Doral Central Park Chooses Championship-Caliber Swim timing and Outdoor LED Video Scoreboard

When the City of Doral set out to create a premier destination for recreation, wellness, and community connection, every element of its new Aquatic Center needed to reflect that vision—including its competitive swimming technology.

Located within the 78-acre Doral Central Park, the state-of-the-art Aquatic Center features a 50-meter Olympic-size competition pool, training pool, leisure pool, splash pad, grandstand seating, and supporting amenities. Designed to serve local schools, universities, competitive swim teams, and the wider community, the facility provides a high-quality environment for athletes to train, compete, and achieve their best. The City describes Doral Central Park as the “crown jewel” of its parks system and its largest public space to date.

Why Choosing the Best Swim Timing System Matters 

At a competition-caliber pool, accurate timing is essential. 1/100th of a second can determine a personal best, qualifying time, record, or race result. That is why selecting the best swim timing system is not simply an equipment decision—it is an investment in athletes, meet operations, and the long-term reputation of the facility.

Doral Central Park selected Colorado Time Systems’ Gen7 Serial swim timing system. The facility’s comprehensive timing and scoring solution also includes AquaGrip® touchpads, Relay Judging Platforms, titanium deckplates, pace clocks, and related competitive swimming equipment.

Together, these components help provide:

• Accurate and dependable race results
• Efficient meet operations
• Clear communication among officials, coaches, athletes, and spectators
• A professional competition experience
• A scalable foundation for future programs and events

The Gen7 Serial platform connects timing components through an intelligent serial architecture designed to simplify connectivity and deliver reliable performance. This integrated approach gives Doral Central Park's facility operators confidence that each part of the system is working together—from the starting signal and touchpads to the official results displayed for the audience.

An Outdoor LED Video Display Built for the Environment

Doral Central Park features a 12mm full-color outdoor LED video swimming scoreboard measuring approximately 12.5 feet by 21.3 feet to keep spectators informed and engaged.

Outdoor aquatic environments present demanding conditions. Bright sunlight, heat, humidity, rain, and continuous exposure to the elements can challenge display equipment that was not designed for long-term outdoor use. Colorado Time Systems’ outdoor LED video displays are engineered with these conditions in mind, combining high-quality components, rugged construction, and excellent visibility.

The large-format display gives the facility the flexibility to present:

• Live race times and results
• Athlete and team information
• Event schedules and announcements
• Facility branding and sponsor recognition
• Custom graphics, animations, and video content

High visibility is especially important at an outdoor pool, where sunlight and long spectator viewing distances can make ordinary screens difficult to see. A purpose-built LED video scoreboard provides the brightness, size, and clarity needed to deliver information throughout the venue.

Technology That Supports a Lasting Community Investment 

Doral Central Park created a long-term investment in the health, recreation, and quality of life of the community. Its Aquatic Center reflects that same forward-looking approach.

By choosing a proven Gen7 swim timing solution and a durable outdoor LED video display from Colorado Time Systems, the facility is equipped to support daily training, local school and university programs, community activities, and competitive events for years to come.

When planning a new competitive pool, choosing the best swim timing system and a high-quality aquatic video display matters. The right technology protects the integrity of every result, simplifies meet operations, enhances the spectator experience, and helps the facility achieve its full potential.
