Compare Seasons lines up a swimmer's events across two seasons and shows the change in each, with World Points. Pick the seasons, then read the gaps.
What Compare Seasons shows you
One race can lie. A season cannot. Compare Seasons puts this season’s times next to last season’s, event by event, with the exact difference for each.
It is the cleanest answer to the question every swimmer and parent asks: are we actually moving forward?
Step by step
Open Compare Seasons
On your phone, select More, then Compare, then Season. On a computer, open Compare in the side menu, then Season.
Pick the swimmer and the seasons
The screen opens with the two most recent seasons: Season A is the latest, Season B the one before. To change the swimmer or the seasons, open Filters on a phone, or use the selectors at the top on a computer.
Narrow the view
Use the quick filters for course and stroke to focus on the events you care about.
Read each event row
Each row shows the best time from each season with its World Points, and the difference in seconds. A green number with a minus means Season A is faster. An event swum in only one of the two seasons shows a dash on the other side.
Open the detail
On a phone, select a row to see the date, meet, and World Points of both swims, and the chart. On a computer, click a row and the Progression Chart and Time History appear on the right.

Tips
- Compare the same course. An SCM season against an LCM season mixes pool types and muddies the read.
- Watch the points, not just the seconds. World Points make a 50 and a 400 comparable on one scale.
- A flat event is not a failure. Plateaus are part of a normal season; the full row of events tells the real story.
- Make it a ritual. An end-of-season pass through this screen beats reacting to any single meet.
Common questions
Is Compare Seasons free?
Yes. Compare Seasons is free with a free Gophin account, like every other screen.
How does Gophin show whether a swimmer improved between seasons?
It lines up the same events across two seasons and shows the difference in seconds for each one, with World Points next to every time. With the latest season as Season A, a green minus means this season is faster, so progress is visible event by event.
Should I compare seasons in different pool courses?
Better not to. Comparing an SCM season against an LCM season mixes pool types and muddies the read. Use the course filter to keep both seasons on the same course for a clean comparison.
