Swimming
Some of our satisfied customers
World Cup or training pool - Facilities trust us when it comes to quality and support.
For over 30 years, we have been supplying technology for swiming. We have solutions that are tailored to your specific needs, wheter you have an Olympic pool or a 4-lanes training facility.
Solutions for swimming
We have a full range of different timekeeping equipment for swimming, including everything from solutions for new olympic pools to smaller mobile systems for local club competitions.
Are you considering investing in a new video wall or numerical scoreboard for your facility?
We have long experience of the special environment in swimming facilities and a complete range of products which are developed specifically to be used in these demanding conditions.
We have made software solutions for swimming since the early 90s and our latest system is called WinGrodan 2. The system is developed by us who run the competitions and it is currently smarter and better than ever.
We offer several services and platforms that connect to WinGrodan 2, such as Sport In The Box 2 for graphics, Tempus for online statistics and entry, Superlive for streaming and many more.
We offer complete video and streaming systems for your event or facility.
We offer fixed network cameras, dome cameras or TV production cameras which means that you can produce your event in a simple and cost effective way.
Over the years we have worked with a lot of different projects and gained a broad knowledge of large scale professional productions as well as smaller hobby productions.
Our starting blocks from Swiss Timing are already installed in many facilities today. They are available in three main versions, Omega OSB 11, Omega OSB 14 and Omega OSB12. All of these are also available with or without connection for timekeeping.
We have several different types of training systems for swimming, including everything from digital pacing clocks to fully automatic training systems that are used with touchpads.
Timekeeping equipment
Fixed installation
Whether a facility is being renovated or a new one is being built our recommendation is always to use a fixed installation. Fixed installation means to fix all possible parts of the cables and equipment in the facility, such as incorporating speakers and harness modules in starting blocks or in the basement.
Fixed installation means:
- Increased life span on the equipment
- Reduced rigg time
- Reduced cable tangle
- Less risk of problems during competition
You can get a fixed installation both as double or single backup and it can of course be combined with other products.
Since you need to make some intervention in the wall of the pool in order to install the fixed solution, we recommend that you consult us some time before you build or renovate your facility. This makes it possible for us to make sure that all documents for the preparations are correct so that extra work and cost are minimized from the start.
Mobile solution
The mobile solution is perfect if you have two facilities, for example one indoor and one outdoor pool, and you need to move the equipment between the two. It also works perfectly if you want to upgrade or replace your existing equipment and don't want to make any intervention in the wall of the pool.
Instead of having fixed connecting points in the starting blocks there are in this case harness modules placed behind or inside the starting block. This is where the plate, starting block, and buttons are connected. Then you simply connect from starting block to starting block and finally to the Quantum in the secretary. In addition there is a mobile speaker cabling from the starting unit that is placed behind the starting blocks.
During the competition everything works exactly like a fixed timekeeping system. There are also a number of hybrid solutions between fixed and mobile where you can choose to make some cables fixed while the rest of the equipment is mobile. Contact us and we will guide you to the best solution for your user scenario.
Semi-automatic solution
ATU-X timekeeping system is the perfect solution for smaller competitions. The system is fully compatible with the WinGrodan software and all results are transferred automatically to it. The system is also suitable as a backup-system and is ranned parallel with the main timekeeping system Quantum or ARES.
ATU-X equipment consists of five parts. The ATU-X timekeeping unit contains the system clock and logic. With a large backlit color display, the timekeeper gives an overview of the timekeeping status. ATU-X has an internal backup battery that provides safe operation and the system also comes with a backup printer that prints out information about the race.
The ATU-X unit is then connected to the WinGrodan computer with an USB cable and is controlled directly from WinGrodan which means that you can easily reset the system between the races and give a green light to the start.
Finally the system is also connected to the pool cabling which has nine inputs, one for each lane (1-8) and one for the starting input. A button is connected to each lane's input. The starting input can either be connected to a button or to an acoustic start system, for example IC Start.
The system can also be upgraded with an 8-row numeric scoreboard. This scoreboard can be connected via cable or wireless and you can of course also use it with a videoboard.
HSV Video system
A HSV (High Speed Video Camera) system is required at the largest competitions.
The system is a combined hardware and software solution for measuring finishing results with video images.
To achieve this you have cameras that shoot 100 frames per second for high speed precision. These cameras are either fixedly mounted in the ceiling of the facility or via a truss system (it is also possible to use mobile poles on which the cameras are mounted, but we recommend fixed mounting to simplify and speed up the rigging process).
The cameras are fully powered over PoE (Power over Ethernet) and connected to the control cabinet.
Video and result scoreboards
105 and 230 mm Numerical scoreboards
Our numerical scoreboards are available in two different digit sizes and as six, eight or ten lanes.
The 105 mm scoreboard is a perfect fit if you have a smaller facility, or as a complement to a video board in a larger facility to enhance the experience even more for the audience.
The scoreboards are constructed to be in the environment of swimming facilities, have a long life span and require minimal service. They can also be connected to our daytime clock to show time or temperature between competitions.
Video scoreboard 2m²
Our entry-level model of video board is 2m² and ideal for smaller swimming facilities with a few lanes and 25 meter pools.
The video screen is best mounted against a wall with an attachment at the top of the board. During a competition, the video board can show lane, placement, name, time and interim time. Besides showing the results and competition time, it can be used for advertising loops and swimming facility information.
Video scoreboard 7m²
Our 7m² video scoreboard gives the same possibilities as the 2m² video scoreboard, but it also provides an extended usage area as its higher resolution makes it possible to display video.
The size of this video scoreboard is optimal for a 25 meter pool but is also large enough to show results in a bigger swimming facility with a 50 meter pool.
This video screen is best mounted hanging from the roof with electric cain motors or on a shelf during new construction.
During a swimming competition this video scoreboard, in addition to information about lanes, placements, times, and names. It can also show live broadcasts and video of for example advertisements from sponsors.
When not used in a competition, this board can clearly display swimming facility information and advertising loops if desired.
Video scoreboard 11,25m²
Our 11.25m² video scoreboard gives you the same possibilities as the one of 7m² but is slightly larger.
Since this one has a slightly higher price per square meter than 7m² and 15m², we recommend you to choose this when you can't fit a 15m² or a 7m² becomes too small.
This video screen is best mounted hanging from the roof with electric cain motors or on a shelf during new construction.
During a swimming competition this video scoreboard, in addition to information about lanes, placements, times, and names, it can also show live broadcasts and video of for example advertisements from sponsors.
When not used in a competition, this board can clearly display swimming facility information and advertising loops if desired.
Video scoreboard 15m²
A 15m² video scoreboard is suitable for the larger swimming facilities where you want to be able to show advertising and results as well as high resolution video. The larger screen allows you to view live video with TV graphics of results over the image.
This video screen is best mounted hanging from the roof with electric chain motors. This board is able to show a professional graphic with both live graphics and result display during a swimming competition. We recommend this board for pools that have a higher competition status on the pool such as national championships.
Special solutions and larger scoreboards
Because our scoreboards are module-based and we can deliver customized solutions in the form of video walls and signs, whether they are going to be used in competitions or for advertising.
