Meet Mobile 

 

Most of the meets we attend are using Meet Mobile to post psych sheets, meet programs, and results. This is an easy and convenient way for the meet host to communicate preliminary results (not official) swimmers and their families. 

 

Use of the app is up to the meet host and is not mandated by PVS or USA Swimming. It is a completely independent program and DOES NOT automatically sync results with USA Swimming’s SWIMS database or our Team Unify system. 

 

The times posted in Meet Mobile are not official times. Official times are certified by PVS and USA Swimming. We (Machine) do not have access to a meet in Meet Mobile unless we are the host team so we are unable to adjust times or post results after the end of a meet. Also, because Meet Mobile times are not official, meet directors will not go back into Meet Mobile to update times once the meet is concluded.

 

When we have information prior to a meet about the Meet Mobile, we will send it out to you. More often than not, meet hosts do not share this information in advance of meets.

 

If you are looking for your swimmer’s results from a meet, you can find those in Team Unify under your swimmer’s ‘meet results’ tab in their profile. You can also find all their times at usaswimming.org using the Individual Times Search function. The PVS website has all PVS meet results in PDF format.
