Common questions

What does Laps and Lanes follow?

The event, the time and the standard that time does or does not meet. Events is the spine, Competition covers meets and championships, Times & standards covers qualifying marks, Training & technique covers the work, and Swimmers & programmes covers athletes and clubs.

Are the times on the site official?

They are as reported. Every mark is credited to the meet, federation or publication that published it, and times are frequently amended after a race for touch pads, relay exchanges and disqualifications. The federation's own database is the authority.

Do you cover only elite swimming?

Mostly, but Training & technique and Swimmers & programmes take in club and college programmes as they are reported. What the site does not do is coach you, because a technique piece summarises what a published source said.

What sources does the site use?

From federation releases, meet results, university and club announcements and named publications, credited and linked in each piece. Nothing on the site is timed, recorded or verified here.

Who is behind the writing?

They are written with automated assistance from the source reporting and carry no personal byline, crediting the source publication instead. Nobody here is presented as a coach, an official or a swimmer.

Can I subscribe by RSS?

Yes, at /feed.xml, with every piece in publication order and no account required.
