What is SwimCloud?

SwimCloud is the reference database of American swimming: a results, rankings and recruiting platform that aggregates meet results for U.S. college and club swimming — and international results beyond — into searchable athlete, team and program profiles.[1]

What does SwimCloud provide?

Complete meet results and athlete time histories; team depth charts; national and international performance rankings through its proprietary Power Index, which rates swimmers on their best times across their top six events; and the college recruiting marketplace used by U.S. programs.[1][2]

What are SwimCloud's reach and standing?

SwimCloud is the standard data platform of college swimming: coaches recruit through it, rosters and results reference it, and each year more than 9,000 recruits from all 50 states and some 150 countries begin their college search there.[2][3]

Why does SwimCloud matter?

As an independent, comprehensive record of results and rankings, SwimCloud is the practical source for verifying a swimmer's times, national and world ranking position, and college performance — its athlete pages function as third-party documentation of a competitive career.[1][2]
