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.
Product
One dashboard for the questions that come after every meet.
01
What time do they need next?
The closest qualifying target sits at the top of the dashboard with the exact gap to close.
02
How are they trending?
PB progression is shown against County, Regional and National targets without a spreadsheet.
03
What did the last race mean?
Plain-English race summaries help separate a step forward from a plateau or a rest-day swim.
04
Where do they stand?
Ranking context is coming later inside the private workspace, only where approved data is available.
