Help and Tips for SWIMS

To meet Department development standards, the SWIMS user interface has undergone a redesign. Along with meeting these development standards, the additional goals of this redesign are to update SWIMS with a modern look, create a standardize layout, and to allow users to do and manage more in the SWIMS database.

New SWIMS User Interface

New SWIMS Interface User Guide

The NEW Swims Interface User Guide is a complete guide that can be used by a variety of SWIMS users (from DNR staff to the general volunteer). The ability to enter, edit, and delete data or see various areas of the SWIMS interface are dependent on the assigned user roles.

  • Note: It is recommended that you do not print this user guide. Updates may be made as modules are enhanced or altered for clarity.
