Stop retyping seed times the night before entries are due.
Lane4 fills each seed from the swimmer's best time, keeps the lineup for a club invitational or a high school dual, and puts Sunday's results next to previous best. Export the HY3, CL2, or SDIF the host asked for. If you coach both, each team keeps its own times.
Free for two coaches, on a club or a high school. No card to start. The host still opens the file in Meet Manager, SwimTopia, SwimCloud, or TeamUnify.
1
Bring in the event file
Import EV3, HYV, XLS, or a ZIP. Sessions, events, divisions, and qualifying times land on the meet. Dive events in a combined file stay off the swim entry board.
2
Mark who is going
Enter individuals with seed times from best times, staff relays, and scratch without deleting the row. A Saturday invitational and a Tuesday dual use the same lineup.
3
Send the file they asked for
Export HY3 or CL2 for Meet Manager, or SDIF when that is what the host asked for. Print the entries and a split sheet before you send it.
4
Bring results back
Import HY3, CL2, SDIF, or a ZIP. Previous best sits next to the new time. Turn on a time standard you entered — JO, sectionals, or a high school cut — to see who went under. Faster swims update best times. Unmatched rows stay visible.
The jobs that still take the evening before a meet.
A club invitational and a high school dual ask for the same work. Seed times, a lineup, and Sunday's results usually live in Team Manager, a spreadsheet, and a whiteboard that do not match.

How it goes nowRetyping them from a printout, last season's Team Manager, or a spreadsheet.
In Lane4The swimmer's best time fills the seed. You can still change it before you export.
Who is entered
How it goes nowA whiteboard, a group text, and the host's event file that do not agree.
In Lane4One meet. Read it in the order it is swum, or by swimmer when you check who has too many events.
The lineup
How it goes nowBuilding individuals and relays the night before entries are due.
In Lane4Individuals and relays sit on the meet. On Pro, leftover individual spots can fill from eligible best times. Relays stay as you staffed them.
Sunday's results
How it goes nowPasting the file into Excel so you can see who dropped time.
In Lane4Import the results. The new time sits next to previous best. Faster swims update best times.
The cut
How it goes nowKeeping JO, sectionals, or the high school standard in your head.
In Lane4Turn on a time standard you entered and see who went under on that meet. Pro lists the whole roster against it.
One team
The rest of the week lives on the same team.
Roster, calendar, workouts, progression, and analytics stay with the club or the high school you have open.
Send the file the host already knows how to open.
You build the lineup once. Meet Manager, SwimTopia, SwimCloud, and TeamUnify still get the interchange they already use.
