Timing Solutions for Swimming & Triathlons

Swimming races demand accuracy and present unique logistical hurdles. ITS complements and extends aquatic event timing – especially for integrating swim legs into multi-sport events or providing finish-line verification. From triathlon swim legs to open-water races to high-speed cameras for finish-line video review.

Triathlons and Open-Water Races

In triathlons or any race combining a swim with other segments, Jaguar offers a seamless timing experience across all disciplines.

Water-Resistant & Multi-Read Chips

Neutrally buoyant, water-resistant T-Chips worn on a wrist or ankle strap. Unaffected by submersion and movement. Jaguar readers read chips reliably even in chaotic swim exits.

Streamlined Transitions

Timing points at swim exit and bike mount line provide separate transition times (Swim-to-Bike). Valuable data for athletes, gives organizers live event visibility. Automatically calculated – hands-off timing with rich data.

Live Tracking in Multisport

Loved ones see when their athlete finished the swim and got on the bike in real time via app or text. For long-distance triathlons, turns the waiting game into an interactive experience for spectators.

Open-Water Race Timing

Deploy a finish mat on beach or ramp with confidence that swimmers' finishes are recorded reliably without human timers. Simplifies organizing and lets focus be on safety and athlete experience, not wrangling stopwatches.

POOL

Enhancing Pool Competitions and Training

Supplementary tools that add value to pool swim meets and team training programs – from high-speed analysis to backup timing.

PhotoVision for Finish-Line Verification

Professional-grade photo-finish camera system for visual verification of close swim finishes at the pool deck or open water. Captures up to 1,000 frames per second.

Backup Timing & Live Results

Jaguar provides a reliable secondary timing record, with swimmers wearing T-Chips on a wrist or ankle strap. Results publish to ITS YOUR RACE after each heat β€” parents follow from home and athletes see their times on the app.

Triathlon Pool Swims

Perfect for local triathlons using pools with staggered starts. Capture split times and finish times as swimmers pass antennas at transition areas or finish lines. Makes organizing pool triathlons much easier with multiple athletes at once.

Visibility in Open Water

Know exactly who has finished the swim leg as it happens. Live split reads give organizers clear visibility into participant progress, giving organizers live visibility into finish progress.

RELIABILITY

Reliability and Ease for Organizers

Our aquatic timing solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly without interfering with the flow of your event.

Minimal Interference

Athletes often don't notice they're being timed – just run over a mat or past a base. No disruption to transition flow or finish line chute, maintaining smooth experience.

Data Unification

Using ITS for all legs means all timing data in one place. No juggling different systems for swim, bike, run. Unified approach reduces errors and automates results compilation.

Weatherproof Aquatics Gear

All gear near water is weather-resistant and handles splashes or continuous rain. Readers sit in weather-resistant enclosures with FGA-1500 folding antennas positioned near transition areas. No safety hazards, no water damage.

Quick Turnaround

Once final athlete exits water, swim times are ready – printed for announcers or posted online by the time athletes are on bikes. Keeps everything on schedule and professional.
