Hello Seals,

I wanted to send official word ahead of Saturday's meet that the Seals Technology Team has decided to move exclusively to SwimTopia's MeetMaestro platform for managing our home meets. We used the software in parallel with our old software at the first home meet, and it performed well, in fact exceeding our expectations both in terms of how much easier it was to use and in terms of the mobile app experience for all of the parents.

This means that you will want to install the SwimpTopia mobile app on your phone (both iOS and Android versions are available) prior to the meet on Saturday if you have not already done so, and want to take advantage of the following features:

• Easily get your swimmer ready for the meet Saturday morning
• Know what event/heat is in the pool in real time during the meet
• Get your swimmer's unofficial time results immediately after a heat
• and more...

Full disclosure: There is a $1.99/month charge for using the PRO version of the app, but there is a 7 day free trial, so if you have not already setup your trial you can use that this week and not be charged. If you have already used your free trial, please know you can cancel your PRO subscription before the end of your first month as June 8 is our final home meet, and thus the last time you will likely need the PRO version this season.

YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO USE THE APP. It is merely a convenience should you want to take advantage of it. We will still post results on the team site and Facebook after the meet.

Thank you for your patience as we make this technology transition. You can email [email protected] if you have any questions or feedback about this decision.
