1. A system configured to provide timing and scoring for aquatic sports in pools, the system comprising:
- a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of nodes comprising a location relative to a pool; and
at least one control device node having a display screen, the at least one control device node connected to at least one of the plurality of nodes, the at least one control device node configured to;
access spatial knowledge related to at least one of;
the location of the plurality of nodes,a position of the pool, andreference points of the pool;
generate and display at the display screen at least one representation of the plurality of nodes and the pool based on the spatial knowledge;
receive a selection of a plurality of the plurality of nodes to set up at least one event based on the at least one representation;
configure the selected plurality of nodes for the at least one event; and
execute the at least one event based on the configured plurality of nodes.

Abstract
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.
