Various embodiments provide a system including connected system nodes, the system configured to provide timing and scoring for aquatic sports in pools. The spatial location of the nodes relative to the pool and pool reference points may be retrieved from the system and representations can be created. The representations may be used to first select the desired nodes for one or several sports events and then execute those sports events with the selected nodes. Electrical connections may be made from materials that withstand aggressive pool chemicals, such as titanium, Hastelloy or Inconel.

System for timing and scoring aquatic sports in pools

A horizontally mounted connector deckplate for swimming pools to connect swim timing devices and other devices with electrical contacts with potential difference mounted on slopes integrated into the body of the deckplate. These integrated slopes cause corrosive pool water that is splashed on the deckplate, which creates water bridges between electrical contacts, to flow off through gravity, overcoming the water surface tension. Therefore electrolytic currents through the water bridges are greatly reduced, reducing corrosion of the electrical contacts of the deckplate. In addition corrosion resistant materials such as titanium are used for the electrical contacts.
