This morning as I see the clouds outside, I wante to remind you to take three minutes and download the Swimtopia weather app today. With the free-version of the SwimTopia mobile app, we’ll be able to communicate with you through push notifications—which is helpful when we need to get information out quickly, such as rain delays or weather alerts. This is the only way our team will communicate if we get a weather delay or cancellation.

To receive push alerts on your phone:

1. Download the SwimTopia Mobile App on the App Store or Google Play
2. Login with your SwimTopia login - this is the same login you used to register your child for the WB Armada. (You must have an activated login on the team site to log into your account on the app),
3. Confirm your app’s notification settings -- Go to the settings of the app and ensure that it’s set to pop-up on your screen (Android users: you may need to receive your first notification before you can edit this setting).

» Note: if you don’t download the app, you’ll still receive the alerts via email.

Another benefit of having the SwimTopia app is that we’ll be broadcasting the current event and heats during meets. You can see a live event/heat bar on your phone throughout the meet. No more missed swims!

Other features of the free-version of the mobile app include:

• Access to Meet and Job Signup pages from the app
• Notifications that Meet and Job Signup are open
• Your athlete's best times and time history
• Calendar view of upcoming meets and events
• Meet overview for your family (including swim events and volunteer jobs)
• Public Meet Search/Guest Mode (other family/friends can follow along without having an account)
• Post-meet Results for your family’s athletes (upgrade to Pro to see live results)

You’ll see prompts to upgrade to a 7-day free trial of the Pro version. UPGRADING IS OPTIONAL AND NOT REQUIRED. If you do you will get these additional features:

• Heat Sheets
• Heat/Lane Assignments and Estimated Start Times for your athletes' events on your family’s Meet Overview screen
• Estimated start times for all events that update as the meet progresses
• Upcoming Swim Reminders for favorited athletes
• Results notification alerts for your favorited athletes
• Live Results for all swimmers
• Team Scores (when utilized)

» Note: If you don't upgrade, you'll see the results load when the meet ends and the data has been imported to our site. 

Download the SwimTopia mobile app now to receive push alerts and other great benefits! Free on the App Store or Google Play.
