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.
Mason has been leading teams creating innovative software products for more than 20 years. He was Chief Technology Officer at OneSpot and Chief Technologist at Frog Design, where he created web and software solutions for clients including Microsoft, HP, Dell, Motorola, SAP, Disney and T-Mobile (among others). Mason was a year-round swimmer and captain of his high school swim team and was an active volunteer for his neighborhood summer league swim team for 15 years.
Chris loves leading teams to build software which delights its users. He discovered his affinity for code while creating software for semiconductor test equipment. He has been the solo developer for shoestring budget startups and the project lead for multi-million dollar projects at a Fortune 500 company.
