Facts About Swim Meet Management

Results Management at swim meets, mean much more than just printing results after an event.  It starts with setting up the meet database before the meet, then processing and verifying meet entries.  There are any number of required pre-meet reports, some of which if requested you may want posted online.

However, the demands on the computer operator skyrocket when the meet actually starts.  After all, you are responsible for seeding the events, printing the lane assignments, timer sheets etc, and when you have time, the results from the previous event.  During all this, you can be flooded with fixes, adjustments, and judges decisions, swim offs, time trials etc.

The fact is, results management is the single most important function at the meet.  It's the reason why everyone is there; to get a time and a placing.  Of course, the food is important, hospitality is important, but if results management stops or the computers fail, the meet literally stops with it.

Don't let anyone fool you and tell you "its just a swim meet, how hard can it be."  If you have tried it, you know.  Results management can be intimidating and it is hard.  Only two things make a difference; In depth knowledge of swimming and results management experience.  We have both:
