Swimming without a training plan is a bit like trying to drive in a foreign country without a map: you’ll always get somewhere, but the place you arrive may not be where you actually want to be. Without a proper swim plan, your workouts might not lead you toward your goal.

  3. Staying Focused: When you have a plan ahead of time, you’ll stay on track.
  4. Staying Motivated: Seeing the entire plan laid out in front of you will help you visualize success and keep you on track. You may find that you’re even more motivated to get your workouts in!

  1. Hello,
    Do you have workout plan for swimmers of the masters category?
    It is not beginners with 2000 m plan or open water swimmers with their only freestyle.
    What can you offer to test for plan like 3-4 workouts per week and about 3000 m (1h – 1h15m)?

  5. The dnhance speed workout says 4x 50 IM. Does this mean all 4 strokes within each 50m length or 50 of fly followed by 50 of backstroke…. etc?

    Would be great under each rep to have a brief description of what it is.

    1. Hi Will! You can do 4 x 50 IM a couple different ways:
      1. 50yds of each stroke (fly, back, breast, free) x 4
      2. 25yds of each stroke (fly, back) x 2 then (breast, free) x 2
      3. 12.5yds of each stroke (fly, back, breast, free) x 4

      Hope that helps!

  6. Can I use this app to help me come up with workouts for my high school swim team? As a soccer coach who has just finished his 49th season coaching high school soccer I am now a first year swim coach and I could use some help to get my swimmers ready for competition.

    I am still trying to figure out the app which I will purchase after the seven day trial period runs out. I am getting the app for myself.

    You should really expand this app so swim coaches could use it for their swimmers…

  7. Hi! I’m looking for swim training plan focusing on speed (100m) with 6-7 workouts per week. Do you have such plan in premium version? There is possibility to customize this plan?

    1. Hi Michael, great question! We currently do not offer a training plan with 6-7 workouts/week in it. What you can do though is join the enhance speed plan, then incorporate your other 3-4 workouts a week with other workouts from our full library. We have many sprint workouts in the app that will pair great with the plan! Thanks for your question!

    1. Hi Tress, if you go to your ‘Train’ screen, you’ll see the next workout in your training plan. If you tap on that button, it will show you all of the workouts coming up in your training plan so you can see the details. Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks
