When meet files have been received and times uploaded to SWIMS, the meet will appear under www.pns.org > Meet/Results > Results
Should an athlete’s time NOT appear in SWIMS, the USA Swimming Coach should contact the PNS Office.
High School Observed Swims Procedure:
Athletes need to have the following in the meet manager file for a time to be uploaded to SWIMS. If this info is not included in the meet manager backup that is provided to the office, it will delay getting the results into SWIMS. It is a very time-consuming process to match athletes in SWIMS compared to the previous version of SWIMS. The previous version of SWIMS allowed us to create a times export that could then be uploaded to Team Manager or TeamUnify. This is no longer an option in SWIMS and according to USAS there is no plan in the works to add this function back into their systems.
- First Name
- Middle Initial
- Last Name
- Birthdate
- USAS Swimming ID
The issue stems around the time-consuming process of changing every athlete in the meet manager file from their high school team to Unattached. This also requires verifying their USAS ID did not change in the process and if the USAS ID is incorrect TeamUnify will not match the time with athlete in their database. With these added steps to manipulate the Meet Manager file it has created double the work compared to the old process. With the increased amount of time to change the Meet Manager file the PNS Office will not be uploading results into either TM or TU platforms. Coaches will need to enter their athletes’ results manually into their team management platform.
Once the times are uploaded to SWIMS a pdf of those uploaded results will be posted to the meet page for athletes/coaches to review. If you find that a result is missing on the posted pdf you will need to send the office the athlete’s info along with which meet(s) they participated in so we can match the result with the swimmer.
