Austin Hills Swim League

Training material for the AHSL swim league.  This is a video presentation of the training class we presented based on the 2015 training material.

For 2021, BCW Barracudas are planing on trialing Swimtopia Maestro as demoed to the league at the beginning of 2020.

• Easier to use
  
  • Build a meet to league rules in 5 minutes instead of 20-30 minutes.
• No file handoff via email for entries, no sending backups to visiting team to print.
• Can be accessed from any computer (web based), no specific computer or license.  Makes last minute scratches and relay changes easy. Can do from work or anywhere.
• Generates checkin report that includes swim-ups w/o any extra work.
• Can easily use two computers on pool deck. One for timing, one for DQ/Reports w/o any additional license costs
• Live event/heat in the app when connected to Dolphin
• Several team parents have said "I think I can do that!"  (that's good, my kids are aging out soon)
• Swimtopia will not currently run a USA Swimming style meet (prelim/finals, multi session, etc)... but we do not have to.

It does require internet connection - either WiFi or a reasonable hotspot.
