Swim Team Timer

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. TIME THE RACE • Live race timer — every swimmer in the heat gets their own splits • Heat mode runs heats back-to-back into one combined leaderboard, zero re-setup • Relay timing with per-leg splits and a relay-leg leaderboard • Group start or staggered individual starts • The race clock stays on your Lock Screen with Live Activities • A phone call won't lose your times — the timer survives interruptions • Wrong tap? Undo a swimmer's last split or finish in a tap • Enter results after the fact with bulk time entry TIMEKEEPER MODE — *COACHES PLAN REQUIRED TO START* • Invite parents and assistants with a link in Messages • Spread helpers along the deck; each times their swimmers from their own phone • Every split and finish lands on your phone automatically • Anyone you allow can start the heat — you don't have to be at the blocks • You decide what helpers can do: start, pause, next heat, stop, restart, or mark DNS/DNF/DQ • Helping is free — no subscription needed SHARE RESULTS • Send a meet, an event, a swimmer's season, a whole team, or everything to parents and other coaches • Got a results file from another coach? Pick your swimmers and their times and splits come straight in, no retyping • You choose how names appear before you share POOL & DIVING • 25-yard pools by default; 25-meter and 50-meter courses supported • Diving: score-only totals, or full dive sheets with degree of difficulty and per-judge awards YOUR PROGRAM, ORGANIZED • Every swimmer with photo, contact info, birthday, and full history • Call, text, or email a parent straight from the swimmer's page • Varsity and JV squads with team colors and logos • Guided CSV roster import; export any time • Graduate seniors and roll to a new season without retyping anyone RESULTS THAT COACH FOR YOU • PRs and season bests badge themselves automatically • Season Bests leaderboard for every event, whole program • Team Depth Chart — top three in every event your squad swims • Split-by-split breakdown of every swim • Progress charts for times, diving points, and relays • Put two swimmers side by side, race by race • Share cards for the team group chat MEET DAY • Meet-day dashboard: the event on the clock, what's up next, what's done • One tap builds your standard meet in real meet order • Reuse your standard meet all season from a template • Every meet shows its venue on a map • Unfinished meets get flagged so no one is left without a time BUILT FOR THE DECK • Solo timing works offline with zero bars (Timekeeper Mode needs a connection) • iCloud sync across every device, automatically • Export results, statuses, and splits any time Subscription terms: Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
