Swim Stopwatch is a free iPhone app designed specifically for swim coaches. Developed by Eric Henninger, a high school swim coach himself, this app aims to address the challenges of timing multiple swimmers or relays in a pool simultaneously.

One of the standout features of Swim Stopwatch is its unique and original layout, which allows a single coach to time all of their swimmers while also enabling them to focus on the race rather than constantly checking their watch. The app simplifies the process by providing a large button that creates individual split boxes for each split time. Coaches can simply hit the button whenever they need a split, and while the swimmers are swimming their next leg, they can easily drag the split time to the appropriate lane and split number.

Swim Stopwatch goes beyond just timing the splits. It also automatically calculates the split and cumulative times, eliminating the need for coaches to perform any manual calculations. This feature not only saves time but also ensures accurate and reliable timing for each swimmer.

The app is designed to be user-friendly and accessible on both iPhone and iPad. On the iPhone, coaches can view and time up to three lanes at a time, while on the iPad, they can monitor up to six lanes simultaneously. This flexibility allows coaches to effectively manage and track multiple swimmers or relays during practice sessions or competitions.

Overall, Swim Stopwatch is a convenient and efficient timing app that caters specifically to the needs of swim coaches. With its intuitive interface and automatic calculations, coaches can focus on coaching their swimmers without the hassle of manual timing and calculations.
