### 5/5 — Best swimming training

*2026-07-20, version 1.37*

I used this app ahead of my two marathon swims this summer and it was perfect.  Lots of good technique support, good distance building and the wee videos are really helpful. It syncs well with my Garmin watch and you can even send in videos for personalised analysis! If you want ultimate swim training without paying for a personal Coach this is it

### 5/5 — Swim training

*2026-06-30, version 1.35*

I have only started free style swimming proper since April. I found a great swim coach ( I tried many!) who I now have just dropped to using twice a month because eventually  I want my technique to get to a near enough perfect state. I started using Catch a month ago because I wanted to improve on stamina and having scripted sets makes pool swims more enjoyable. This combined with physicality of a in person coach keeps me on track and enables necessary tweaks in my technique. I am so impressed with the ease of use of the app and I genuinely feel like I am becoming a much stronger swimmer. Of course this stuff takes a long time , but it’s so good to feel like I am improving in myself and my swim coach sees a big difference. I have my first mile swim event this weekend and then catch is going to take me to my first 2 mile swim in September. Excellent app and thank you !

### 5/5 — Great app and support

*2026-06-27, version 1.34*

I’d been swimming lengths in the pool on repeat in training for my first outdoor swim event when I discovered Catch. And it’s been a game changer for enjoyment and improvement. I’ve come to swimming late after injuries and surgeries so am valuing the technique video’s and lessons, that gradually build knowledge and practice week on week. You can tailor it to your goals and adjust sessions depending on how much time you have week to week. When I’ve had questions about swimming or the app itself my messages have been replied to quickly and supportively. So what isn’t there to like! I’ve just completed the free month trial of Gold (thank you) - and have happily now subscribed to continue. Highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — My swimming has improved so much!

*2026-06-25, version 1.34*

I won some 1-2-1 coaching with Rebecca and immediately signed up to the app. It works well and sync.s with your watch so you can follow the plan in the pool. It counts the lengths and measures rest periods so it works really well for me. The plan works towards any events you have and I’m so pleased I’m almost considering not going to my Tri club training!!!

This was written a while ago and obviously didn’t post, so to update, I am getting a lot faster. I’ll update again when I’ve done my events!

### 5/5 — What are you waiting for!

*2026-06-19, version 1.34*

I cannot recommend Catch enough! I have tried every swim app under the sun and left them in under a month - I have now been with Catch over 4 months with no plans on leaving 🏊 it's such an incredible app, the videos are super helpful, the flexibility to be dreamed off and the community is just simply ace ✨ Catch got my through training and completion of a 10k swim but it's so versatile it suits any goal (even the super ambitions ones). You can tell it's an app made by swimmers for swimmers and that's what makes it even better! 🏆 once your caught they will have you hook line a sinker addicted to being in the pool! 🎣

### 5/5 — Easy to use and fun!

*2026-06-17, version 1.33*

Just started using Catch and finding it really easy to use and motivating! Much more fun and reactive to your personal goals and progress than written training plans. Great support too.

### 5/5 — Excellent swimming app

*2026-06-14, version 1.33*

I needed a training plan to get me ready for the Great North Swim 2 mile event and came across this app. Trialled it for free a couple of weeks and decided to purchase the gold subscription to make tailored plan. It has been excellent in improving my fitness and technique and I look forward to using it for my triathlon training and future swimming events.

### 5/5 — Fantastic workouts

*2026-06-11, version 1.33*

Varied and well structured workouts tailored to your goals. Started to feel the benefits after using the app within a month.

### 5/5 — The perfect swim coach!

*2026-06-10, version 1.33*

In 8 weeks training with Catch I’ve swum 28.6km, and feel so much stronger in the water. I’ve used a float, pullboy, flippers and hand paddles for the first time and feel like my technique has massively improved - as has my stamina. I never used to enjoy pool sessions but now find them a total joy. I do my technique sessions in the pool and longer sessions in the sea, all guided by Catch. The weekly lessons are fab and I love that I just do what it tells me and the time in the water goes so quickly. Fully recommend!!

### 5/5 — Simply the best!

*2026-06-03, version 1.32*

I’ve tried many swim coach apps and hands down this is the best! Simple, clear guidance, bespoke to my needs and the most helpful coaches and community.
