Virtual Swimming

Allen Stark
With no Nationals this year, USMS said they will have virtual events. I'm not sure how this will work. VR headsets are expensive enough, how much is a VR tech suit? Do they have them at Swimoutlet?
  • Question...how do I see results if I did not swim in the Virtual Championships?
  • Question...how do I see results if I did not swim in the Virtual Championships? If you have swim.com on your phone(having it on your computer is useless) go to the virtual meet on the USMS front page Scroll down to events Click an event Go to filter to choose age and gender Now you can see results for that event You are now in the swim.com app.To get another event you must go back to the USMS site Simple huh
  • Thanks Allen. Thatâ€Tms why I had problems...I donâ€Tmt have a smartphone! I had a 10 year old flip phone that I lost in Albuquerque at the Senior games...over a year ago. Never replaced it and donâ€Tmt really need it (except of course to get these results) but I will live without it.
  • Can someone help me understand the relationship between USMS and Swim.com, Swimoutlet.com, and Spiraledge? With the transition of the workouts, FLOG, Virtual Championships, etc., there is a concern about the privacy of the information being shared as well as the security. As a swimmer, I have the ability to "opt out" of Swim.com, but the CLUB I own still exists on their platform. Without my permission, I'm not sure that I am comfortable with that. Here was the press release from 2019: "As part of the partnership, Swim.com has added more than 1,300 USMS clubs to its platform, allowing non-USMS members to discover USMS clubs they may be interested in joining, and giving USMS members the ability to connect and compete with each other." Does anyone have any extra insight on this arrangement, and is there a USMS Committee that would have an understanding and oversight?
  • Can someone help me understand the relationship between USMS and Swim.com, Swimoutlet.com, and Spiraledge?Same answer to the same question you posed on your thread... Contact Jay Eckert in the national office. He can answer your questions. Or you can reach out to the Executive Committee.
