From the 200 medley relay to the 500 free, a swim meet runs all day. Swim Team Timer times every heat from the deck and stacks them into one clean leaderboard — built for 25-yard pools by default. Split relays leg by leg, and score diving too: quick totals or full sheets with degree of difficulty and judge scoring. [IMPORTANT: PAID SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED] Swim Team Timer requires a paid subscription to access its features, timing tools, and coaching utilities. The one exception: helping a coach as a Timekeeper is free. Coach Plans add unlimited athletes and Timekeeper Mode. Parent Plans allow you to add up to 4 athletes.
