Custom Times lets you add a swim by hand: a race not published yet, an informal meet, or a practice time. It never changes official records. Free, no limit.
What Custom Times is for
Most results in Gophin arrive automatically from official meet results. Custom Times is for everything else: a race whose results are not published yet, an informal meet, or a practice time you want to keep.
A custom time only affects your own view. Official records are never changed, and custom times stay hidden until you choose to show them.
Step by step
Open Custom Times
On your phone, select More, then Custom times. On a computer, Custom times is in the side menu.
Add a time
Select Add custom time and pick the Time type: Training / practice, Unofficial event, or Official race (a real meet whose results are not in yet).
Enter the swim
Pick the swimmer (from the swimmers you follow), then the event, course, time, and date. The form previews the World Points and the current PB. Additional details holds the meet name, round, place, notes, and splits.
Save and show it
Select Save custom time, or Save & add another. To see custom times in Best Times, Home, and the comparisons, turn on Include my custom times. They carry a Custom badge.
Where to find it
Free, with a free account
Custom Times is free, with no limit on how many times you add. You need a free Gophin account so your times are saved.
Tips
- Use Official race for unpublished meets. When the official time arrives, Gophin asks you to keep yours, use the official one, or keep both.
- Keep the date accurate. It is what places the swim correctly in the history.
- Practice times stay yours. Training and unofficial times are never replaced by official results.
Common questions
Are custom times mixed in with official results?
Only when you want them. Custom times are hidden until you turn on Include my custom times, and then they show with a Custom badge. Official records are never changed.
How many custom times can I add?
As many as you like. There is no limit.
Can I log practice times?
Yes. Choose Training / practice as the time type. Gophin is built around official meet results, so it is not a full workout log, but you can keep practice times next to race times.
What happens when the official result comes in?
If you saved the swim as an Official race, Gophin shows “Possible official match found” and lets you keep your entry, use the official time, or keep both.
