All events supported (freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, individual medley) Manage short course, long course, and relay (with or without a flying start) Flexible lap entry (every 25m, every 50m, or 5m / 12.5m / 15m) Progress graphs for each event Link a YouTube video to any record Team Management Perfect for swim clubs and school teams.
