➧ Guest Login Pro Upgrade

If you upgrade to Pro while logged in as a guest, and then you log into your member account, the Pro subscription should be retained, as this is tied to your phone.

If you are not seeing Pro features when logged into your member account, try the following steps:

Click on the "TRY PRO FOR FREE" button and then the RESTORE SUBSCRIPTION link to activate the subscription again on your phone. (This link triggers a confirmation from the app store to our app to let us know you have a subscription, so we can link it to your account. Sometimes there's a disconnect, and it is not automatically recognized. This can happen if you originally started a subscription as a Guest user or another logged-in user, or after re-installing the app.)
Still an issue? - Log out of the app and back into your account
Still an issue? - Uninstall and reinstall the app
Still an issue? - Submit a support ticket from the Settings screen within the app (wavy lines on top left), with specific details and what you have tried. We will work with you to get this resolved as quickly as possible.

➧ How to Subscribe/Renew a Pro Subscription

You should see a "TRY PRO FOR FREE" button at the top of most screens if you are not already subscribed (i.e., the Family Overview, the Meet Overview for any current or past meet, and Settings (wavy lines on top left).
The upgrade prompt will display automatically if you attempt to reach a screen that requires Pro to view (i.e., Favorites, Events).
Click that button and follow the prompts to subscribe.
You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal in your iTunes Account Settings or Google Play Store after purchase.

➧ How to Cancel/Unsubscribe from Pro

Canceling a Pro subscription is done through the app store subscription tool, not within the app itself.

For more information on subscribing to or canceling from Pro ➞ See our Help Center article SwimTopia Mobile Pro: How to Subscribe or Renew your Subscription

» Important Note: Deleting the app DOES NOT cancel your subscription. Just like unplugging your TV from your cable box does not cancel your cable service. Canceling your Pro subscription is between you and the Apple Store / Google Play Store.

➞ See our Help Center article SwimTopia Mobile Pro: Subscribe, Renew or Cancel your Subscription

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 (Apple family share supported)
Android 8 or higher

Logging Into Your Mobile App Account

The SwimTopia mobile app is a companion app to your team's SwimTopia website, so use the same login credentials for the SwimTopia mobile app.

If you forget your password, you will need to reset this from your team website (click "Need login help?" for instructions as needed):

Are you a registered member of a team that uses the SwimTopia team management solution as their team website?

➧ YES

If you have activated your account on your team's website by setting up a password, then all you need to do is log in to the SwimTopia mobile app using the SAME email/password that you use on your team website.

➞ See Account Activation, Login and Password Management if you need help.

➧ NO/NOT SURE

Go to YOUR team website ( NOT www.swimtopia.com) and see if you can log in there, or use the "Forgot your password?" option to check. If not, then you 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 Login (for non-team members)

(Available for meets using SwimTopia's Meet Maestro...ask your computer rep if unsure)

» Note: If you are a registered member of a team and have activated your account, log into the app using your email/pw instead of using the Guest login. There are more options available for members than guests. If unsure, contact your team's administrator to confirm. If you upgrade to Pro as a guest and then don't see Pro features when you log into your account, see ➧ Guest Login Pro Upgrade above for steps.

Spectators without member accounts can follow their favorite athletes throughout the meet from anywhere using our Guest Login feature.

This access is also useful for your athletes who want to keep track of their progress through the meet on their phones and do not have a login on your team site. (if you're using Meet Maestro to run the meet)

With a Pro Subscription, guest users can designate their athlete favorites, access heat sheets (if made available by the team), 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 been completed.

Non-Pro guests will also see a button allowing them to "TRY PRO FOR FREE" and 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. ➞ See the Pro Subscription Details section above for more information.

» Note: This feature only applies to meets run using SwimTopia's meet management software (Meet Maestro). In addition, the “Public Meet Search + Guest Access” option must be enabled (enabled by default unless a league requires it to be disabled).

➧ NO MEET FOUND

This message displays at the bottom of the screen to provide a possible reason when a meet is not coming up in the search.

» Guest Login Users Tip: Don't log out (under the app Settings). When you log in via Guest, a "token" is associated with your access to remember your favorite athletes (Pro Users), and you can continue to see the athlete's history over time. If you log out of the app, the token is no longer associated with you to remember your favorites. The next time you try to use the app, you will have to log in as a guest again and then re-favorite.

Athlete Access Options

Many times, older athletes want mobile app visibility into team alerts, their time history, heat sheets, live results, and more. The easiest option would be for the athlete to download the SwimTopia mobile app and log into one of their parents' accounts, but if they want their own account or the parent does not want them using their login, then there are a few options:

➧ Option 1: Add Athlete Email and Activate Account (if age 13+)

Only school teams can collect emails for athletes during registration, which initiates an account activation email. Due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), which restricts communication directly to anyone under 13, we don't support this for Summer league configurations.

Summer league team admins can add emails to athlete profiles after they have been registered, but this does not automatically send an activation email. The admins must send a password reset email or have them go to the login page to generate one to set up a password activating their account. Then they can log in to the mobile app. We highly suggest not doing this for anyone under 13, or at least unsubscribe them from receiving team communication in their profile.

➧ Option 2: Use the Guest Login Access ("Continue as Guest" button)

The athlete needs to be logged into the app with a username and password associated with the team to get team alerts, but they could just go through the Guest login to receive Upcoming Swim and Live Results notifications during a meet if they have a Pro subscription. Here's more info on the Guest Mode Access

» Note: In both options, if the household uses family share, they should have access to the parent's Pro subscription. This is all based on how their parent set up their phones, so we have no involvement in that part, which is managed by the app stores. If they don't, they are treated like a separate user and need their own Pro subscription.

SwimTopia Mobile Settings

Team Website Link

At this time, the app focuses on providing users with information about the family, time history, meet/event schedule, team alerts (if sent by your team), and meet-day features.

It is not meant to be a mirror image of all of the information your team adds to the team website, but we do provide a quick link to your website at the top of your app when you log in under the "Visit Website" link.
