Also think good not great
1. I wish you could restart a set. I paused to fix my cap and then it threw off the timing of my whole set and then I was constantly behind. I believe you can pause but by time I unlock the watch and pause it, it’s also hard to get back to the right timing.
2. When doing an open swim, I use “add” because it doesn’t always capture the drills but then when I finish the workout, it excludes the added distance. Super annoying. They need to fix this or add a drill function.
3. Doing a training plan means you have to commit to the days you say you’ll train. As someone who swims during lunch, sometimes I can’t get to the pool as planned. You can click back through the week and do the workouts, but I wish it would only progress me through the plan on days I actually log a workout.
4. I wish they had the option to edit a workout. I want to change the intervals or stroke and you can’t do that.
But I do like the workouts. I wish you could search the entire library including the training plans because I don’t need that much support. I would rather search by distance and type of workout and then edit it how I want. I wish there was more variety in the strokes as well.
I also love that it has dry land and the workouts are great. That’s one of the reasons I came here from swim.com and myswimpro. The ai coach isn’t helpful but to be fair, I was a club swimmer and swam college so I need more fine tuning to my stroke. Maybe it’s better for someone who is newer.
Also it’s fairly accurate with being able to tell when I’m kicking with a board (not without a board though) and none of the other apps I’ve tried can do that.
Overall it’s a good app and I do recommend it.

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback and for supporting DuoSwim! There are some really useful suggestions here, especially around restarting sets, manually added distance, making training plans more flexible, and giving swimmers more control to edit and search workouts. These are all areas we're looking at as we continue improving the app. It's also great to hear you're enjoying the workouts and dryland training, and that our kick detection has worked well for you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback. It genuinely helps us make DuoSwim better.

Don’t update until you’ve completed your current training plan
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the confusion. We recently updated and improved parts of the training plan experience, which included renaming and restructuring some plans in the latest version to make the workouts and overall experience better. Your Freestyle Bootcamp plan has now been renamed to “Freestyle Foundations.” If you message us through the in-app support chat or at support@duoswim.com, we’ll help you find the updated plan and continue from where you left off. 🏊
