Guest Mode Access
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 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.
>>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.
Live Event/Heat Bar
This is a Free feature of the SwimTopia mobile app.
Like having an Event/Heat board in their pocket, SwimTopia Mobile displays a Live Bar that keeps parents up-to-date on what’s happening in real time. The Live Bar is invaluable if parents can’t see clearly from their volunteer position, or are home with siblings and trying to time their arrival.
If a volunteer updates the current event/heat, parents will see a Live Event/Heat Bar in their SwimTopia mobile app. They’ll always know which event is in the water—no more missed swims! If you’re using the CTS Dolphin wireless timing system, the mobile app will automatically detect the current event and heat and display it on the Live Bar.
In a meet that has multiple sessions (like a boys pool and a girls pool, or virtual meets), the volunteer can select a session (or team/pool for virtual) to manage. As long as both pools have a volunteer manning the Live bar, then parents from either team can pull up the live bar that corresponds to their "session" and see the live event/heat updates.
>>Team Admins: Teams can access SwimTopia Live features in the mobile app when team admins perform a few simple steps. ➞ See Enabling SwimTopia Live
