Import Swim Results from USA Swimming, SwimCloud, SwimRankings
Quick summary: Connect your USA Swimming, SwimCloud, SwimRankings or RFEN identity and Swimer automatically imports all your official times, 50-splits and relay legs. Recalculates CSS and zones nightly. Free, unlimited, with verified federated badge.
Bringing your competitive history into a single app that updates itself after every meet is the first step toward having a professional athletic profile. Importing your USA Swimming, SwimCloud or SwimRankings results into Swimer turns that scattered history into actionable training data.
What exactly gets imported
- Individual times in every distance and stroke (50/100/200/400/800/1500 free, 50/100/200 back, breast, fly, 100/200/400 IM).
- 50 m splits from every electronically timed event.
- Relay leg times: your individual time within 4×100 free, 4×200 free, 4×100 medley, etc.
- Grouped meets: each meet with its events, venue, dates and course (LCM, SCM, SCY).
- Personal Bests with federated badge verified against the official source.
How SwimCloud and SwimRankings link to your CSS
When you import a 200 m freestyle and a 400 m freestyle from the same meet or training block, Swimer applies the Critical Swim Speed formula and updates your 6 intensity zones automatically. This means after every meet, your next AI-generated workouts already use the new target paces.
Cross-validation and badges
A time imported from an official source (USA Swimming, SwimCloud, SwimRankings, RFEN) earns a verified badge on your profile and in social rankings. This distinguishes them from manually entered times and increases trust within the Swimer community.
Multi-course support
Swimer keeps separate rankings and CSS for long course (50 m), short course meters (25 m) and short course yards (25 y). When an American swimmer imports SCY times alongside European LCM times, both histories coexist with course conversion factors.
Paso a paso
- Open Settings → Federated identity — From your Swimer profile, access the federated identity section and select your primary source (USA Swimming, SwimCloud, SwimRankings or RFEN).
- Link your license or ID — Enter your USA Swimming ID, SwimCloud ID, SwimRankings URL or RFEN license. Swimer verifies the match in seconds.
- Wait for first import — The first sync downloads your full history. It takes 30-60 seconds for swimmers with hundreds of times.
- Review and confirm your times — They appear on your profile with a federated badge. Splits, relays and meets are automatically linked.
- Activate automatic sync — From there, Swimer updates by itself after every official meet. No further action needed.
Preguntas frecuentes
Which federated sources does Swimer support?
Swimer imports from USA Swimming, SwimCloud (USA and worldwide), SwimRankings (Europe and worldwide), RFEN (Spain) and LEN/FINA data. This covers 95% of federated swimmers in the world. If your federation isn't listed, you can add times manually.
Are 50-splits also imported?
Yes. Swimer captures the final time, every 50 m split for each event, and individual leg times in relays (when officially timed). This lets you analyze pacing and consistency, not just final results.
How often is data refreshed?
Automatic sync runs nightly. After an official meet, your times typically appear within 24 h once the federation publishes the result sheet. You can also force a manual refresh from your profile.
Do imports also affect my CSS and zones?
Yes. Every time a 200 m or 400 m freestyle time is imported, Swimer recalculates your CSS and all intensity zones automatically. Your next workouts will use the new paces without any manual action.
