Ask for a practice.
SwimIQ writes it for your swimmers.

Tell SwimIQ your group and your goal, and it writes the full practice — intervals, zones and totals that add up — from your season plan and what your squad has actually done. Or snap, speak or type your own, and get expert feedback with the source cited.

A coaching assistant
that knows your squad.

Lab is a coaching assistant that writes your sets. Tell it your group and your goal, and it builds a full practice — warm-up, pre-set, main set and cool-down — with intervals, zones and totals that add up. It remembers your squad from one day to the next, reads the plans and results you share, and works from your season plan, so tomorrow's session fits where your swimmers are.

Your session, written in a minute.

Ask in your own words — "aerobic main set for my 13–14s, about 2,400m" — and Lab writes it. Ask for a change and it changes only what you asked. When it's right, one tap sends it to the Builder for the PDF and your History.

Full practices or a single set, in your zones
Intervals, rest and section totals checked before you see them
Shows each step while it works — reading your plan, checking the distances
Send to Builder → PDF → History in one tap
"Find last Tuesday's workout and make it harder" — it opens your History and reworks it

From general prep to taper, week by week.

Give Lab your season dates and meets, and it lays the season out working back from the one that matters most: each phase with its dates and purpose, then one line per week. Agree to it and Lab saves it, so every session it writes afterwards knows which week you're in.

General prep, specific prep, competition and taper, built back from your main meet
Each week's focus and key sessions, realistic for the age group
A saved plan you can open and edit any time
Sessions follow the plan and what your squad has actually done

Twenty seasons in, or your first squad.

Lab is built on SwimIQ's swim-training references and puts your own coaching knowledge first, so what it writes is specific to swimming and to your squad. It is useful whether you already know exactly what you want, or you are still learning how to get there.

Experienced coach

You know the plan. Lab does the writing.

Share your own data — your seasonal training plan (STP), test results, past sessions — and tell Lab the block you want. It lays it out in your system and saves you the hours.

"Set up my next mesocycle: four weeks, threshold focus, building to the Winter Classic. Here's my season plan."
"Set my STP: season starts Sept 8, Provincials Feb 18. Then write this week's sessions from it."
Newer coach

Say where you want to get to. Lab shows a way there.

Describe the result you want and the state your team is in. Lab builds a plan, explains why each part is there, and you learn the reasoning as you go.

"I want my 11–12s ready for regionals in ten weeks. They train four times a week and their kick is weak. Make a plan."
"Why is the threshold set before the sprint work?"

Remembers your group

Ages, level, pool, schedule, test times, how you name your zones. Lab saves what matters and uses it in every chat. You can see and edit all of it under "About your group".

Reads your files

Share a season-plan spreadsheet, a PDF of meet results or a photo of a whiteboard. Ask "what's on the plan for Oct 2nd?" and it finds the day and writes the set. Keep files under "About your group" and every chat can use them.

Your system comes first

Your own coaching knowledge always wins. Pick a SwimIQ reference for the rest — Energy System by default — or choose "I will educate my AI" and teach it your way.

Separate chats, one memory

Plan the season in one chat, write Thursday's session in another, ask about a taper in a third. Each chat keeps its own thread; what Lab knows about your group is shared by all of them.

Lab is included in every paid plan and in the 7-day free trial · up to 30 messages a day per coach · not available on the Free plan.

Built for the way
coaches actually work.

Shaped with feedback from coaches who have spent decades on the deck — every feature earns its keep or it's gone.

From idea to written plan, fast

Speak a practice on the drive in, snap your whiteboard, or type freely. SwimIQ turns it into a clean structured workout — zones, pace times, circuit brackets — without you formatting a single line.

Feedback that cites its source

Each workout is checked against the swim training literature — energy-system distribution, color zones, race-pace methodology. You get a line-by-line breakdown that points to the actual book, table or principle behind every comment.

Your week in one view

See every practice this month broken down by day and by zone. Spot a thin aerobic week before it shows up as a flat taper. Reload any past workout to reuse or adjust.

Print-ready plans for the deck

Export any practice as a clean PDF with your club logo, proper bracket notation for circuits, pace times and your coaching notes. Print it for the deck or AirDrop to your tablet.

Works where you coach

Install to your iPhone home screen or use it on any laptop. Works offline on the pool deck, syncs everything once you're back on signal.

Your philosophy, respected

Upload your own training plans, zone charts and coaching notes. SwimIQ checks workouts against your system — your club's method, race-pace methodology, or the classics — not a generic one.

