Have you noticed the little float-ring buddy in the Central Pool? It’s even cuter now! “Extract Analysis Segment” has been upgraded to “Swim Slices”! Go beyond 1,000 meters: pick the section you want, choose the distance, and explore your performance. You can even extract your best qualifying result to compete on the Playground leaderboards!

The Central Pool has a fresh new look! After completing a swim workout, open 1000 to meet swimmers from around the world who finished their workouts around the same time. See how everyone did and celebrate this shared moment across the distance!

The swim duration algorithm has been upgraded again. Smart segment detection now uses a second round of calculations to more accurately reflect your actual time spent swimming, giving you results that better match your real performance. The Milestones page now supports horizontal swiping, making it faster and more intuitive to switch between events and review your results.

Maintained the swim duration algorithm for more accurate training duration and active swimming time calculations.

Refined Dynamic Comparison with smoother, more detailed swimming animations and overtaking and acceleration effects that better match the action.

Likes are now live in Playground! Cheer on your swimming buddies and send some love to the swimmers and champions you admire. Every like is a little boost that makes Playground more lively and every swim more inspiring!

Swim segment detection has been further improved, so every effort is captured more accurately. During continuous swims, brief gaps caused by device sampling are less likely to be mistaken for rest, preserving your true rhythm. During sprint swims, even if you do not stop recording in time before or after the effort, you can easily remove the extra time when extracting an analysis segment. Effective swim time, pace, and training segments now better reflect your real performance, so every sprint and breakthrough can be seen.

Small fixes and improvements for a smoother experience.

As the event support partner for the ATS 2026 Qiandao Lake Open Water Swimming Race, 1000swim brings a dedicated upgrade for open-water swimming! Dynamic Compare now includes a full-screen open-water map, making your route and every movement easier to see. Collage Sharing also adds a brand-new open-water map module, capturing Qiandao Lake, your course, and every breakthrough along the way. Dive in with confidence, find your rhythm, and swim your way to a great result and an unforgettable race-day memory!

Garmin long-distance swims are now easier to understand. Brief recording gaps during continuous swimming are automatically combined, so workouts are less likely to be split into false rest periods and results better reflect your actual performance.

The Playground got a little makeover. Come take a look!

Calculate results using actual swimming time, so your statistics better reflect your real performance. Pauses, rest periods, or an accidental extra stretch of recording after finishing could previously be included in split results, making your pace appear slower than it really was. The app can now use your workout’s pause and resume records to distinguish between “total workout time” and “actual swimming time.” This makes split times and pace more accurate when you extract an analysis segment. Your results are also less likely to be affected by pauses when reviewing a single workout, while comparisons with your current group and comparison group can reflect your actual swimming ability more fairly. The complete workout is still preserved, including all pause and rest records.

Long continuous swims can now qualify for the Championship! There’s no need to start and stop your watch just for a race entry. After swimming continuously for more than 1,000 meters, open the individual milestone page and use “Extract Analysis Segment” to select an uninterrupted 1,000-meter segment in a 50-meter pool. As long as the segment is continuous and complete, it meets the Championship’s analysis standards and can be used to enter the competition and challenge a higher ranking. Swim through, then make sure your best performance gets counted!

The Hall of Fame is now a Championship! A new round begins every 28 days. Make your mark and write your own legend.

The Hall of Fame just got another upgrade! You can now view results by stroke, so every stroke has its own best performance. Come find out which stroke brings out your best!

The Playground just got a fresh upgrade! Leaderboard headers stay visible as you scroll, while the Central Pool remembers your choice and reduces repeated loading and score submissions. Check rankings faster, find swim buddies more easily, and jump straight into the fun!

The Playground motivation system is here! Time to pick a cool ID. I’m sure it’ll get plenty of likes!
