About Heat Guardian
Heat Guardian is the calm, ad-free companion for swim meet day, built for the parents, swimmers and coaches who want the whole meet in their pocket. Import the heat sheet, the psych sheet or the coach's entry list (upload the PDF or paste a public link) and every one of your swimmers' events lands on one clean page: event, heat, lane and seed time, grouped by day and session. No more flipping pages on a wet pool deck. WHAT IT DOES • Reads the sheet for you. Heat sheets, psycts all import. A seed-only sheet shows seedorder, and heats and lanes fill in the moment the real heat sheet is posted. • Meet-day home. Everyone's races by day and session with heat, lane, seed time and up-next order. Before the meet it is the plan; on the day it follows the meet. • Follow the heats. The whole meet lane by lane with your swimmers highlighted. Tap a heat off as it finishes and up next moves with it. • Cuts to chase. The next time standard for h there is to drop, championship qualifyingtimes included. • Splits and pacing. Plan goal splits beforenes on deck with the split timer. • Results that land. Import the results PDF, or paste a live results link while the meet runs, and every swum time, drop and new cut lands on the right swimmer. • Two pools at once. Big meets run two pools side by side. Pick the one you are standing at and up next counts within it. • Whole family, one page. Several swimmers, one meet, one view. Share a meet with another family by code. • Apple Watch and Lock Screen. The next swimstays in the bag. • Private by design. Your swimmers and meets stay on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking. • Eight languages. English, Spanish, Chineseese, French and Russian. Free. If Heat Guardian helps on meet day, an Heat Guardian is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any swim governing body, timing company, meet host or results app. Alane against the official posted heat sheetbefore a race.
