## What is Q Swim?

Want to swim faster without getting wet? Improve your mobility and strength  in key areas just like our Olympic champions!  Learn what could be slowing you down, and be guided how to improve from Australian Swimming Physiotherapist - Tom Barton.

To go faster, swimmers need to minimise their drag forces whilst maximising power generation.  The Q Swim app helps you assess, track and address body position out of the pool in order to improve performance in the pool.  
 
A key feature of the Q Swim app, is the ability to quickly measure and compare swim screen photos with an “ideal example”.  Coaches and athletes can identify particular restrictions out of the water, and correlate these with issues they are having in the water.
 
Coach and swimmer can then use this information to select an appropriate intervention that aims to improve this restriction.  The success of the intervention can be reviewed using the same feature on the app.  With improved position and awareness, the athlete’s body is optimised for training and competition, leading to improved performance and less injury.
 
Users of the app can create and download customised pre-swim warm-up routines that target the entire body across 4 different challenge levels.  By introducing the relevant pre-swim routine, an athlete will develop improved body position and control on land and this will readily transfer into the water.
 
The app will continue to deliver the best and most up-to-date educational resources, covering topics like coaching, physiotherapy, physiology, and skill acquisition.

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2024-12-03, version 1.6.9*

This app started well, but a few months ago all I got was 2 spinning squares in the middle of the screen. Contacted the developer to offer them an opportunity to resolve the issue but no response. Subscription cancelled.

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work

*2024-07-22*

I used to work with a colleague of Tom’s, and signed up for the app when I stopped. It worked great for awhile but now the app doesn’t work. I try to open PDFs, adjust my account info, and nothing loads.

I would update my review and renew account status if the app began working again.

### 1/5 — Unable to register

*2022-03-01*

Have tried multiple times to register, unable to get past the Home Screen as the dots just keep spinning…have tried to email them directly but so far have not yet received a response.

### 1/5 — Rip

*2022-01-25*

This app does not let you login, has no support and has been billing me for a year and I can’t stop it! Stay away

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2021-10-01, version 1.6.1*

Fantastic app!! A must have for all swimmers

### 5/5 — Makes an Impact

*2021-09-21*

We have had some issues when we first tried the app back in 2019.  Did not always work as advertised.  Updates have helped immensely.  One of the best parts of this app is the athletes can see and measure their improvement.  Very swimming specific.  Definitely recommend

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2021-09-05*

How can I even evaluate this app if I can’t even get past intro screens? Birthday is filled in and not editable. Wants a parent email but I’m 58 years old. And can’t get to next screen unless you fill useless info.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
Sorry to hear you had troubles using Q Swim and think it is worthless.
The parent email information is there to protect kids in the sport. 
You don't need to fill that out if you are 58. 
All the best

### 1/5 — Major problems

*2021-06-30, version 1.5.8*

After payment of a 12 month subscription I cannot get past the initial subscription screen. If I click on Subscribe it states I’m already subscribed. If I click on Cancel then I’m back on the Subscription screen. 
When I try to load on the family iPad it asks for subscription again, ie Family Sharing is not recognised. 
It needs to be fixed or my money refunded.

### 4/5 — Great App needs more content

*2020-05-22, version 1.5.2*

This a great app for swimming coaches, S&C coaches and athletes. Would be an even better app if there was more content on why those specific tests are chosen, why their important in swimming and implications of poor ROM in any of the movements. Overall great app

### 5/5 — Awesome for swimmers and Physio’s

*2020-04-14, version 1.5.2*

Anyone looking to improve their joint range of motion (based on Swimming Australia guidelines) should get this app. It’s a great way to monitor ranges and individually customise a program to improve on deficits!! Options also to use inbuilt programs for a squad with progressive levels!
