I am looking for a solution for a problem, as indicated below, and was
wondering if any body could help with any information.

In Australia many finswimmers (see http://www.ozemai.com.au/~lproud for
information on what is finswimming)live quite a distance apart (up to
4000km) which makes it difficult to compete in finswimming competitions. In
an effort to overcome this problem I have been considering the possibility
of what we could do over the internet.

One thought that has come to mind is a net competition where people can swim
in their own pools and submit their times via a web page. The data would
then be received sorted and posted as a web page automatically and
participants would be able to see their results as compared to other
finswimmers almost instantaneously. I believe that the JAVA programming
language would be able to do this but I personally don't have the expertise
to create such a program. For those that have such expertise in JAVA
programming and would know if it can be done, can it be done and how
difficult would it be? Would I be able to teach myself within a short period
or are their some compilers already out there that do similar jobs?

Another method is do it manually so that people post an email to a central
person who then compiles the information manually and create a web page and
post it to the web however an automated system would be much better.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
