About Us

The team at SwimTopia has decades of combined experience with swim and sports teams, we understand just what it takes to run a swim program.

We want to solve more headaches for the swim community, and solve them better than they’ve been solved before. We strive to help make the sport of swimming easy, fun and accessible.

Our Story

SwimTopia was originally created in 2010 by Mason Hale after he was recruited to be the “computer guy” for his kids swim team. Mason was astonished to discover how time-consuming and hard running a swim team really was. Disappointed by available solutions, he was determined to save time and frustration for himself and others. Born from Summer League swimming roots, SwimTopia was designed to be intuitive and easy-to-use, and to save swim coaches, administrators, and volunteers time and effort.
