now we can actually say we run a paperless swim meet!

### 5/5 — We love it. So easy!

*2023-06-09, version 10.0.5*

Our league has been using Swimmingly for a few years now and they continue to add great features that we ask for each year. Makes our volunteer lives so much easier and actually fun!

### 5/5 — LOVE IT 👍🏻

*2023-06-09*

Very impressed with how much easier it is for us to complete meet entries and manage our team throughout the season! 

Running the swim meets took a bit of practice but after we followed the instructions it was a breeze! Saved us lots of time during our first swim meet this summer! We also do not need nearly as many volunteers as we used to with our old system. 

Parents love the app and being able to receive live results during the meet as well. 

Overall very happy that our team went with Swimmingly.

### 5/5 — The BEST!

*2023-05-23, version 10.0.0*

Our club uses Swimmingly and we will never go back to stopwatches. Parents love it! Amazing customer service as well 👏 Even better in our second season!

### 5/5 — Love this app for our swim team!

*2023-05-23*

We switched this year and just ran our first meet with amazing success. Thank you to Swimmingly for making such an impact to our sport that has needed change! Meets are faster and most importantly, volunteers are happy!

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2023-05-10, version 9.0.2*

I love how the app keeps track of meets and your swimmers progress. It breaks down how they have grown over time and also their results from previous seasons.

### 1/5 — swimming should not be this complicated

*2022-07-08, version 9.0.2*

My swim team has used swimmingly for about 3 years now and we will admit - the idea is amazing. But the execution is done extremely poorly. Heat sheets have swimmers never seated right and swimmer’s times are always wrong and usually random numbers. I would not recommend the switch to swimmingly because it will make your swim team life harder and create more problems then you need.
