Start up to 10 stopwatches at once. Scan a heat sheet to auto-populate your entire meet. SplitDeck is the multi-lane timing app built for swim coaches who need speed, accuracy, and zero setup friction on the pool deck. Record splits as swimmers hit the wall. Finish each lane independently. Undo a mistaken finish instantly. Your session auto-saves every 5 seconds — no data lost if the app closes unexpectedly. HOW IT WORKS Tap Start All — every timer begins at the same moment. Tap Split on any lane as a swimmer touches the wall. Tap Finish to stop that lane while others keep running.
