Swim coaches are often
faced with a dilemma while planning swim meets. On the one hand, they want to
maximize their chances of winning the meet, but they also want to ensure that all
swimmers have an opportunity to compete. Trying to find the perfect balance
between the two can be tedious and time-consuming – many coaches spend as much
as twenty hours per week writing meet sheets, on top of their normal coaching
schedules. The software packages currently in wide use (namely HyTek’s TeamManager) offer little to no algorithmic
assistance to coaches for planning meets.
MeetPlanner will make the meet planning process much simpler by supplementing
the functionality offered by TeamManager. It will eliminate the repetitive
aspects of planning a swim meet, while still allowing coaches to retain
fine-tuned control over their meet sheets. MeetPlanner will
help coaches plan meets in significantly less time, allowing coaches to spend
less time planning and more time coaching
