Swimmetry is an Android app built for competitive swimmers who want to review their races, follow their progress, and measure their times against recognized standards. Its main features cover analysis, goal setting, comparisons, and meet coverage, so the sections below group them by the tasks they support.
Reviewing races and progress over time
The app lets users analyze a swimmer's races and track their progress over time. Its visualizations are intended to show how a swimmer's progress is developing and how their times compare with various time standards. This is most useful when a swimmer wants to see whether training results are improving across meets rather than judging a single race in isolation.
Setting and tracking goals
Swimmers can set goals, such as a specific time standard or a personal best, and track progress toward them. The goal tracking feature is designed to help keep swimmers motivated and focused. The source suggests setting realistic, achievable goals and checking progress regularly, which fits a routine of reviewing results after each competition.
Benchmarking against standards and other swimmers
Swimmetry shows how a swimmer stacks up in their state or at the national level, using state rankings and National Age Group (NAG) motivational standards. Users can also run head-to-head comparisons of their best times with friends, rivals, or famous Olympians. The source describes this as adding a competitive element to the app.
Following meets, news, and favorite swimmers
Live meet results help users keep up with current competitions and follow particular swimmers. A personalized news feed provides the latest swimming news. Users can add favorite swimmers to a favorites list, and the source states that this allows them to receive updates when those swimmers compete in a meet or achieve a goal.
Tracking groups with team analytics
Team analytics allow users to track achievements and progressions for different groups of swimmers. This is the feature that extends the app beyond an individual swimmer's own records and may be relevant to anyone following a set of athletes rather than one person.
