Swimma

SWIMMA is a swim-training app designed to make personalised coaching more accessible, particularly for triathlon swimmers training for open-water distances of 750 metres or more. Available for iOS and Android, the app connects with Garmin devices to use data from completed sessions, including heart rate, stroke rate, distance and swimming efficiency. Its algorithm reviews this information and adapts a swimmer’s plan each week: training can become more challenging when performance exceeds expectations or easier when signs of fatigue appear. SWIMMA also provides performance insights and warnings when data suggests a greater risk of overtraining or injury.

The app offers training plans for distances ranging from sprint triathlons to Ironman events. It takes two weeks to establish baseline data before weekly plan adjustments begin. SWIMMA was founded by Oliver, whose experience racing triathlons and relying on PDF plans and coaching services inspired the product. The company aims to offer a data-led alternative to static plans and expensive in-person coaching.
