LaneWatch

Break the race down

A finish time tells you what happened. It doesn't tell you where it happened. LaneWatch splits a race into the parts you can actually train — the start, the underwater, the breakout, the rate you held and the one you lost.

Three ways in

Log a race, get the whole breakdown.

Every race you log is measured the same way, so a swim from March and a swim from October are actually comparable. Times convert between short course, long course and yards, so a personal best doesn't depend on which pool you were standing in.

Where the time actually goes

Fourteen measurements, placed where they happen in the race. Log the splits and LaneWatch works the rest out — then tracks each one across every race you've logged, so you can see which part is improving and which one isn't.

Private until you say otherwise

Swimming data is personal, and a lot of it belongs to children. So nothing is shared by default, and every step outward is one you take deliberately.

It starts private

A new account shares nothing. Your races are yours until you choose to let a coach or a club see them.

Sharing is a setting, not a side effect

Being on a roster doesn't publish your swims. You pick who can see them, and changing your mind takes effect straight away.

You can be anonymous

Share a swim with your club or more widely without your name attached, so the times can be useful without identifying you.

Backup is opt-in

Keep everything on your own device if you'd rather. Cloud backup is a switch you turn on, not the default.
