Warmups, heats, breaks, and awards

Free Swim Meet Timer

Use a swim meet timer for warmups, heat staging, lane rotations, breaks, cooldown, awards, and volunteer coordination. Create an XTimer room when meet staff, coaches, and deck displays need shared timing.

Built for this job

Meet teams can keep warmups, heat blocks, breaks, and awards visible.

Volunteers and coaches can coordinate deck timing more easily.

XTimer rooms support shared swim meet timers across staff and display devices.
