Getting started

This guide is for the people who run a meet — the desk, the clerk of the course, coaches, and parents reading results. If you’re standing up your own copy of Piranha, start with Hosting & Administration.

Signing in

Your league or club administrator creates your account and sends an invite link. Click it, set a password, and sign in. If you’ve lost the link, ask an administrator to send a new one (see Accounts & access).

Most read-only views — heat sheets, live results, the announcer view — are public and need no account. You only sign in to change things.

The dashboard

After signing in you land on the meet list. From here you can:

• open an existing meet to view or run it,
• create a new meet (if you have permission),
• jump to records and swimmer history.

Switching language

The language switcher is in the site header. The interface is translated into many languages; anything not yet translated falls back to English rather than showing a blank. The documentation works the same way.

What to read next

Follow the meet workflow in order, starting with Running a meet.
