>>Tip: We are always introducing exciting new features, so be sure to upgrade to the newest version when prompted to do so, or check for updates on your mobile device periodically.
SwimTopia’s mobile app is available to all members of a team using a SwimTopia website. And with the addition of our Guest Mode, spectators can follow their favorite athletes throughout the meet from anywhere!
Our Free mobile app shows a personalized view of your family’s meet entries, volunteer signups and swim history, and includes great features to help keep parents better informed, like Notification Alerts, and Live Event/Heat bar!
If your team is using Meet Maestro™, SwimTopia’s meet management solution, you’ll have access to heat sheets, estimated start times, upcoming swim reminders, live meet results and more when you upgrade to our Pro subscription (details below).

Downloading the SwimTopia Mobile App
The SwimTopia mobile app is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
➧ Mobile System Requirements:
- iOS 11 or higher
- Android 8 or higher
Logging Into Your Mobile App Account
The SwimTopia mobile app is a companion app to your team's SwimTopia website. If you and your members have a login to your team's website, you'll all use the same login credentials for the SwimTopia mobile app:
If someone from your team asks how to log into the app, ask them if they are a registered member of the team.
➧ YES
If they have activated their account on your team's website by setting up a password, then all they need to do is log in to the SwimTopia mobile app using the SAME email/password that they use on the team website.
➞ Send them to the Account Activation, Login and Password Management article if they need help.
➧ NO/NOT SURE
Tell them to go to YOUR team website (make sure to send them the URL so they don't end up on www.swimtopia.com) to see if they can log in there. If they cannot, then they either need to register with your team on the team website, or access the meet in the SwimTopia mobile app as a Guest User.
➞ See the Guest Mode Access section below for more details.

Guest Mode Access
(Available for Meet Maestro Meets Only)
SwimTopia Mobile's Guest Mode allows meet spectators without SwimTopia logins to use the app so they can search for upcoming or past meets and follow their favorite athlete's throughout the meet from anywhere!
With a Pro Subscription, guest users can designate their athlete favorites, access heat sheets, follow the progress of the meet if the team is using the Live Event/Heat bar, and view live results and scores.
Without Pro, guests will still be able to follow along as the meet progresses if the team is using the Live Event/Heat bar, but will only see results once the meet has completed.
Guests will be prompted to upgrade to Pro if they attempt to access screens beyond the Meet Overview. They can try Pro for FREE for 7 days, then upgrade to Pro for $2.49/mo or $9.99/yr
>>Note: For a meet to show up in the Public Meet Search, the meet must be using SwimTopia's Meet Maestro meet management software AND the “Public Meet Search” option must be explicitly enabled by a team admin under the Mobile App settings in Meet Maestro (disabled by default). ➞ See Meet Maestro Settings - Mobile App for more details.
NOT FINDING WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? - This message displays at the bottom of the screen to provide a possible reason when a meet is not coming up in the search.
<<Tip: We suggest spreading the word to your members so they can inform any grandparent/friend etc who wishes to follow their athlete, that once you log into the mobile app via Guest Mode, don't log out. When someone logs in via Guest Mode, a "token" is associated with the user to remember who their Favorite swimmers are. As long as they don't log out of the mobile app, the app will remember their favorites, and they can continue to see their history over time. But if they do log out of the app, the token is no longer associated with the user to remember their favorites. The next time they try to use the app, they would have to log in as a guest again, and then re-favorite their swimmers.
