We deliver an incredible experience for swimmers of all levels through personalized swim workouts, instructional video content, and detailed analytics. We’ve received international accolades from Apple (named Best Watch App of 2016), have been featured in Sports Illustrated and in Apple CEO Tim Cook’s keynote address.
Swimming is one of the fastest growing sports worldwide, but it’s difficult to get personal training to help you improve. More than 90% of swimmers train by themselves, with no access to professional coaching. MySwimPro changes that. We are democratizing the sport of swimming by providing the opportunity to help swimmers achieve their goals in a way that’s never been possible before, and thrilled to have 4x Olympic medalist, Peter Vanderkaay be a member of our advisory board.
While swimming is becoming more popular as a fitness activity, resources to instruct, train, and help athletes reach their goal just haven’t caught up. Personal swim coaches are hard to find and can cost from $50 to $100 an hour. As a result, many swimmers are isolated with no way to grow.

There are a number of fitness apps that cater to the market for running, biking, nutrition, yoga, and even meditation. But no one has tackled the problems that swimmers have—until now. We’ve helped isolated swimmers structure their training so they can achieve their goal, whether its losing weight or competing in a triathlon.

Since my early childhood, I developed a great passion for the water. The freedom and enjoyment we experience as swimmers is often hard to describe. The feeling of weightlessness in the water is something we often take for granted, but it’s one of the many joys the sport of swimming offers humanity. I’ve combined my experience as a competitive athlete, coach, and all around swim nerd to create something that helps others achieve their goals and enhance their aquatic journey.

We would like to help swimmers around the world achieve their dreams and empower their aquatic potential. Whether you’re learning how to swim or training to cross the English Channel, our mantra is to empower aquatic prowess for all levels of swimmers.
