MySwimApp is the fastest way to follow USA-Swimming athletes — your kid, their teammates, anyone you care about. Search by name, follow with one tap, and we'll surface every swim, every cut, and every PB the moment they happen. LIVE AT THE POOL Real-time meet updates show event number, heat, and lane the second your swimmer takes the blocks. Pinned to your lock screen with Live Activities, so you never miss a race even when the app is closed. MEET-DAY PLAN Know exactly when each swim is, the heat and lane, the target splits to hit, and how far the next cut is — your whole race day organized, so you always know when to be on deck. CUTS AND PROGRESSION See exactly where every swimmer stands on the motivational ladder — B, BB, A, AA, AAA, AAAA — plus regional, sectional, futures, and national qualifying times. Color-coded progress bars show how close they are to the next cut. EVERY TIME, EVERY MEET Search across millions of results from thousands of meets. Open any swimmer's profile to see their full event history, best times, PR drops, and meet schedule. Built on the same official USA Swimming data coaches and officials use. COLLEGE OUTLOOK See the exact times college programs want — by event and age — and finally know what it takes. Pick a goal: D1, D2/D3, NCAA scoring, the Ivies, or the majors — or target one specific school, ranked by where it finishes at NCAAs. Track several goals at once, each with a clear on-track or gap-to-go readout. Honest by design: official cuts where they exist, estimated ranges where they don't — never a made-up number. A guide, not a recruiting or placement service. CELEBRATE THE MOMENT Turn any cut or PR into a share-ready card — pick your line, add a GIF, and send it in a tap. Sign in with Apple for instant access. Made for parents, coaches, swimmers, and anyone who lives at the pool deck.
