mobile application<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe application creates a social media connection between swimmers and helps them engage with the USA Swimming brand. Deck Pass users can opt to connect their accounts with Facebook to share their swimming milestones with their friends and family. Most importantly, Deck Pass is also a motivational tool that is designed to help guide to swimmers to achievements both in and out of the water. For example, if a swimmer swims a best time at a recent meet, they will automatically earn a digital patch celebrating their achievement.<\/p>\n
"USA Swimming has long had the ability to track our members' swimming times and rankings," said Jim Fox, USA Swimming Marketing Manager. "Deck Pass now gives us the opportunity to use that data in a way that is exciting, fun and beneficial for swimmers. We've created an easy way for swimmers to connect digitally while also tapping into the importance of what goal-setting and achievement means to swimmers."<\/p>\n
While Deck Pass times updates are automatic for USA Swimming members, the application is not just for them. Whether you're a recreational swimmer, a club swimmer or even a coach, Deck Pass has something for everyone! <\/p>\n
