http://www.myswimlog.com/blog Just another WordPress weblog Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:14:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 en hourly 1 Swimlines Explained http://www.myswimlog.com/blog/swimlines-explained/ http://www.myswimlog.com/blog/swimlines-explained/#comments Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:13:09 +0000 admin http://www.myswimlog.com/blog/?p=23 A new page has been added that shows personal best times and swimlines for each event that your record. An event for our purposes is defined as a combination of course(pool type), distance and stroke. So for example: 25yds pool, 100, Freestyle is an event

This new page shows all your personal bests and a quick “swimline” that shows the overall trend of your performance in that event.

So the data you can see on this new page is:

  • Course – the type of pool (long or short)
  • Distance – distance of the swim
  • Stroke – your stroke
  • Swims – the number of recorded swims for this event (more is better :-) )
  • PB – your personal best for this event
  • Swimline – a simple graphic of your performance in this event

As you can see as your time improves the graph trend is down and if (hopefully not) you have a bad patch then the trend of the graph will be up!

This page gives you a one page snapshop of your current swim performance.

Comments are welcome.

The initial version of mySwimlog allows swimmers to:

  • keep a log of meets and swims
  • plot graphs of swims for each event recorded, eg short course, 100m, freestyle

All types of course are supported. So mySwimLog can used by swimmers located anywhere in the world.

All logged data is secure and backed up on a regular basis.

mySwimLog is free to use so go ahead and register an account.

Also, I am very keen to get feedback on the application so if there is any feature that you feel can be improved or added do let me know :-)
