What Group Comparison shows you

Group Comparison takes a group, the swimmers you follow or any custom group, and ranks everyone’s best time for one event. The top three get medals, and every row shows the time, the meet, the date, and the World Points.

Change the event and the podium reshuffles. It is the fastest way to see who leads where inside your own circle.
