Touchpad

A swim stopwatch that gets splits for multiple lanes at the same time.

Why?

We were sick of handling multiple stopwatches at once to get splits. So we built Touchpad — and it grew from there.

Time everyone

One tap per lane.

Tap a lane as each swimmer touches. Up to seven lanes at once, every split captured. Great for practices and meets alike.

Run the meet

Off pen and paper.

With Touchpad Team, scan the heat sheet or upload the meet PDF. Touchpad builds a queue of your heats in order, so you just work the list — no more scribbling splits in the margins.

Every split, in context.

Each split is compared to an ideal pace for the event based on data from elite swims.

Plan the work

Write and share workouts.

Write workouts in plain text, have them parsed, scored, and tracked over time. Share with other coaches or swimmers, even if they don't have the Touchpad app.

Instant feedback

Video on delay.

Turn a phone or tablet into a feedback device. Point it at the pool and stream with a 5–60 second delay next to an optional looping reference video.
