General Performance Metrics Suite

These core metrics provide valuable insights into an athlete's overall performance across events, strokes, and distances. They are essential tools for tracking progress and consistency in competitions.

PBCS

Personal Best Consistency Score is a vital metric that measures how consistently an athlete performs near or at their personal best (PB). A high PBCS indicates that the swimmer regularly races close to their best times, demonstrating reliability in competitions. On the other hand, a lower PBCS suggests more variation in performance. Maintaining a high PBCS is key to ensuring competitive consistency and delivering strong results under pressure.

PBIR

Personal Best Improvement Rate tracks how frequently an athlete improves on their personal best times. A higher PBIR means the swimmer is making steady progress and regularly setting new personal bests, a strong indicator of growth and improvement. A lower PBIR may suggest the athlete is hitting a plateau or needs adjustments to their training.

PCI

Performance Consistency Index measures how often an athlete bounces back after a slower race. A high PCI reflects an athlete's ability to recover and improve on their next swim, while a lower PCI indicates they may struggle to regain momentum. Monitoring PCI helps athletes and coaches understand race recovery patterns and plan future training strategies accordingly.

AMPC

Average Monthly Percent Change reveals an athlete’s month-to-month improvement rate. A lower AMPC is ideal, as it shows faster times over time. For example, an AMPC of -0.5% means the swimmer’s times are improving by 0.5% each month on average. This metric helps track long-term progress and ensure steady improvement.

MAD

Mean Average Deviation is a measure of consistency between races. It calculates the average deviation in performance from one race to the next. A smaller MAD score indicates that an athlete's performances are more consistent, while a larger MAD score suggests greater variability. A low MAD score is desirable, as it shows the swimmer is likely to perform within a predictable range in future races.

Event Specific Metrics

These metrics provide in-depth insights into the performance of individual races and events, helping identify strengths and areas for improvement.

General

This section highlights key event data such as Personal Best (PB), Season Best (SB), last recorded time, and current FINA score. It also includes split-specific information like PBs for each split, average pace, and split progression over time—helping you track improvements in pacing, stroke count, and more.

Splits Pacing

Average split pace is crucial for analyzing race strategy. You can compare an athlete’s pacing to world record benchmarks, with 0% representing their average split time. Ideally, split pacing remains consistent with a lower spread and a slight surge at the finish for optimal performance.

Split Scores

Split Scores evaluate how different segments of a race are improving relative to others. Significant variations in split scores may indicate areas that need attention or improvement.

Swim

This section breaks down each race, offering data on split times, stroke counts, stroke rates, and underwater times. Video storage and race analysis allow for deeper review and comparison with previous races, making it easier to pinpoint changes in performance.

Swim Score & LPBCS

Swim Score rates each race based on comparisons to the athlete's PB, SB, and last swim, while LPBCS gives a simplified grade for how close the performance is to the event PB.

Competition Specific Metrics

These metrics provide a detailed view of how an athlete performed during a specific competition, helping highlight areas for improvement.

Competition Score

The Competition Score averages the Swim Scores for all races at the competition, offering a quick summary of how an athlete performed compared to their historical results.

Competition PBIR & PBCS

Competition PBIR reflects the ratio of personal bests achieved, while Competition PBCS measures how consistently the athlete performed relative to their PBs throughout the competition.

Competition Result Charts

These charts break down performance by stroke and distance, showing the number of swims, PBs, and the average PBCS for each category. This provides a clear picture of what went well and where improvements can be made.

Predict

Predict is a powerful tool that analyzes your performance trends and uses advanced algorithms to estimate future times based on your current trajectory.

How To Use

Simply enter a date, and Predict will estimate the time you’re likely to achieve by then, based on your current performance. Alternatively, enter a target time, and Predict will calculate how long it might take to reach it. It also provides predicted splits for both cases, showing exactly what’s needed to hit your goals even when it cant predict an exact time or date.

Interpreting Results

While Predict is experimental and not a guarantee, it serves as a valuable guide. If you’re off track from your target time, use the insights to adjust your training plan.

Limitations

Predict relies on your race data and doesn’t account for changes in training. Predictions are most accurate within a year of your last swim; anything beyond may lose precision

Video Analysis

Video Analysis is a powerful feature for getting really in depth into races

Features

Video Analysis has a wide range of features, with video analysis athletes can use key presses to log starts, strokes and turns to generate a full race anlysis. Once saved video analysis can compute stroke counts, stroke rates and underwater time, it also save timestamps for starts and turns so you can jump anywhere in the race without having to try and fin it. Athletes and coaches can also add custom timestamps to the video to point out issues or anything else in the video. There is also a powerful zoom feature and video speed setting

KeyBinds

Video Anlysis has some handy keybinds to make life easier when watching and analysing race videos

• w Zoom In
• s Zoom Out
• a Speed Up
• d Slow Down
• q Reset Speed & Zoom
• e pause / play

In Analysis Mode the following keybinds are used for logging starts, strokes and turns

• Press and hold space when the whistle blows for the dive until the athlete breaks out
• Tap space for each stroke the swimmer takes
• Press and hold space when the athlete touches the wall until they break out from the turn
• Press and hold space when the athlete finishes the race (optional)
• Tap r if you make a mistake to bring you back to the last turn or start and start logging from that point again
