Once the meet starts, you can relax!
The Time Drops® system knows all the details of your meet, so your only job is to watch the meet progress and make adjustments, if there are last minute changes. We used years of experience to reduce repetitive tasks, and let you focus on what matters most: watching the race!
- No need for per-heat paper slips or runners. The results flow automatically to your laptop for import in the meet management system
- The system knows if there are empty lanes, you only need to mark unscheduled no-shows
- Fix early or missed button pushes with a simple swipe
- Control your meet from a wireless tablet with touch screen interface
- Automatically progress to the next heat or event
- The buttons are always armed and will never miss a start or finish, and you can always make corrections after the fact if needed
- Smart logic detects the most common errors and fixes them on the fly
If you need to make changes to your meet, such as adding swimmers or heats, don't worry. Just export the updated program from your meet management program at any time, even while a race is in progress. The system will update automatically

Accurate Times
The timing controller uses a swiss-made temperature-compensated precision clock with less than 0.01 s/hour deviation. Our proprietary radio transmission protocol will synchronize all the buttons to the central clock with an accuracy of better than 1/10,000th of a second. The races are started centrally from the start device, eliminating the delay which occurs with manually started stop watches.
Exceptional Battery Life
Our buttons and start adapters use the most advanced, ultra-low power, long-range radio modules available.
A single CR2032 coin cell will run for > 500 hours, good for several seasons. Additionally, our app will constantly monitor the battery health of all the devices and give you advance notice of any needed replacements.
Just push the button!
Our wireless buttons don't need explanation. Just push as the swimmer touches the pool wall. Nothing to configure, reset or clear
Multiple start options
Our start adapter works with common swim start systems from major vendors. Or, just use an extra button to start the race
NEW: Our wireless mini-starter can drive an external powered speaker and can both serve as a bullhorn and integrated start beeper.
Touch-screen control
The whole system is controlled with an easy-to use touch screen interface from a tablet. The tablet works wirelessly, so you can move to the best position where you can see the pool
Hands-off operation
Once the meet program is loaded into the tablet, the meet can be run mostly without any intervention. Only touch the system in case of false starts, last-minute added swimmers and other exceptions.
