How-to guide
Building a workout
Sets with distance, reps, interval, stroke, and zone. Patterns like kick down, swim back. Push it to a team for a date and it's on every swimmer's Train tab.
About 8 minutes
For coaches
Why this matters
The workout is what the practice timer runs and what the swimmer sees on deck. The more precisely it's written, the cleaner the times that come back.
Step by step
- 01
Plan tab, Create
Give it a title and a type: pool, dryland, or gym. The course comes from the team you push it to.
- 02
Add sets
For each set: distance per rep, reps, interval, stroke, intensity zone, and a note. Zones are Recovery, Endurance, Threshold, VO2 Max, and Sprint. Reorder by dragging, duplicate a set, or delete one.
You'll know it worked when
Each set reads as one line, like 8x100 Freestyle @ 1:25, Threshold.
- 03
Describe how each rep is swum, when it isn't one plain swim
Open a set's 'Each rep' picker for kick down swim back, drill down swim back, swim down kick back, or write your own like '25 kick / 25 swim'. It shows on the set everywhere, and the timer still times the whole rep.
- 04
Let the AI draft it, if you'd rather edit than type
The AI assistant will write a full session from a sentence: 'a 4,000-yard threshold day for the senior group'. Paste a whole week and it creates a workout per day. You edit before anything is pushed.
- 05
Bulk-create or import
Plan tab has Bulk create for pasting several workouts at once and Import CSV for a season's worth from a spreadsheet.
- 06
Assign to a group, if it's not for everyone
A workout can be assigned to specific swimmers within the team. Only they see it as their workout that day.
- 07
Push it
Pick the team or teams, the date, and a start and end time. A morning and an afternoon session on the same day show up as two title bars on the swimmer's Train tab, morning first.
You'll know it worked when
The workout is on the team's Train tab for that day.
