Field notes
The model uses published college meet results spanning 13 conferences and dating to 2010; the page says there are 1.1 million swims in its data. It describes dual-meet projections as using only swims earlier than the meet, with lineup rules including rest intervals and no swimmer racing three events in a row. The site reports a pilot result of 88% correctly identified winners across 51 duals from 2023–26; these figures are site claims, not independently verified here.
