Revolutionizing Aquatic Events with Nevco Aquatic Solutions & Alge-Timing
Considering upgrading your aquatic timing and display systems at your school or venue? Here is what you need to know about partnering with Nevco and Alge-Timing – and why it is the best choice for your aquatic facility.
As Nevco continues to grow and expand solution offerings for the athletic market, partnering with Alge-Timing to dive into aquatic solutions was a logical next step to better serve the sports of swimming, water polo, diving, and artistic swimming. Alge-Timing is based in Austria and has been in the electronic sports timing industry for over 50 years. Throughout their years they have been known for their state-of-the-art technology, reliability, and easy to use products. This partnership is seamless and combines advanced aquatic timing solutions with state-of-the-art scoring systems for venues all over throughout North America.
Why Alge stands out
When it comes to timing systems, precision and speed are crucial. Alge touchpads are renowned for their rugged grip surface, which not only enhances the swimmer’s performance but also ensures the most accurate touch response in the industry. This top-notch grip allows our touchpads to be the fastest available, ensuring that every second counts during a race.
One of the biggest advantages of Alge’s timing systems is their integrated design. Unlike traditional systems that use multiple components, Alge offers a fully integrated solution. This means that all components are seamlessly connected, creating a more reliable system overall. If any part of the system experiences an issue, nothing will start until everything is functioning correctly. This fail-safe approach minimizes the risk of errors and ensures smooth operation throughout every event.
Alge’s commitment to innovation means that our timing systems are at the forefront of technology. Our systems are not just about precision; they are designed to handle the rigorous demands of competitive aquatic sports. From state-of-the-art touchpads to sophisticated timing software, Alge provides a comprehensive solution that meets the needs of both athletes and event organizers.

Partnering with Nevco enhances the Alge experience even further. Nevco’s reputation for quality and service complements Alge’s innovative technology, offering a combined solution that is both reliable and user-friendly. By partnering with Nevco, our clients are guaranteed top-tier support and access to the best timing technology available.
Meet our Aquatics Expert
Randy Flint, Nevco’s Aquatic Sales Manager, has over 12 years of experience in the aquatic timing industry. He has had a passion for swimming his entire life. The age group competitions were a favorite of his and became increasingly competitive the older he got. “I have always been competitive in nature and enjoyed my professional involvement in the arena. Having the chance to provide high-quality aquatic systems to customers feels incredibly rewarding for me,” says Randy.
The Products
Nevco’s prized possession of this line are the Alge touchpads. This product has a one-of-a-kind grip surface, making it the fastest rugged touchpad in the industry. The patented design allows water to flow through, which produces optimal water current conditions for each lane.
Nevco will be offering 2 different semi-automatic timing systems: the wired cable system and the radio system. The advantage of the wireless (radio) semi-automatic system vs the wired system is the ease of set-up, removal of on-deck wiring (which can be a trip and visual hazard). A semi-automatic system offers a budget-friendly price for simpler operations.
The fully automatic timing system is more precise in capturing an accurate time than a semi-automatic system, as it is intelligently triggered off the touchpad rather than a manual push button. This system set-up is equipped to keep time so the timekeeper can focus on other aspects of the swim meet.
The start system is an integral component that will announce the event, ready the competitor, and start the timing sequence. To trigger the start of the race, the start system is an integrated microphone that allows making announcements to the swimmers.
We will also offer durable relay take-off sensors. These products are stainless steel and will provide take-off times, block-off times, and reaction times.
The display boards are accessible for indoor or outdoor use. The LED lights are operational for more than 100,000 hours.
The video display boards by Nevco are pairable with all Alge-Timing systems. The boards are excellent at keeping fans entertained by showing live feed, instant replays, and displaying results. Nevco video displays can also add additional revenue opportunities for your facility, enabling you to run advertisements during breaks.
Finding a product that captures the exact moment a competitor starts and finishes a meet is crucial. The OPTIc3 Video Backup records and takes 100 pictures per second for those extra close meets.
In addition to these products, Nevco and Alge-Timing have developed training programs that will improve an athlete’s meet performance, improved reaction times, relay exchanges, and flip turns are captured and displayed for evaluation. The measurements of this program allow athletes to compete on their own time.
Water polo shot clocks, game clocks, and wireless controls are available and can be integrated into your aquatic timing and display system. Depending on the model, the clock will show the game time as well.
Alternating between each lane is SPA2 and SPP2 lane speakers. Nevco Aquatics provides the highest quality speakers at each lane, so each athlete has a fair starting opportunity
The flash starter provides fair starting conditions for hearing impaired swimmers through use of an LED flash, which is also used as back-up timers.
Nevco’s partnership with Alge-Timing represents a significant leap forward in the realm of sports technology, merging Nevco’s innovative display solutions with Alge-Timing’s precision timing systems. This collaboration not only enhances the accuracy and reliability of event management but also delivers a seamless, integrated experience for both athletes and spectators.
