Heat Guardian

Heat sheets, times & cuts

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Find any meet near you, follow the heat sheet live, and know the moment your swimmer is up - with cuts and records that keep up with the season. Heat Guardian is the calm, ad-free companion for swim meet day — built for the parents, swimmers, and coaches who want the whole meet in their pocket. Import a meet's heat sheet (upload the PDF or paste a public link) and instantly see every one of your swimmers' events on one clean page — event, heat, lane, and seed time — organized by day and session. No more flipping through pages on the pool deck. FEATURES • Heat sheet import — upload a PDF or paste a link; your swimmers' events are pulled out automatically. • Meet-day home — everyone's races by day and session, with heat, lane, and up-next order. • Time standards & cuts — the motivational grade for each event and exactly how much to drop for the next cut and championship qualifying times. • Splits & pacing — plan goal splits and time each swim on deck with the live split timer. • Live results — paste a meet's live-results link and watch times overlay as they post. • Swimmer profiles — look up any competitive swimmer for their best times, motivational standards, and recent meet results; follow your own kids and the ones to chase. • Find a meet — search meets by name or region. • Private by design — your swimmers and data stay on your device. No accounts. No ads. Ever. Free to use. If Heat Guardian helps on meet day, an optional tip keeps it going. Not affiliated with any swim governing body, timing company, or results app. Always verify event, heat, and lane against the official posted heat sheet before a race.

Find a meet near you, anywhere in the country. Heat Guardian now reads the published meet calendar of every USA Swimming LSC, so hundreds of upcoming meets are searchable by name, by state, or by how far they are from where you are standing. No account, nothing to set up. Some meets get listed by their venue without a town. Rather than hide those, the app shows what it knows and lets you add the location yourself in about five seconds - and your answer goes live for every family looking at that meet, not just for you. Championship goals now understand that a season ends. When the championship you were chasing finishes, the app moves you to the next one, which is the opposite course about six months later. And when it cannot work out a target time yet, it shows "-:--" instead of quietly leaving last season's number on the screen. Times your swimmer has already earned are never touched. Your swimmer's age now comes from the heat sheet itself. Before, an age typed in once never moved, so the first birthday after that could grade an 11-year-old against 10 & Under standards. Also: find your club and bind the short code it prints on heat sheets, or paste your team's website if it is not listed yet.
