ABOUT US

MEET RYAN & GARY

Years of managing club swim meets left us exhausted and frustrated with the available timing options. They were cumbersome and slow, some needed purchasing of new hardware and none of them had the flexibility and ease of use we required.

Then COVID came along… Swim schools were shut down and Gary’s wife Susie, who worked for Ryan as a swim teacher, alerted us to our common frustrations. We got together and realised that between us, with Ryan’s swimming domain knowledge and Gary’s tech skills we could actually do something!

We decided to develop a new system, leveraging the power of the device most of us already have in our pockets… our mobile phone. We developed an app based meet management and timing program from the ground up. Not a simple add-on program that still requires legacy software and hardware to function, but an entirely new, brilliantly functional,  easy to use, all-in-one App. 

RYAN is a mentor/coach/volunteer giving his all to many swimmers, young and old, each and every week. Ryan is the driving force of our company. It is his vision that has directed our company’s efforts. He spends his days on the pool deck as a swim coach at multiple sites in Brisbane, and he spends his weekends attending, organising or competing in swimming and other sports events. He knows what’s involved in running a successful swim club and brings his passion and insight to the Swim club connect App.

 

GARY is the father of three teenage kids all of whom have happy memories of their days playing and racing at their local primary school swim club.

Being the wife of the club president and an ‘IT Guy’ (a UI/UX designer and full stack app developer) Gary was naturally tasked with the hapless job of swim club registrar. That meant dutifully sitting in front of a Windows computer for several hours each week, using arcane software written in the 1990s, to set up swim meets and produce results that sometimes took several days to publish.

Let us show you how we could help your swim club today!