Training groups, one tap away

Organize your roster by squad — Senior, Age Group, Masters, whatever you run. Tag each workout with its group, filter History in one tap, and jump straight into any group's week without scrolling through unrelated practices.

Head-coach roll-up

See every coach's week at a glance. Drill into any training group for weekly volume, rolling weekly averages, and every practice your assistants have logged — open any workout to see it exactly as they saved it.

Coach in English, Spanish or French

Pick Español or Français in Settings or on the sign-in screen and the whole app switches: menus, Lab, voice, feedback and your PDFs — in the words coaches use on deck: libre, braza, pies; crawl, éduc, souple.

For coaches who treat
their planning like the work it is.

01

Head Coaches

Running multiple age groups. Need consistency across your planning without staying late every Sunday.

02

Club Programs

Multiple coaches, one standard. Head coaches see every assistant's week organized by training group, with weekly volume + averages on every roll-up.

03

HS & College

Large rosters, short seasons. Plan a whole week in 20 minutes, not 2 hours.

04

Any Coach

Tired of rewriting last week's plan at 10pm. Ready for something that respects your time.

Three steps. That's the
whole thing.

You speak the workout. SwimIQ structures it. You hit one button and get the literature check back.

01

Get the workout in

Speak it, snap your whiteboard, or type it however you want. SwimIQ reads natural coaching shorthand — WU, CD, BNF, neg split, descend, circuits.

02

Review and adjust

You see a fully structured practice with zones, pace times and circuits. Edit anything in the builder: add a set, change a zone, adjust a round count, fix a target.

03

Run the literature check

One tap checks the workout against your chosen reference. You see exactly how zone distribution, rest periods and set structure line up against published guidance — with citations.

Say it out loud.
SwimIQ writes it down.

Tap the mic and talk through your session like you would with an assistant: "400 easy warm-up, 8 by 100 free on 1:30 threshold, 200 cool-down." SwimIQ catches the zones, pace intervals and circuit rounds without you spelling them out.

Expert Feedback
Senior · Energy System Reference
STRENGTH · Zone distribution
Z1 at 66% (target for Senior: 70% ±5%). Aerobic base well-represented across A1/A2/A3 sub-zones.
INSIGHT · Rest intervals
8×100 on 1:30 leaves ~20s rest for threshold pace (published guidance: 10-20s is ideal for Z2).
WARNING · Z5 distance
1×50m sprint exceeds Z5 max distance. Per CST, true Z5 HVO should stay ≤25m to preserve neuromuscular power.

Feedback you can actually defend.

Every comment breaks down what it's looking at: zone distribution against published targets, rest period ranges, pace-to-target ratios, session structure. Every comment points to the source it came from. If your assistant coaches want to push back, they can argue with the reasoning, not just the conclusion.

The literature behind
every analysis.

SwimIQ checks your workouts against three foundational training systems, each carefully studied and integrated into the analysis. You can also upload your own — your club's plan stays the primary reference if you choose.

Championship Swim Training

Sweetenham & Atkinson

The energy-system zone model used by national programs around the world. Volume distribution targets per swimmer level (age group, senior, masters, sprinters), rest period guidelines per zone, and the Z5 sprint distance ceiling.

Color-Based Zone System

Tom Rushton

The 9-color zone framework adopted across club swimming in Canada, the UK and Australia. Each color maps to perceived effort, heart-rate range, lactate level and stroke-rate targets — built so coach and swimmer can communicate intensity in one word on the deck.

Ultra-Short Race-Pace Training

Dr. Brent Rushall · Bulletin #47

The race-pace methodology built on the Specificity Principle: every rep is swum at exact race pace, with sets ending on consecutive failures rather than fixed counts. Used widely with sprinters and senior race-pace work.

Each framework above has been carefully studied — the books, the journals and the published research the sport has been built on for decades. Analysis cites the actual principle, not generic AI commentary.

Built by a coach,
for coaches.

SwimIQ exists because too many coaches were losing hours every week formatting workouts, then getting commentary back from AI tools that couldn't tell a threshold set from a sprint. Strong training ideas, weak tools to write them down and check them.

This one's different. Every analysis considers the reference you've selected and gives you back what that reference actually says — not random facts pulled out of the air. You can rely on it.

Coached at different levels across Canada — from the northwest out to the east — and currently on deck with Etobicoke Swim Club. Competed internationally before that. SwimIQ comes from the joy of the sport — built April 2026.
