USMS Results Data Analysis

I recently built this website that lets Masters Swimmers enter their Swimmer ID and view analytics of their progression with meet times: https://www.usmsdata.org/. Think of it as a minimal Swimcloud for US Masters Swimming!

For example, if your USMS ID number is 456B-MZ99C, enter only the last five digits after the dash, which is your Swimmer ID. into the app. Here's my profile on the app in case anyone no longer has an active ID: https://www.usmsdata.org/?swimmerID=MZ99C.

I built this to easily find my overall personal best times and PBs within my age group (as I get older and can't hit my previous PBs). Any feedback would be appreciated!

I am a swimmer from the Pacific Northwest LMSC. I learned to swim three years ago and went to my first meet six months after learning! I love the energy of meets.

  • Hello all! I wanted to give an update on the site! You can still access https://www.usmsdata.org, but we also have a branded site at https://www.tryopenlane.com/ to make it more appealing to swimmers who are not as familiar with USMS (but should certainly join our community).

    A few updates have been made:

    1. Race Quest - shows which events you've raced and what you haven't. You can see if you have raced all of the possible events in Freestyle, Butterfly, Breaststroke, Individual Medley, Backstroke, SCY, SCM, LCM, and overall.

    Here's an example from Rick Colella, 1976 Olympic Medalist in the 200m breaststroke and a fellow Puget Sound Masters teammate of ours. It looks like he's aiming for racing a Grand Slam (all possible events).

     

    2. 2026 USMS Motivational Times - based on the 2026 NQTs and the formula that USMS used l last time that they made all motivational times in 2024. 

    This was a special request made in this forum post, and we were happy to create it! You can also see the Motivational Times comparison in the NQT comparison table.

    3. Recent Meets Raced on the first page - When a meet has been added to the Event Dashboard, you will then be able to compare it to your Personal Best (overall), Personal Best (current age group), Last meet, and Last time the event was swam.

    Here's an example of mine at PNA Champs (Pacific Northwest Regionals!) in April.

    4. NQT Dashboard now includes:

    a. A quick overview of which events you've hit an NQT, events that you haven't qualified for, and events you've raced but not within two years (in order to have a valid NQT, you must have raced that time in the last two years).

    Here's an example from my profile: https://www.tryopenlane.com/?swimmerID=005RJ&tab=nqt-compare&panel=status-needstime

    b. Events where you're close to qualifying in:

     

    c. World Masters Aquatics Championships Entry Compare for those who are aiming to swim at that (their time requirements are definitely less than USMS Nationals, though).

    Thank you all for the feedback, and please keep them coming!
