  1. Am an Triathlete having completed my three Ironman 70.3 & one Ironman140.6. My Swim timing for 3.8 Kms swim is 01:18:00 Mins. I and would like to bring down the time for the same swim distance in less than an hour.
    Can you please suggest a suitable programme for my requirement?
    Thanks & Regards.. Sampat

    Confused about how info is recorded. Is it manually entered or transferred from watch. Do you track live and give feedback while swimming?

    • Hi Lonnie, great questions!
      1. If you have a smartwatch paired with your account, the workout will load automatically on your watch. Just open your watch app, tap ‘Load Workout’ and you can choose either the last viewed workout or the next workout on your Training Plan. You’ll complete the swim with your watch and it will automatically record your time, distance, splits, heart rate, SWOLF score and strokes per lap. It will track this live, and you’ll be able to see the full graphs of the analytics after your swim on your phone (it syncs that data automatically to your phone app).
      2. The only feedback or instruction that the app gives you during your swim is it will guide you through the workout set-by-set, it will act as your clock and will tell you which drills to do.
      Hope this helps, thanks!

  3. I’m a current member. I would like to watch the videos in my training plan on my PC before I go to the pool. I can’t seem to figure out how to login and see my training plan. Help?

    • Hi Susan,
      Thank you for your message. We currently only offer a mobile and wearable app, so it is not accessible on a desktop. But please stay tuned, we might be building this in the future! For more questions or requests, please send us our CEO an email at fares@myswimpro.com. Thanks!

    • Hi Susan, thanks for your question! Unfortunately, at this time we only have a mobile app so you can only log in and access your training content on your iPhone or Android. We are hoping to have a web-version by the end of the year. If you have any more specific questions or feature requests, please email support@myswimpro.com. Thanks, and sorry about that!
