Edit Workout
If you want to customize your Workout, tap on the Set you want to edit and tap the Edit icon. Adjust intervals, Effort Levels, equipment, Reps, and more.

Log Workout
After you swim the Workout, open the MySwimPro app on your phone to log your Swim and record all your split times. You’ll want to keep a log of your swim times to track your progress.
If you have a watch, this will happen automatically. You’ll also see other Analytics such as your split times, strokes per lap, and heart rate graphs.
Planning Your Next Workout
After you log your first swim of the Training Plan, you’ll see your next Workout featured on the top of your Coach screen.
If you want to swim more Workouts than what the plan recommends, try incorporating the fresh Workout of The Day into your weekly schedule!

Does the app account for non standard pool lengths. I am currently training in a 22m pool
Yep! You can customize the pool length 🙂
Are the interval shown in a training session calculated and modified for user, or the user have to modify it to fit his physical level?
Great question! Your intervals are modified around your goals and personal ability. You can always manually edit the intervals and sets if you need to modify. Learn more about our Dynamic Intervals feature here > https://support.myswimpro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003783014-Dynamic-Intervals
Where can I see the description por each exercise? I’m not sure how to do a few…
Hi Valentina! Once you subscribe to the training plan you will be able to see all the workouts in the app. To get a feel for how our app looks, you can check out any of the “Workout of The Week” articles here to preview how it’s laid. Also, you can always customize the swim sets and workouts so they are tailored to you. Thanks!
Are there description for terms used in workouts
Yep! Here’s a helpful guide too >
Hello, i have a versa 2 (fitbit), Can i am use Myswimpro?
Hi Oliver! We are working on coming out with our Versa 2 app, so please stay tuned! 🙂
I did the workout for world swim day yesterday 🙂 Today, I went to log it in and see that I had to log it yesterday. Oh wells – maybe next year 🙁 Well back to the point – I have a few workouts in my library that I saved and your help pages keep referencing the “train” tab. What? where? I don’t see that anywhere? I think I have touched everything possible on this screen for three or four times now. I have an Apple X phone which is newish so it should be compatible with your app? I’m pretty frustrated and i’m hoping you can help.
Hi Jennifer, I am sorry to hear about your frustration! I hope you were still able to find the workout plan this weekend. Can you please go to your settings in the app and press “Send Feedback”? Then our product team can look into the issue you’re experiencing. If you have any further questions, please email us at support@myswimpro.com. Thanks!
I am currently doing the Get Fit–Freestyle training plan. I started with week three because it was the appropriate distance for me. When I finish week 6, will the app think I have completed the training plan, or will I have to cancel it in order to move on without doing weeks 1 and 2?
Hi Maria, at the end of the 6 weeks the app will mark it as Complete. Then you can start your next training plan! Send us an email if you have any further questions: support@myswimpro.com
HI I have a Samsung Gear 3 Frontier watch and I can track a swim using a couple of apps but can’t seem to get it tracking with the myswimpro app. Do you have any idea if this watch is supported?
Hi Hector, unfortunately we are still working on a Samsung integration, so stay tuned! You can see all our compatible devices here: https://support.myswimpro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039144953-Compatible-Smartwatches-for-the-MySwimPro-App
Hi, is it possible to set the intervals without the time, please? I only would like to see the length fo next phase (interval) as I don’t want to be pushed by the time. E.g. warm-up 400 m, then 6 * 100 m drills etc. – and when I complete 400 m warm-up, my Garmin watch says “6 * 100 m drills”.
I only need to have the training led by the length, not by the time.
How to set it, please?
Thank you, Zuzana
Hi Zuzana! Yes, it’s possible to do this! When you are building your workout, there’s a little toggle button next to the Interval time that allows you to turn that feature off. If you’re using a pre-written MySwimPro workout, simply tap the (…) in the top right corner of the workout screen to edit the workout, and tap on each set to remove the interval. Hope this helps!
Just learning to use. I have a Garmin vivoactice 4S. Between sets there is a 30 sec test, but I was unaware of the rest, therefore my splits for first is off by 30 sec. Since the Garmin data comes in, how do I edit and more importantly SAVE my splits. After adjusting the splits, I save. Then choose done. The next screen has two opt: Save later, or Log workout. If I log workout, I get a second wo for the day with correct splits, but not the data from Garmin.i just want it saved in the original wo.
Hi Linda! Thanks for reaching out! Would you mind contacting our support team at support@myswimpro.com? We’ll work with you to resolve this issue!
