The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CL2 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Sports Personal Swim Manager

Programs to open CL2 file

Remember to download programs supporting CL2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Sports Personal Swim Manager with CL2 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CL2 file still does not use the Sports Personal Swim Manager program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sports Personal Swim Manager application as the default for handling the CL2 file.

Step 3. Update Sports Personal Swim Manager to the latest version

If, however, after binding Sports Personal Swim Manager with HY-TEK Meet Results Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CL2 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The CL2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CL2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CL2 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CL2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CL2 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CL2 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CL2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CL2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CL2 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
