Swim Sonar is a swim-results app for competitive swim clubs. It helps swimmers and families see meet results, personal bests, qualifying standards, and what to aim for next.
Who can use it?
Families, swimmers, coaches, and administrators from participating clubs. Swim Sonar is not a public directory: you can see only the people and results available through your own club.
How do I get access for me or my club?
To protect swimmer data, your club’s primary contact needs to invite you. If you manage a club that wants to use Swim Sonar, email swimsonar@gmail.com. .
Where can I download the app?
Download Swim Sonar from the App Store or Google Play. Your club’s primary contact needs to invite your email before you can sign in.
How do I sign in?
Enter the email address your club’s primary contact invited and we will send a six-digit sign-in code. There is no password to remember or reset.
Swimmers and families
How do I follow a swimmer?
Open Swimmers in the app and follow anyone on your club's roster you want to watch. Their results and next milestone appear in your Swimmers tab, and you can unfollow at any time.
Can both parents follow the same swimmer?
Yes. Each parent signs in with their own club-listed email address and follows the same swimmer. There is no shared or main parent account.
Can my swimmer have their own account?
Yes. A parent or guardian can use You → Invite → Swimmers to invite a swimmer by email. They can invite up to 3 swimmers. A new swimmer then chooses their name from the club roster and confirms their date of birth to connect their account to their results.
Can I invite another parent or guardian?
Yes. Use You → Invite → Parent to invite another adult by email. They sign in with their own account and can follow swimmers at the club.
Results and meets
Where do results come from?
Your club provides the results, Top Times reports, entry confirmations, and qualifying standards it already shares with families. Coaches can contact us with results for us to add. Swim Sonar organizes that information; it does not buy results or pull them from a governing body's database. .
How soon after a meet do results appear?
Results appear after we add the information your club sends us. Ask your coach if you are waiting for a meet.
What do the colours and levels mean?
They are qualifying standards for meets and championships. Green means achieved; amber shows the next level to aim for. Your swimmer's page lays out every level for every event in one grid.
Why am I seeing last season's standards?
We update qualifying standards as they become available and your club provides them. If this season's standards have not been released yet, we show last season's times until the new ones are available.
A time looks wrong. What should I do?
Use the report button in the app. It goes to your club administrator, who can correct the source record. Swim Sonar displays the information your club provides.
Is a time in Swim Sonar official?
No. Your club and the governing body are the authority for qualifications, entries, and records. Swim Sonar organizes and displays the information.
Account and data
Who can see my swimmer's information?
You and members of your own club. Swim Sonar keeps club data separate, so one club cannot see another club's swimmers.
Do you sell data or run ads?
No. Swim Sonar has no advertising and does not sell personal information. Read the full privacy policy for details.
How do I delete my account?
Go to You → Delete account in the app. Your personal account information is removed. Information provided by your club may remain under its agreement with Swim Sonar; deleting your account does not delete the results and standards displayed in the app. Read the privacy policy for details.
