Personal Best Times

Personal bests are a crucial motivator for swimmers, driving them to continually improve. Tracking these times, whether from official meets or non-licensed events, provides a clear measure of progress and achievement. Our system categorises times into three tabs: All PBs, Short Course PBs, and Long Course PBs.

This organisation helps swimmers quickly understand their performance across different pool lengths and highlights their growth and development. Celebrating personal bests fosters a sense of accomplishment, motivating swimmers to set and achieve new goals.

Analysing PBs offers additional benefits:

  • Performance Insights: By examining trends and patterns in personal bests, swimmers can identify strengths and areas needing improvement.
  • Targeted Training: Coaches and swimmers can develop more effective training plans tailored to specific needs.
  • Goal Setting: Continuous analysis helps in setting realistic and achievable goals, ensuring steady progress.
  • Motivation and Confidence: Tracking improvements boosts confidence and keeps swimmers motivated to push their limits.

Overall, the detailed analysis of personal bests provides a comprehensive view of a swimmer’s progress, aiding in their continuous development and success.

Additionally, incorporating stroke analysis into your training offers numerous benefits, such as:

  • Identifying Technical Flaws: Pinpoints areas that need improvement.
  • Improving Stroke Efficiency: Helps you swim more effectively and with less effort.
  • Customising Training Plans: Tailors workouts to address specific weaknesses.
  • Enhancing Overall Performance: Ensures continuous improvement and maximises your potential.

Combining goal setting with stroke analysis ensures a comprehensive approach to your swimming development, leading to better results and a more fulfilling training experience.
