Olly Timing is the first of a new generation of swimming timing system that dramatically simplifies and enhances competitive swimming competitions for coaches, organisers, volunteers, venues and athletes.
Timers are replaced by our advanced computer vision technology.
*based on a 10 lane pool.
Export times into Meet Manager
Times are available electronically in csv and Hy-Tek Meet Manager format for easy integration into the workflow trusted by your Officials.
Officials can also quickly and authoritatively resolve results queries via Olly Timing video replay.
Safe Sport aligned
Use of Olly Timing reduces the number of people on pool deck with direct access to swimmers. Olly Timing can integrate with your Safe Sport policy.
The camera(s) are located above or beside swimmers on the blocks (not behind). Video is captured in wide angle without the personal information of swimmers. Data is stored locally and deleted after 6 months once any results queries have been resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Olly Timing can operate at pools with up to 10 lanes. The core licence allows finishes at one end only.
You are welcome to contact us to discuss your facility. A completed Pool Information Form will assist us to answer your inquiry.
USA Swimming are currently evaluating Olly Timing.
In Australia, Swimming NSW (the largest State Swimming Organisation) accepts Olly Timing for all times except State records.
A full evaluation of Olly Timing accuracy is available here.
Olly Timing enables timers to be removed from pool deck. Touchpads are optional. A starting strobe will be placed on the pool deck. There may be some minor modifications to the results recording procedures used by officials.
If your event uses backstroke ledges then a small number of people will be required to manage those during backstroke events.
If your event is for inexperienced swimmers then it might help for a person to be stationed at the finish to request the swimmers leave the pool after the start of the next race.
Queries about results will now be swiftly and authoritatively resolved.
With OllyGo the meet can run at whatever pace you wish.
At venues using touchpad systems with junior swimmers when there are often several backup times required per heat, it may take a few additional seconds per heat to bring in backup times. Organisers have recognised this and not found it to be a significant issues for them.
Touchpad system integrations will further accelerate pace in future.
Results can be delivered electronically straight into Meet Manager software, or as csv files for importing into a spreadsheet.
At venue with touchpads, backup times are provided direct to the primary timing system operator.
No technology is 100% reliable. To date Olly Timing has demonstrated reliability better than other systems.
Olly Timing uses high reliability security cameras which continuously archive all video. This can be used to replay events in case of system breakdown.
Yes. We recommend that any officials who have not previously worked with Olly Timing are fully engaged prior to ensure that they are comfortable with any modifications to their familiar and routine operating procedures.
When using OllyGo we prefer to arrive at the venue 2hrs prior to warm-up to allow sufficient time to offload and erect the cameras before the pool deck gets busy. If that is not possible then we may be able to prepare the day before.
Olly Timing can connect to Meet Manager which connects to Meet Mobile.
Not yet. This is on our development roadmap.
Everything except timers (and their food, Safe Sport compliance, etc)! You will continue to require Officials including Recorders.
You will also need (not supplied by us):
- Laptop (minimum specification 13th Generation i7 processor, 16GB memory, Windows 11, 512GB storage, 16” laptop ideally with non-touch screen, with HDMI and 3 USB B/C ports, Windows 11).
- Camera (Minimum specification 1920 x 1080 50fps RTSP stream, with lens giving desired field of view).
- Cabling, mounting and power supply.
- Starting device with synchronised light.
- Internet access for online training and support.
Ultimately that is a question for them. In our experience venue management are supportive once they understand how we ensure safety including safe sport.
