To get the most out of MySwimPro, we recommend using Guided Workouts. It’s the best way to maximize interval training, and ensures your splits will be recorded if you’re using a smartwatch. You can log a Guided Workout in MySwimPro with a compatible smartwatch, or manually log the Workout.
You can access Guided Workouts in a few areas in the MySwimPro app:
- MySwimPro Workout Library
- Workout of the Day
- Training Plans
- Create a Custom Guided Workout
Smartwatch
Create a Custom Guided Workout, or view a pre-made workout from the Workout Library, Workout of the Day or from a Training Plan.

Without A Smartwatch

You can either print out the workout, bring your phone to the pool, or complete the workout from memory:
- Print the Workout: Tap the menu icon (…) > tap ‘Open PDF’ > either take a screenshot or tap the share icon again to print the PDF version of the workout. If you can’t print straight from your phone, you can always email the workout PDF to yourself and open the PDF on a different device that you can print from.
- Bring your phone to the pool: We recommend buying a waterproof smartphone case, or placing your phone in a plastic bag so you can keep it close to the edge of the pool without it getting wet. In between swim sets, you’ll need to check your phone to be guided through the workout.
- Complete it from memory: If you can remember the different swim sets, Effort Levels and interval times off the top of your head, great! Some people also write it down on a whiteboard at the pool.
Once you’ve completed the workout, open the workout on your phone > tap the Menu icon (…) > tap Log This Activity. Your workout will now appear in your Profile!

Will you include Suunto into list of devices?
Sorry but our app does not Suunto at this time!
Do my swims show up on myswimpro.com anywhere? Or, only on the phone app?
Thanks!!!
Hi Chris, you can find your logged swims on the MySwimPro app on your iPhone, Android or smartwatch 🙂
Do you have plans to make the app work with Suunto watches in the future? Lots of athletes use Suunto watches and it is a shame it isn’t currently compatible.
Hi Gary, thanks for your comment. We are hoping to get this included in our lineup in the upcoming year! Thanks for your patience 🙂
Hello,
whether exercise data is being transferred to the apple activity app?
Hello! Yes, your data should be synced with your Apple Activity App if you swim with an Apple Watch. You can learn more here: https://support.myswimpro.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000347973-Apple-Watch
If you have any other questions, please email us at support@myswimpro.com. Thanks!
Are you planning to support FitBit watch or the upcoming Google Pixel Watch?
Hi there! We no longer support FitBit devices. We have passed your request about the Google Pixel Watch on to our development team!
why isn’t there a play button on the workout itself… like – showing the remaining time – saying go, moving automatically to the next set?
Hi Shawn, MySwimPro does offer fully guided workouts if you swim with a compatible Apple or Garmin smartwatch! The watch walks you through each set and interval, and counts down when it’s time to start the next one!
