Parent feedback
PB Pathway is being shaped with feedback from swim parents during private beta. These comments are shared with permission and kept parent-focused, without child names, club names or private swimmer data.
Featured parent note
“I really like that it feels calm and private. Swimming can already feel quite intense, especially when everyone is comparing times. PB Pathway is not another leaderboard. It just helps me understand my child's progress without making it feel like a competition between families.”

Used to shape the product before wider launch.
No child names, club names or private result data.
“I used to have PBs in a spreadsheet, screenshots in my camera roll, and qualifying times saved in random places. PB Pathway brings it all together properly. After a meet, I can quickly see what changed, what they are close to, and what is worth keeping an eye on next.”
“The PB is only part of the story. What I really want to know is what that swim means. Are they getting closer to Counties? Is one event improving more than another? PB Pathway gives that extra context in a way that actually makes sense to a parent.”
“I really like that it feels calm and private. Swimming can already feel quite intense, especially when everyone is comparing times. PB Pathway is not another leaderboard. It just helps me understand my child's progress without making it feel like a competition between families.”
“At galas, I am always trying to work out whether a swim was a PB, how much time they dropped, or whether they are close to a qualifying time. Having that clearly on my phone would be so useful. It saves all the guessing and scrolling through old results.”
“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.”
“I do not want something complicated with loads of tabs and confusing graphs. PB Pathway feels simple enough to use straight away, but still gives the detail you need. It feels like it has been made for normal swim parents, not just people who love spreadsheets.”
“One race can feel amazing or disappointing in the moment, but it does not always show the full picture. PB Pathway helps you see progress across different events and over time. That makes it much easier to understand whether things are actually moving in the right direction.”
“I like being able to look ahead and see which events are close to a target. It makes the season easier to follow because you know what to watch for at the next meet. It gives parents a clearer picture without having to work everything out manually.”
“Swimming already comes with enough admin, travel, entries and planning. PB Pathway takes away one of the annoying jobs by keeping times and progress organised in one place. For me, the value is in how much time and confusion it saves.”
“It feels like it has been built by someone who actually understands swimming families. The small details matter, like keeping it private, making PBs easy to check, and showing progress in a way parents can understand. It already feels genuinely useful.”
