PROS-Swim Coach doesn’t have ads or constant advertisements to buy premium. -They create weekly training that can go to 16 weeks where you can focus on breathing, technique AND/OR endurance. -I can log and have a set created by day instead of a weekly plan-I can set my training for Intermediate because I’m not a pro but I know how to swim. -I can also set the distance for MY pool length in meters (or yards) and how often you swim a week.-They send daily reminders only when I set them. -They allow me to see how many calories I burn and how far I travel in meters (or yards)-They set distance goals with cute panda badges-I can focus more on the strokes like free or breaststroke more than butterfly and how often I want to focus on my legs -Creates the sets fast and organizedI greatly enjoy this app. CONS -Once I set a training it’s set in stone unless I start all over (but I don’t lose track of previous swim lengths) -They almost always have swim sets with gear that I don’t have (Such as a pull buoy) CONCLUSION Don’t waste your time with Apples “great” list of Fitness and Health. They are all overwhelmed with “BUY PREMIUM” or leave the app basically useless. That is the only reason this app isn’t on Apples Fitness and Health list. This is the perfect app for swim training. No doubt.

I purchased this app after using the free version for a month. I wanted more variety in my workouts but with the premium it seems to be mostly the same the free version has. Not to mention all the bugs it has on Apple. It’s a 50/50 chance if it will record your workout as an apple workout and if it does it won’t be accurate distance. I wish the log and training section were more in depth and not just graphs and if there is that option it is not user friendly to find it. It would be very beneficial if the app would auto log your timed trials and keep a record of your best times for each stroke (not in a graph). Also the Apple Watch will not show the entire set you are on and have to unlock the water control and then scroll to see what you have to do and then lock it all back up (which kills battery). I would recommend this app if you strictly just want a step by step what to do and nothing else and stick to the free version. I do enjoy the workouts this app has to provide and is very easy to follow along as well as create a workout plan. Hopefully this app will improve.

I’ve returned to swimming after finally recovering from a year of various injuries. I knew I needed the structure and training a routine a coach provides, but without a coach. The answer was this little app. It’s amazing and it connects to my Garmin Fenix. All I have to do is tell it my goals, the stroke I want to swim, and the pool toys I have. Incredible and so versatile and simple to use. I’ve been using it for about 2 months now and it’s taken me from 800 meter swims to 2300 meters over a training timeframe I can completely control. I also love the user interface and the training it walks you through on your watch. The customization options are also very useful. Love it!

I had been creating my own swim plans, but I always cut out things I wasn’t good at or didn’t like. Having the app create a plan for me allows me to see great improvement in areas I was avoiding. The workouts are also very customizable. For your plan you can set how many weeks you want and how many days a week you’ll be swimming. For the actual workout, you’re able to change each set if needed and change the order.Definitely recommend this app for anyone who’s a little lost creating their own workouts or know you aren’t improving as quickly as you could with your own plan.
