Everybody Swims!!

Swimmers, this is a continuation of a topic from the 'Top Ten Link' thread I posted earlier. In that thread, there was a discussion about keeping track of ALL swim times, so that everyone could see how he/she was doing. This is an update on that project. At the start of long-course season, I volunteered to round up as many sanctioned meets for Jim Matysek as I could, to be put into the USMS searchable database, found at: www.usms.org/.../toptimes.shtml. I know of 49 meets (as of last weekend) that have had results posted to LMSC or Zone web sites. Of that number 44 are in the database, for a yield of about 90%. I would encourage each of you to usethis tool to see how you like it. It is not completely error-free since I had to manually-convert HTML files and Word documents for about half of all meets. I even hand-entered a couple of PDF files, which are the worst to deal with. Please let me know if you find any errors in what you see. I think this shows that we CAN archive all the meets with a bit of work. Certainly, it's managable for LCM and SCM courses -- maybe not yet for SCY. If you find this a valuable service, you can help by encouraging meet directors to submit their meet results to the USMS. Enjoy! Mel Dyck

    Croak, croak... Since Mel Dyck has disappeared, the SwimToad must pick up the slack for the searchable database. Going into the last big weekend of SCM competition, there are now 37 meets (of 46 known to the Toad) in the database. Most of the big ones are loaded, with the exception of the Nokia Southern Masters Champs; hopefully that will be done shortly. For those virtual and real swimmers participating in Bob Seltzer's virtual champs this coming weekend, you should be able to see what you need to do to conquer the competition. Good luck!
