Season’s greetings from the entire team at MySwimPro! We hope your holidays will be filled with joy and laughter through the New Year.

This time of year provides an especially appropriate time to show gratitude to our community. From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank you for your unwavering support.


2019 has been a year to remember at MySwimPro. We coached 1 million swimmers, grew our digital community, and donated 5x the amount of money than we did in 2018.

Our greatest joy is the opportunity and responsibility we proudly hold to empower swimmers to improve their confidence in and out of the water, better their health, and reach their goals.

This year, we connected with millions of swimmers through our digital community – and in-person events! We exchanged stories, inspired new swimmers, raised money for non-profits, and cheered each other on. We cannot thank our community members, supporters, and customers for your contribution to this movement.

1 million swimmers have downloaded the MySwimPro app, and have collectively swam millions of miles! Check out the announcement video:

We are also tremendously grateful for our employees, investors, advisors, and mentors who are helping us grow every day. Our mantra is to empower aquatic prowess across the globe, and it’s been amazing to witness what an important role our efforts play in improving the lives of so many swimmers.

As we approach the close of 2019, we reflect on memories and highlights from an incredible year. Enjoy these stories and have a wonderful holiday season!

  1. I am just getting back to swimming after an injury that kept me out of the water. I am thrilled with the new bolder, yellow numbers which make seeing MySwimPro workouts so much easier. Thanks for making changes that support your users who wear glasses.
    MySwimPro is the best. Makes my iWatch my favorite tech device.
    Great job!
