What parents are usually trying to work out
After a gala, the questions come quickly: was that a personal best, how much faster is needed for a county consideration time, is a regional consideration time in reach, and which events should we focus on next?
Poolside Progress puts those answers in one calm place for UK swim families.
Swimming times
Keep personal bests, recent race results and progress visible so you can see what is improving.
Consideration times
Compare against county consideration times and regional consideration times, with the gap shown clearly.
Gala-day planning without guesswork
Race day is easier when you already know the events, the recent times and the targets that matter. Poolside Progress is designed to help parents arrive at the pool with a clearer picture.
- See progress across events and strokes.
- Understand gaps to published county and regional targets.
- Use a simple gala-day view instead of scattered notes and screenshots.
Poolside Progress is independent and is not affiliated with any swimming governing body, county association or competition organiser.

Quick questions
Does a consideration time guarantee entry?
No. Consideration times help competitions manage entries and help swimmers understand likely targets, but they do not guarantee acceptance.
Is this only for county-level swimmers?
No. It is useful whenever a parent wants a clearer view of swimming times, progress and what target might come next.
