Setup volunteer devices properly prior to the swim meet huddle

Watch the video for instructions!

Given That

I am about to huddle the devices for the swim meet

I Want To

First ensure all devices are setup properly

Please make sure all volunteers have updated their Swimmingly App to latest app version! 

For more information on the latest version, please review Swimmingly's Device Compatibility HERE.

 

Watch the Device Setup Video (Step-by-Step instructions below)

 

  • Ensure you have a compatible device
  • Make sure you're device is on the latest version of the Swimmingly App

If you try and huddle a device still running a previous version of Swimmingly, you will get a huddle message that say, "incompatible version". If the Scorekeeper iPad is still running a previous version, ALL devices attempting to huddle with the latest version will receive a huddle error "incompatible version". Update all devices.

  • Open Swimmingly
  • Select your role and enable location services and enable local network

Location services allows the app to display the WiFi name during the meet, and Local Network allows your device to talk to other devices using Swimmingly.

On the 'Welcome' Screen:

  1. Double check you're on the latest version (it will display the version number).

  2. Make sure your device is connected to any of the following connections:
    • Cellular Service
    • WiFi
    • Bluetooth

Please note: Devices only need to be connected to one of the above connection points. However, as a best practice we recommend devices be connected to as many of the connection points as possible!
