LIVE, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT LOOKING SwimBoard uses Live Activities to push event and heat updates straight to your Lock Screen, so you can follow along without keeping the app open. FIND YOUR SWIMMER FASTER Highlight your team from the meet roster and their lanes get called out automatically on the scoreboard, so you never lose track in a crowded heat sheet. MADE FOR THE STANDS Choose from multiple display themes, including a bold jumbotron-style view built to read clearly from a distance and in bright daylight. ACCESS Meets are unlocked with a Day Pass (24-hour access) or a Weekend Pass (access through the end of the meet), whether you're catching one session or the whole weekend. Built by the same team running the timing system at the pool.
