Colorado Time - Ask an Expert |
||
An Introduction to WinSwim SoftwareWinSwim was designed to meet the needs of parent volunteers helping summer swim leagues. These parents can literally spend hours preparing for meets and producing award labels. WinSwim helps them do these tasks more efficiently. WinSwim combines elements traditionally found separately, including team manager, meet manager, timing console interface, multi-language support and reports. Timing Console InterfaceOne of the latest enhancements is the interface to the Colorado Time Systems timing consoles. This interface allows event sequences and labels describing the events to be sent from WinSwim to the console. Time results can be easily updated in WinSwim from the timing console. As the meet is occurring, WinSwim will allow you to manually enter the time and placing from within the WinSwim entries explorer (see image below). Or, if you have the Colorado Time System 5 or 6, just right click with the mouse on the event/heat to access the results on the timing console. You are able to retrieve the console final or backup times and review them before committing them to the meet results. Currently, WinSwim is revamping the software to release a Mandarin Chinese version (www.winswim.cn). More detailed information is available at the WinSwim website. A trial version is also available from the download page. Gary Wood is the founder of WinSwim Swimming Software. Wood is a former test manager with Microsoft Corporation and development manager with Alltel Information Services, Inc. He has over 25 years experience in software management and design, having developed some of the core mission-critical banking applications used in financial institutions worldwide. |
