DuoSwim: Swim Workout App

Not usable features without paying for the rather expensive gold subscription. Might be good for pro / regular swimmers but not for beginners.

Great app for when looking to get back in the pool after a few months off. Gives a structured plan and varies it up day to day!

Brilliant app which not only looks great but works really well. There are hundreds of expert designed workouts nicely separated into sections which you can select depending on your area of focus. Features such as the pre and post pool mobility exercises are really helpful and something which I haven’t seen before on other workout apps. Also, being able to see how far I have swam in total and how many workouts I have completed is extremely motivating and rewarding to see. Overall, I would highly recommend this app to anyone at any level of swimming.

Was looking for fresh ideas for open water swimming and triathlon orientated sets. Really easy to use application and I particularly appreciate the feature that lets you know what equipment you will need for the session. Would recommend this app to any swimmer that would like extra guidance and structure with their training.

A really engaging training app with a wide variety of sessions to suit all abilities and aims. I’ve used sessions from this app over the last couple of months and I’ve really started to see a big difference in my swimming already. I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do come race time 🙌 highly recommend!!!

Fantastic app, it changed my way to workout in the swimming pool. It’s less expensive than others with plenty of workouts for all kinds of swimmers. Helpful and friendly customer service too. I would just improve the Apple Watch layout when working out because the top section gets covered by the watch time and water lock sign, so you miss out some info the app displays. I also find the pace at which the beginner repetitions are set to be too fast, sometimes I have to pause the workout to be able to catch up. I think it would be great if it could be possible to set our own pace or just have more seconds since it’s for beginners. However, still a great app and still 5 stars.

Positive: The coaching side seems ok and decent price compared to others. Needs Improvement: Watch app The watch up has a very basic screen in pool swim mode. Only distance, time, heart rate and calories. Split time can’t be changed while swimming, you are stuck with it when you begin, need to be chosen. No time/100m etc available. Apple fitness integration. Pool swim recorded as open water swim in Apple Fitness. No detail on splits / sets available in Apple fitness. Just distance and heart rate during swim. So integration not working too well. iPhone application Coaching section looks ok but I’ve not tested it. There is only a high level summary available on swims: Distance, Duration, Pace (over whole session including rest), Calories, Average Heart Rate over whole session. So fairly useless to track how well one has done by set. Since I have a coach, cancelled subscription. Not useful for me.

Finally a swim app that looks great and provides superb workouts. The recent addition of the swims and sprints feature has been very well received, and keeps you motivated to archive a goal distance. It would be fun to have additional functions like “create your own workout” or ‘random workout’. Overall, I am extremely impressed with the app and the integration with apple watch, functionally it is great. Having some extra metrics would be cool and badges on the profile, but this isn’t a priority. Thumbs up from me and 5 stars.

After trying a few apps for my swimming, the DuoSwim app is my favourite and less complicated to use than others. Honestly, I don’t find any issues with this app personally and like how new features are added regularly. Well done guys!

This app is very easy to use. I love how you can send and sync workouts to your watch – this can take a few tries, but I don’t fault DuoSwim for this since every phone-watch connected app has this problem. Swim workouts are tailored for all abilities from beginner swimmers to advanced. You can also log kick and drills on the apple watch when you choose an open goal swim, this is very useful to get the correct swim distance. Overall, a very promising app that has potential to be great! Great job guys! 🏊🏊👍
