Swim Timers

Colorado Time Systems has three Swim Timing Systems:  Gen7 Swim Timing, our System 6 Timing Console, and the Dolphin Wireless Stopwatch Swim Timing. 

Your timing system is the most complex piece of competitive swim timing equipment you own. It seamlessly gathers all the crucial data and transmits it to your scoreboard, ensuring an athlete's accurate performance from start to finish.

Knowing how to operate your swim timer is something a few different people on your team should understand. Having multiple swim timing operators is always a good idea.
