I love this app. I use it all the time when I swim or surf. It saves all my information into my phone & linked to Strava. Plus it also saves my watch by turning on the water safe mode (even though this happens automatically with other apps, but this way I’m sure it’s on)! Also, it’s not as expensive as some other apps, but does the same tasks with quality. The only thing I’m still trying to figure out is how to display my distance in yards rather than miles (like 2000 yds instead of 1.25 miles), I’ll figure it out eventually. 😊⌚️👍🏼

Went out today for my first swim with Open Water Swim App and it worked really well! Stats like pace and distance seem much more accurate than other apps I’ve tried and it was good fun to be able to share a beautiful visualization with friends and family. It was also eye-opening to see how much I swam off-course. Will definitely return to the post-swim stats and maps to gauge progress. Overall, really pleased and recommend highly.
Love it

I’m a senior woman who rediscovered a passion for open water swimming six years ago. Having the Open Water Swim app last season and this has been a motivating and inspiring way to log my swims and track my distance and pace. I’m way ahead if my total mileage and also distance each swim stats from last year at this time. Also, I often swim alone so in a funny way it’s like having a companion that recognizes my effort.
Best open water swim App!!!

I’m an avid open water swimmer in Montana and this is by far the most helpful app that I have ever used. Love the temperature data as we usually start swimming around 47F in the spring and our lake only warms up to 74F by August so I am always curious what the water temp is while I am swimming. Only big suggestion would be a way to upload to Strava, then the app would be perfection!!!
