WHY SWIMMINGLY®?
Summer swimming is only possible because of the incredible parent volunteers of the thousands of leagues and teams across the country. You, the parents, are one of the big reasons that so many swimmers fall in love with swimming. Although a season can be tough for some, those hot summer pool decks, long swim meets, nachos and cotton candy, (believe it or not) is the cultivation of that passion we see in swimmers today! From learning how meets run, to your first DQ, to team camaraderie, this is the place where it all begins…
Hundreds of Summer Leagues and teams turn to Swimmingly® when they are looking for ways to:
- Reduce the number of volunteers
- Speed up and simplify their swim meets
- Eliminate wet, timer & DQ slips
- Educate parents and volunteers on the pool deck
