New Version 5 Highlights

Here is the list of new capabilities that are not in previous versions.

Drag and Drop from Member to Entries to Results in One Dialog

You can easily just drag and drop swimmers into events using the Explorer before or during the meet. They, automatically appear where you can then enter the the results during the meet.

Best Medley Selection

You can easily triage the entire team and find the best combination of swimmers already assigned to medley stroke events. WinSwim searches for the swimmers in the meet that will make up the fastest medley relay team. Using these swimmers, WinSwim will look at every combination until it finds the quickest medley relay team. You then can view the selected team and decide to commit to create this best medley relay team. Cool, huh!
