Open water swim photos, found by cap number
In the water a swimmer is a cap and an arm. The cap number and the body marking are read, so swimmers find their photos from open water races, swim runs and pool events.
Where the number is read
- Read
- Swim cap, body marking on the arm, hand, shoulder or calf, a bib or race belt before or after the swim.
- Ignored
- Lane numbers, buoys, distance markers, timing displays, banners, numbers on boats and buildings.
- Valid list
- Add your numbers and only those count.
Faces under water
Selfie search works where the face shows, usually at the start and the finish. The timeline lets swimmers browse by the time of their wave.
Kayak, SUP and rowing
Numbers on boats and boards are not read. Pick Other when you create the event: selfie search and the timeline find the photos, and you can tag a photo by hand.
Photos come in by camera FTP, a cloud folder or the browser, and participants search minutes after upload, on your website or through a link. How it works for organizers and photographers
