How Swimming scoring works
Swimming is not scored in points but by the clock: each swimmer's time is measured, usually to the hundredth of a second via the electronic touch-pad. Ranking runs from the shortest time to the longest. In relays it is the team's combined time that counts.
Match format
An event is a single race over a set distance (e.g. 50 m, 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 800 m, 1500 m). Major competitions are organised into heats, then semi-finals and finals depending on the number of entrants. The format (long or short course) affects the number of turns.
How to win
The winner is the swimmer (or relay) with the best time while complying with the rules of their stroke. Any technical infringement can lead to disqualification, which voids the result.
Recommended Score Zen setup
For swimming, Score Zen times the race automatically: start the clock, mark each swimmer's finish, and the lowest time wins. There is no score to enter and no point target. Compare finish times to rank the swimmers.
