SwimClubMeet.exe (SCM) is an application that manages you members and runs your club-nights. It's 'extremely simple' to use!
It's part of an eco system of applications that make up the SwimClubMeet project.

This GitHub repository is Version 1 of SwimClubMeet (Current). It uses the SwimClubMeet MSSQL dataBase version 1.1.5.3.
It supports timing devises TimeDrops and Dolphin Timing System (Support applications - SCM_TimeDrops, SCM_DolphinTiming).
Version 2 of SwimClubMeet is in development... repository - SCM_SwimClubMeet2. A work in progress, it takes SCM to a new level.
To get started all you need is a laptop and printer. Download three applications. MicroSoft's SQLEXPRESS (the database server), SCM_SwimClubMeet-R and SCM_BuildMeAClub-R. Install the database server. Install/run SCM_BuildMeAClub-R to create the SwimClubMeet database. And finally install/run the core application SCM_SwimClubMeet-R.
SCM lets amateur swimming clubs store member data, create sessions, events, nominate members to events, auto-build heats (and manually), print marshal and timekeeper sheets, record race-times and create session reports. (Currently, over 20 reports can be printed.) And much more.
With the addition of Wi-Fi and Marshal and TimeKeeper support applications, you can run paperless.
Fix nomination bottle neck by adding more PC's or use the Nominate application for members to self nominate.
SCM uses MS SQLEXPRESS, which is free to use (it is accessible to a wide range of users for both personal and professional purposes). This means you have full ownership of your data. Another feature, you don't need an internet connection. One less subscription.
Included in the install is Help for SCM. It has a handy Getting Started section. (Though to be honest, it's a little bit out of date. It's on my to-do-list.)
To learn more about SCM view the github pages.
If you are interested in following a developer's blog and track my progress then you can find me at ko-fi.
Written in Delphi using Embarcadero's RAD Studio 12.3. FastReport VCL components are used for reporting. Database access is done with FireDAC (included in the enterprise edition). All SQL scripts have been written to be compatible with MS SQL EXPRESS 2017 and up. The release version is 32bit due to the limits of FastReport.
To compile this project you must also clone the Artanemus/SCM_SHARED repo.
FYI: Database design was done with ERStudio.
After install, by default, an icon is placed on the desktop. If you elect to disabled this, type swim in the windows search bar to discover it. Else navigate to the Artanemus folder on the start bar. (All SCM applications and utilities are located in this folder.)
The application will ask you to login to the database. It's suggested that you first enter your members into SCM. Use the Help for SCM manual for the next steps.
Use Windows Apps and Features to remove the application.
