Swim Times

Swim Time Splits

Add and edit cumulative split distances and times, compare splits on charts and include every split in an export.

Permissions: Add Swim Times, Add Own Swim Times

Splits record the cumulative time reached at points within a swim. They stay attached to the overall swim result, so you can review how a swimmer paced the race.

For example, for a 200m swim you might record 50m at 0:32.50, 100m at 1:07.20 and 150m at 1:42.80. Enter elapsed times from the start of the swim, rather than the time taken for each separate length.

Add Splits With a New Result

When adding swim times manually, expand the split fields using the down arrow beside the swim time. Enter cumulative distances in metres and the corresponding times.

On the club-event entry form, split distances must be different and increase in order: for example 50, 100, 150, rather than 50, 50, 50. If validation reports a repeated or decreasing distance, correct it before submitting; no swim times are saved from that submission.

Results imports also retain the splits supplied by supported source files. Check the imported results after processing.

Edit an Existing Result

  1. Open the member's Swim Times tab, find the result and click its edit icon. You need permission to edit that member's swim times.
  2. In Splits, click Add split for each extra row.
  3. Enter a positive whole-number distance in metres and a cumulative time, such as 0:32.50 or 1:02.34. For longer durations, use hh:mm:ss.ff.
  4. Use the up/down buttons to put the rows in swim order. Use the bin button to remove a split.
  5. Save the result and check the updated split list.

The editor supports up to 255 splits per result. Completely blank rows are ignored. A partly completed row, zero or invalid time, or invalid distance must be corrected before saving. Times use a colon between minutes and seconds and a decimal point for hundredths, such as 1:02.34.

View Splits and Charts

In a member's swim-time results, click the View splits down-arrow icon beside a time to expand its attached splits.

Click the chart icon on the member's swim-time results to open the chart. It includes separate series for the available split distances, such as 50m Split and 100m Split. These start hidden; click a series name in the chart legend to show or hide it.

Export All Splits

In Export Swim Times, select the split option before exporting. CSV and Excel include numbered split-time and split-distance columns, expanding to include every split in the selected results.

Excel also includes a Splits worksheet with one row per split. Use this when you want to analyse splits without working across the numbered columns in the main worksheet.
