Aquatic timing system

Aquatic timing systems are designed to automate the process of timing, judging, and scoring in competitive swimming and other aquatic sports, including diving, water polo, and synchronized swimming.

[1] These systems are also used in the training of athletes, and many add-on products have been developed to assist with this process.

A limitation of analog timekeeping was the technology's inability to reliably record times accurately below one tenth (0.1) of a second.

[4] Meet Managers are programs created to automate the process of generating results and can be either downloadable or web applications.

[5] Some meet manager developers include Active Hy-Tek, Splash Software, SwimTopia, NBC Sports and Bigmidia.
