Start with a private workspace focused on your swimmer's progress.

Beta feedback
Built with real beta feedback.
Approved comments from swimmers and swim families are used to shape the product before wider launch. No swimmer names, club names or private result data are shown.
Read more feedback“I really like that it feels private and low pressure. Swimming can already feel quite intense, especially when everyone is comparing times. PB Pathway is not another leaderboard. It just helps me understand progress without making it feel like a competition between families.”
“The qualifying time feature is the bit that would make me use it properly. Knowing the PB is helpful, but knowing how close that PB is to a County or Regional time gives it much more meaning. It turns the numbers into something I can actually understand.”
Built by swimmers and coaches
PB Pathway was created by Fil and Kate after years in competitive swimming and coaching. We built it to make PBs, race history and qualifying-time gaps easier to understand across a season.
Privacy-first
Built for swimmer progress, not public attention.
Swimmer profiles stay inside the private account. PB Pathway avoids social features, public swimmer profiles and pressure-led leaderboard language.
No public swimmer profiles
No public leaderboards
No social feed

Race analysis, workouts, competitions and season planning for UK competitive clubs. A coach reaches a swimmer only after the person managing that account approves it, and video for race analysis never leaves the coach's own device.
Race Lab
Tag a race from a video on your own device.
Analysis without video
A board time and counts from the lane.
Athlete 360
Bests, history and qualifying-time context.
