Amazing app!

Great sets in a quick and convenient format!

Great swim workouts

I’m back in the pool after 5 years thanks to this app. The plan I’m on is exactly what I need, it has great structure and the watch app is perfect for guiding me through a workout. I really like that it has some dry land workouts too.

$90 a year just to get some sets

I shouldn’t have to pay $90 a year just to get some basic advice on what sets to do. That should be free.

Watch app is very limited, integration apple fitness weak.

Positive: The coaching side seems ok and decent price compared to others. Needs Improvement: Watch app The watch up has a very basic screen in pool swim mode. Only distance, time, heart rate and calories. Split time can’t be changed while swimming, you are stuck with it when you begin, need to be chosen. No time/100m etc available. Apple fitness integration. Pool swim recorded as open water swim in Apple Fitness. No detail on splits / sets available in Apple fitness. Just distance and heart rate during swim. So integration not working too well. iPhone application Coaching section looks ok but I’ve not tested it. There is only a high level summary available on swims: Distance, Duration, Pace (over whole session including rest), Calories, Average Heart Rate over whole session. So fairly useless to track how well one has done by set. Since I have a coach, cancelled subscription. Not useful for me.

Great app

Great app for when looking to get back in the pool after a few months off. Gives a structured plan and varies it up day to day!

Highly recommend

Brilliant app which not only looks great but works really well.
There are hundreds of expert designed workouts nicely separated into sections which you can select depending on your area of focus.
Features such as the pre and post pool mobility exercises are really helpful and something which I haven’t seen before on other workout apps.
Also, being able to see how far I have swam in total and how many workouts I have completed is extremely motivating and rewarding to see.
Overall, I would highly recommend this app to anyone at any level of swimming.

Great app

Was looking for fresh ideas for open water swimming and triathlon orientated sets. Really easy to use application and I particularly appreciate the feature that lets you know what equipment you will need for the session.

Would recommend this app to any swimmer that would like extra guidance and structure with their training.

Not “free” at all

To have access to any workouts on this app, you have to pay a pretty hefty subscription fee. There are no free swim plans and it’s a waste of time downloading unless you’re aware of and happy to pay their monthly subscription fee.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your input and want to clarify that our app indeed offers a free 7-day trial to allow users to explore all features, including premium workout plans. While we do offer a subscription for access to our complete library of workouts, we believe the diverse and effective content justifies the cost. We strive to provide a valuable swimming experience for our users. Feel free to take advantage of the trial to explore our offerings before making a decision. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at feedback@duoswim.com. Happy Swimming!

Fantastic!

A really engaging training app with a wide variety of sessions to suit all abilities and aims. I’ve used sessions from this app over the last couple of months and I’ve really started to see a big difference in my swimming already.

I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do come race time 🙌 highly recommend!!!

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear about the positive impact our training app has had on your swimming journey. It's fantastic to see your progress, and we appreciate your recommendation. Best of luck with your upcoming races!

Something for everyone

This app really covers all the aspects of swim training, for individuals of all levels. Choose a set with a specific focus or session duration perfect for those days where you just want to get a quick swim in. Or you can also choose to follow long-term structured training plans in the pool complimented by gym workouts specific to enhancing performance in the pool.

It takes away the hard and often time-consuming part of coming up with my own sets, allowing me to just focus on working towards my specific goal leaving no room for excuses.

The resources and knowledge this app provides just isn’t something everyone can have access to easily unless affiliated with a club or paying for a coach/personal trainer nowadays so having it all compiled into one space for such a reasonable price is like a dream come true - I love it!
