Swim training
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 !

Great app and support
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.

My swimming has improved so much!
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!

What are you waiting for!
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! 🎣

Easy to use and fun!
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.
Excellent swimming app
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.

Fantastic workouts
Varied and well structured workouts tailored to your goals. Started to feel the benefits after using the app within a month.
The perfect swim coach!
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!!

Simply the best!
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.
Why Didn’t I Sign Up Earlier?!
Catch has really helped me improve my swimming whilst also encouraging to train three times a week! The videos have helped me improve my technique and I have definitely got faster since joining. It is easy to use and to integrate with Strava and smart watches to record your swimming.
This has been a real life changer for me and I really would recommend Catch to anyone looking to move their swimming to the next level.

Best swim training app
I absolutely love Catch! It’s such a good app, really easy to use and understand the training sessions. I have completely fallen in love with swimming all thanks to Catch!
Transformed my front crawl
Can’t believe how much this app, the coaching tips and videos has improved my swimming. I thought I’d need someone to teach me in person but just watching the guidance, practicing the drills and thinking about the tips whilst doing it has already improved my front crawl so much. Delighted!
Easy to follow
Loving it so far, easy to follow tips and sessions before my training swims
5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve really loved using the Catch Swim app. The sessions are easy to follow and make getting in the pool feel much more purposeful rather than just swimming lengths with no plan. I’ve noticed a real improvement in my technique and confidence in the water. It’s motivating, well designed, and has made swimming something I genuinely look forward to. Highly recommend! 🏊♀️

Perfect app for swimming
Swimming is by nature a very technical discipline. It is surprising then that we have apps for running and cycling structured programs but not one to date that properly does the same for swimming. The answer is probably because it involves a lot of hard work to make this.
Catch Swim does this a whole lot more, incorporating structured plans but also embedded training videos and suggested drills to carry out with equipment- effectively performing several functions all at once. And costing less for a month than a 30 minute swimming lesson.
The team here have created something special and I can’t wait to see it continue to go from strength to strength. It’s an essential app for anyone wanting to move their swimming to the next level!

Transformative and Fun
I never learned front crawl as a child. In my 30s I signed up for a triathlon season that culminated in an Ironman. I got through it, but as it is for many people, the swim was by far the most intimidating part — being fit simply wasn’t enough.
After that I discovered Catch, and the app has genuinely transformed my clumsy front crawl into a far more efficient stroke. I only wish I’d had it in my pocket before that race.
Even better, it’s changed how I feel about swimming. What used to be my least favourite discipline is now my favourite. I actually look forward to my sessions — and unlike most fitness apps, Catch feels like it’s paying attention to me and exactly where my swimming is at.
Calling this Runna for swimming isn’t a bad elevator pitch. But it doesn’t really capture the full range of what Catch gives you…after all, where is the Runna technique content? Swimming is unique in that regard.
A phenomenal product, and now my go to app pre and post swim!

I am having trouble getting my garmin watch and the app on my phone to communicate.
My swimming has improved 🙌
I've noticed a big improvement in my swimming as a result of Catch. The sessions seem well suited to my level and I'm building up confidence week by week. They're constantly making improvements to the app and resources. One of the best features being the syncing with my Garmin watch so I don't have to manually upload sessions.
