What Best Times shows you
Best Times is the home of a swimmer’s records. Each row is one event. SCM (25 m) and LCM (50 m) sit side by side, with World Points under the time and a standard column for the cut you are comparing.
Select a time and the chart opens beside the table on a computer. A line that climbs means the swimmer is getting faster, because faster times plot higher. The Evolution tab is that same chart on its own page.

Read the row
Each row is one event. SCM (25 m) and LCM (50 m) are columns, with the time and World Points in each. The standard column says whether that course is under the cut.
Open the chart
Select a time. Chart, Splits, Times, and Standards open for that swim. On a computer the chart sits on the right. Faster times plot higher.

The Evolution tab is the same progression on its own page, with the event filter and the swims listed under the chart. Best Times keeps the chart beside the table. The Goals tab, on the same row, is how far each event is from the main standard. How to read Goals.

Tips
- Check every course type. A best can hide under SCM, LCM, or SCY.
- Read the chart, not one swim. The trend across many races tells you more.
- A plateau is information. A flat stretch often comes right before the next drop.
- Turn a time into a target. Pair a best with Standards to see how close it is to qualifying.
Common questions
How do I find a swimmer's personal bests in Gophin?
Open Times. Best Times lists one row per event, with the SCM and LCM bests side by side and World Points under each time. Select a time to open the chart.
Do times I add by hand show up here?
Only if you want them to. Turn on My custom times and the times you entered by hand appear next to the official ones.
Why do SCM and LCM sit in different columns?
Each pool keeps its own best, so a 25 m time is not mixed with a 50 m time. The Pool filter narrows the table when you want one course.
