Personal Best Medley Update

We have updated our personal best tool to allow tracking of Individual Medleys (both single and double lengths)

An individual medley consists of four strokes. These four strokes go in an order by Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke and finally Freestyle. Swimmers can swim a single length of each stroke, or double lengths of each.

The new website feature allows swimmers to search their swim history to detect when they have previously completed a medley and calculates their fastest time, then going forward it will update their PB whenever they set a new faster time.

Swimathon 2023

SWIMTAG are once again partnering with The Swimathon Foundation to support this years swim events across the UK

The Swimathon event will be returning to more than 450 pools across the country on the weekend of May 12-14 2023 with their annual fundraising swim for Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie. We wanted to support all our swimmers taking part in the event and encourage as many as possible to signup this year, so SWIMTAG users can register for any Swimathon challenge and get an exclusive 35% discount using the code SWIMTAGR2T1.

For those who wish to get a taste of the main Swimathon events, we have re-opened the Swimathon Distance Series, 4 distance competitions of 400m, 1.5km, 2.5km and 5km. The Swimathon Distance Series allows you to pick a distance and see if you are able to complete it in one swim, you can start at 400m (16 lengths in a 25m pool) and see if you are able to continue to the next. For those already signed up, they can use the competitions to help train for the event and compare your progress with others.

The competition series will be active from 20 March - 14 May at which point the results are frozen until the following year. If you are running the Swimathon events at your pool we encourage you to promote the competition series as a great introduction to the events and a way for swimmers to track their training progress and socialise with other participants.

New Swim Badges Available

We have released 10 new swim badges for swimmers to collect, these have been designed especially to motivate and encourage swimmers to keep returning to the pool throughout the year. There are now 40 badges to collect in total, to date no swimmers have collected them all yet.

    We know that many pools have limited space at their busy reception areas and are concerned about installing extra equipment, to help solve this issue we developed the SWIMTAG Windows Application that is installed on your own computers removing the need for an extra computer.

    In addition to this we have developed a handy 3D model that allows pool operators to preview the placement of our Docking Station tower in their reception areas.

    To preview the model for yourself simply load the page linked below on an iOS (Safari) or Android device and you will see a 'View In 3D' button which loads the Augmented Reality viewer.
