Exactly what I was looking for. This app builds a semi-custom training plan/schedule based upon your development goals and the time and tools you have available. It is excellent. I have only used the free version thus far but will likely upgrade to premium, even if only to show gratitude for making such a great app. Strava integration has been flawless as well. It is hard to imagine what more could be desired.

I liked this a lot and upgraded to the gold plan pretty quickly after downloading. The workouts are never boring, but at times they do seem a bit random (that is, not directly targeted at improving a specific aspect of a stroke or they cover several disjointed aspects of swimming). The warm-ups and cool-downs are often unusual. Additionally, it isn't possible to modify a workout manually or to create your own workout and add it to the system, both of which would be very useful features.

Seems pretty good. My only suggestion at the moment is to embed the videos in the app instead of linking out, and to also start the video after the intro. SwimUp lacks some of the features and refined design of Swim Coach, but has a much better demo video viewing experience and video content, and their descriptions are a little more helpful. I just use both apps together.

for the most part of the app works pretty well It doesn't crash. in terms of the sets that the app generates are very repetitive and not very good for people who are experienced swimmers. it's basically just a combination of various amounts of 50s, I don't think I've ever seen a 75 or a 125 as a distance. The developer really needs to do a better job at varying the workouts. I would gladly amend my review if that was addressed.

I am 44yo swimmer with a 1.25 pace. I have been using the app for over a year. I like the user friendly interface, the simple metrics to follow progression and the structure of the training programs. I have tried and used other apps before but found them unnecessarily complex and learning them, navigating them required time and attention. This one suits me and allowed me to make progress. I followed the program and my 400m free dropped from 6.14 to 5.41 within 12 months. Simple and useful.

Awesome! A nice variety of workouts. You can customize the frequency, distance, and stroke types to fit your preferences. You get the perfect workout for you every time. I download the workout onto my Garmin watch so I can just swim without fumbling around trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.
