The swimming coach's stopwatch

Time every swimmer in the lane. Not just the wall clock.

Swimmers leave the wall on staggered intervals, so one clock can't give them all an honest time. Brainzie Poolside times each one individually — across the whole lane, every rep — straight from your phone.

Four tools, one app

Built for the side of the pool.

Big tap targets for wet thumbs, high-contrast in bright light, and the screen stays awake while you time. Every time is captured at the tap — the display never affects accuracy.

Group set

Send a whole lane off on 5–10s intervals and tap Stop for each swimmer as they finish. Every swimmer gets their own accurate time, ranked within the heat and overall — up to eight lanes.

My session

Follow one swimmer through a whole training session — splits per length, rest between reps and sets, swim-to-rest ratios, and a tidy summary you can share. Pick up where you left off if you close the tab.

Race

Split a single race length by length, with underwater times and surface speed, a dive-aware projected finish, and pacing against a target. Miss a touch? It's folded back in so your total and average stay exact.

Gym guide

A swim-optimised strength guide: each lift paired with the matching stroke phase, animated from several angles, showing which muscle fires and when — for freestyle and breaststroke.

Tap, time, share

Times are captured the instant you tap. Share a clean summary as an image or text when you're done.

Private by design

Your times stay on your device.

Poolside runs entirely in your browser. Your swim times never leave your phone — there's no account and nothing uploaded. The only thing we collect is anonymous usage counts (which tools get used, how often) so we know what to improve — never any times or personal data.
