Empower professional open water swimmers with data

Donation protected
Hey there! I'm Alex Meyer, a US Olympian and former professional open water swimmer. I'm proud to introduce the world's first and newly-redesigned comprehensive ranking system and data insights platform for professional open water athletes, a project that's been in the works since 2020.

The ranking system isn't just a concept; it's a game-changer. Utilizing an unbiased algorithm developed with input from athletes and coaches, it's earned respect and acceptance in the open water community. But that was just the beginning.

I've also created Open Water Insights (OWI), a groundbreaking data insights application that centralizes the sport's vital information, including results and rankings. OWI doesn't just collect data; it transforms it into powerful visualizations that help athletes and coaches understand their performance, track progress, and strategize for success.

Imagine being able to analyze race outcomes, compare athletes, and identify trends—all at your fingertips. OWI is not just a tool; it's a catalyst for empowerment and professionalization within the sport.

But to fully realize OWI's potential, I need your support. Your contribution will enable me to hire a software engineer to continue enhancing OWI's features, making it even more user-friendly and insightful. Together, we can elevate open water swimming to new heights and provide athletes and coaches with the tools they need to succeed.

Thank you for your generosity and support!

Special thanks to all who've contributed their time and expertise to building OWI—you're helping to shape the future of open water swimming.
