Hello [Team Name] Parents,
We encourage you to download SwimTopia’s mobile app. With this app, we’ll be able to communicate with you through push notifications—which is helpful when we need to get information out quickly, such as rain delays or weather alerts.
To receive push alerts on your phone:
- Download the SwimTopia Mobile App on the App Store or Google Play
- Log in with your SwimTopia login (you must have an activated login on the team site to log into your account on the app)
- Be sure to check your app’s notification settings -- ensure that it’s set to pop up on your screen (Android users: you may need to receive your first notification before you can edit this setting)
» Note: if you don’t download the app, you’ll still receive the alerts via email.
→ If your team is running the Live Event/Heat Updater during meets, include the following paragraph:
Another great benefit of having the SwimTopia app is that we’ll be broadcasting the current event and heat during meets. You can see a live event/heat bar on your phone throughout the meet. No more missed swims!
Other features of the free mobile app include:
- Access to Meet and Job Signup pages from the app
- Your athlete's Best Times and Time History
- Calendar view of upcoming meets and events
- Meet Overview for your family (including swim events and volunteer jobs)
- Public Meet Search/Guest Mode (other family/friends can follow along without having an account)
- Post-meet Results for your family’s athletes (upgrade to Pro to see live results)
» Option A: If your team is using Meet Maestro, use the following section. If your team is not yet using Meet Maestro, skip to Option B:
You’ll see prompts to upgrade to a 7-day free trial of the Pro version, which offers great meet-day features:
- Heat Sheets
- Heat/Lane Assignments and Estimated Start Times for your athletes' events on your family’s Meet Overview screen
- Estimated start times for all events that update as the meet progresses
- Upcoming Swim Reminders for favorited athletes
- Results notification alerts for your favorited athletes
- Live Results for all swimmers
- Team Scores (when utilized)
» Note: If you don't upgrade, you can't see the heat sheets in the app, “favorite” other athletes outside of your family, receive upcoming swim reminder notices (so you don't miss the event) and real-time results. You'll see the results load when the meet is over and the data has been imported to our site.
» Option B: If your team is not currently using Meet Maestro, use the following paragraph:
You’ll see prompts to upgrade to a free trial of the Pro version, but our team won’t be using these features. At this time Pro features are only beneficial when the meet is being run with SwimTopia’s meet management software, Meet Maestro. Our team is not currently using Meet Maestro to run meets. If we start to use the Pro features in the future, we’ll let you know.
Download the SwimTopia mobile app now to receive push alerts and other great benefits! Free on the App Store or Google Play.
