Swim meet and school carnival timing in the ACT.
From a Canberra club night to a School Sport ACT carnival, EasyMeet turns the phones already on deck into synchronised timing, with no gear to hire.
A compact competitive scene with a wider reach
Swimming ACT's footprint is often described as extending beyond the territory itself, taking in nearby NSW border towns such as Goulburn and Queanbeyan alongside Canberra's own clubs. That gives ACT club nights a slightly different flavour to a single-state association: a roster can include swimmers who train across the ACT/NSW border, all competing under the same association. The scene itself is compact by national standards, which generally makes for a well-run, predictable club night calendar.

The School Sport ACT pathway
School Sport ACT runs its swimming pathway as school carnival, then a regional carnival, then the ACT carnival or trials, then on to School Sport Australia at the national level. Age groups are generally split into 10 to 12 and 13-plus brackets, a simpler structure than some of the larger states' multi-tier pathways, reflecting the ACT's smaller number of schools overall.

A smaller scene, run tightly
Because the ACT's school and club scene is smaller than a full state, carnivals tend to be run by a small, often very experienced group of volunteers and officials who know the pathway well. That is an advantage for organisation, but it still leaves the actual timing job unchanged: a lot of races, in a short window, with results that need to be right the first time.
Where EasyMeet fits in the ACT
EasyMeet suits a Canberra club night or an ACT-wide school carnival the same way: phones already on deck become the timing system, with no touchpads to buy or hire for what might be a once-a-year event. A swimmer who trains across the NSW border and races under Swimming ACT gets the same result either way, a hundredth-of-a-second time averaged from two independent taps, with results exported and ready as soon as the carnival finishes.
- No timing gear to buy or hire for a once-a-year carnival
- Works the same whether the roster is ACT-only or crosses the NSW border
- Results exported and ready before everyone has left the pool

ACT questions
Does Swimming ACT only cover the territory itself?
Its reach is often described as extending a bit further, taking in nearby NSW border towns such as Goulburn and Queanbeyan alongside Canberra's clubs. EasyMeet works the same either way.
What age groups does School Sport ACT use?
Generally 10 to 12s and 13-plus, a simpler split than some larger states run, reflecting the ACT's smaller number of schools.
Does EasyMeet suit a smaller association like the ACT's?
Yes. EasyMeet is priced per club night or per club, not per swimmer, so a smaller association gets the same features as a much larger one.
Can EasyMeet import our Swim Central nominations?
Yes. Drop in the HY3 export and the whole program, every event, heat and lane, builds itself and matches against your roster.
Do we need any timing gear for an ACT carnival?
No. EasyMeet runs on the phones your club or school already has, so there is nothing to buy or hire for a once-a-year carnival.
