NEW: College Fit — your swimmer's college projection in one tap Wonder where your swimmer might fit in college? College Fit projects their times forward to age 18 across three scenarios — conservative, expected, and aggressive — then ranks NCAA programs by how well they actually match. Every school gets a two-part read: • Conference fit — would they project to score at the conference championship? • Roster fit — would their times earn a spot on this specific team's depth chart? Browse the full ranked best-fits list, or search a specific school. Drill in for event-by-event detail: where they'd place at conference, where they'd rank on the roster, NCAA cuts they'd hit, and how their projection compares to the team's current top swimmers. An AI-generated narrative ties it all together — switch between swimmer-tone and coach-tone for the read that fits you. Filter by school tier (NCAA D1 Power, D1 Mid-Major, D2 — D3 and NAIA coming), conference, target age, and course. Built to grow with the dataset as more programs come online.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Swimlytics at 100% against Swimmetry's 25%. Swimlytics also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.9). Swimmetry's advantage is ratings volume (234 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Swimmetry sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Swimlytics sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Swimlytics holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swimmetry has 234 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
