Before you choose
SwimDesk brings coaching and meet operations into the same desk, with published results and family coordination on Live. Swimcloud offers team tools alongside its separate Windows and Mac Meet Manager application. HY-TEK Team Manager covers team work; HY-TEK Meet Manager covers hosting.
Commit documents workout writing, season plans, meet entries, results, family commitments, and volunteer signups. It also offers club billing and team websites. Its entry tools include dual-meet heat and lane assignments; those are different from running and scoring the meet. Families can view results, and team websites can show public record boards. Check which features are included in your plan.
HY-TEK’s Workout Manager adds practice writing and training tools to Team Manager. It also supports workouts on certain console pace clocks; that is different from a practice clock on your phone. Meet Manager lists its console interface and Pro web-results tools as options. Confirm the package you are being quoted.
SwimDesk’s CTS scoreboard reader has been tested against a real System 6 capture. Testing on your own console is still needed before a meet. Gen 7 Serial is unverified and off by default. Swimcloud Meet Manager and HY-TEK Meet Manager document broader console support. Send us your model and connection details so we can check the fit.
