Public Swimmer Search
Find any USA Swimmer by name or member ID — or share your own public profile with family, friends, and recruiters. Here's how it works.
For: Everyone
Why this matters
USA Swimming meet results are public record. The Public Swimmer Search makes them easy to find and share. Grandparents can bookmark a profile, college recruiters can browse times, rival swimmers can track their competition — and you can control exactly how your own profile appears.
Step-by-step
- 1
Go to /swimmers from any browser
The swimmer search page is at beyondtheblocks.io/swimmers. No account needed — this page is public, just like USA Swimming meet results are public.
- 2
Search by name or member ID
Type a swimmer's name in the search box, or paste their 14-character USA Swimming member ID. You can filter by LSC (your local state/regional code) and gender to narrow results. Results appear as you type.

Tap a swimmer to see their full profile
Every result card links to that swimmer's public profile. The profile shows personal bests by course, recent meet results, career progression, and — for Beyond the Blocks members — extra data like prediction accuracy and goal progress.
You'll know it worked when
You see a swimmer's name, LSC, club, age, and their times laid out clearly.

(For your own profile) Check your visibility settings
By default, swimmers 13 and older are publicly searchable (matching how SwimCloud handles public data). Under-13 athletes are hidden by default — parents can choose to enable public visibility. To change your own settings, go to Settings → Profile → Privacy.

Share your profile link
From your own profile on Beyond the Blocks, tap Share → Copy Link. You get a URL you can text, email, or paste anywhere. The person clicking it doesn't need an account to view.
