Web Based System for Swimming Championship in Hillwood College Kandy

Abstract

With the vision “To be the center of excellence in holistic education”, Hillwood College Kandy strives to nurture and develop the child not only academically but also to ensure that children involve in different extra-curricular activities for a better future. Swimming is one of the popular games which students are taken place to develop their personality. School is participating for at least 15 events organized by different swimming organization and schools island wide. The School conducted their “1st Central province swimming championship for novice and age group” 25th and 26th March 2017 which is to be continued annually. Swimming coaches, POG and students use a manual system to maintain all the relevant records. IT teachers encountered some problems with current computerized system (MS Excel). Difficulty of produce result sheets, no proper mechanism to store swimmers, coaches, schools, events details, access is not given for other school coaches, difficulty of lane selections, swimmers are registerd more than the number of specified events, data redundancy were main problems. I developed a web based swimming management system to overcome above addressed problems by using Rational Unified process (RUP). The developed system is able to provide enhance method of login system for other schools for registration, registration of swimmers, coaches & events, entry forms for swimming meets, result sheets, management of swimmers, schools, events, schools and selection of championships. This was a great chance for me to apply the theory knowledge which I gained through my MIT, improve my knowledge on Bootstrap, PHP, CSS, Javascript, Ajax and as an end user to understand the swimming meet process better. The developed system has been properly tested using a comprehensive tesing procedure which ensures a high-quality system. The system would assist the staff of Hillwood College Kandy to enhance their services to provide better results.
