### 5/5 — Is Good

*2026-05-31*

Pls Make A Ahonter World in the is 50m Pool a please? Make a race in the swimmers nit to swim 400,800 and 1500m Freestyle

### 5/5 — One of the best games out there but could use some updates

*2026-01-01*

The game is nice and fun but it’s very outdated. I swim competitively and this is super fun and immersive. It’d be nice if more things were added. For instance longer events like the 400 im or 400 free and beyond. Another suggestion are relays or different swimming formats like lcm or scy. Make it so your swimmer is able to go faster than the current world record in these events.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-12-08*

This is the best game I have ever played especially to swimmers like me it so fun and I hope this because a big game and it’s very worth it

### 5/5 — Bosh

*2025-06-04*

Needs to add woman in there asap

### 5/5 — Update please

*2021-07-13*

Update this game please! Or make a sequel like Dive Champ. This game is amazing! I have a few suggestions- long course! there should be a separate menu where we could compete in a 50-meter Olympic sized pool. Also, open water swimming. Up to 5K, swim the same as in the pool, but instead of turns at certain points you have to maintain your energy (new mechanic) that you can get on boat checkpoints. New events- 400 , 500, 800 and 1650 Freestyle events. 400 IM as well. Great game!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2019-08-05*

This game is so fun to play! I think you should make a track and field game, it would be helpful with the PBS and splits that you have! Thanks!

### 2/5 — Champ swimming

*2018-08-13*

Good game except it freezes all the time

### 5/5 — Customization

*2016-08-13*

It's good but I think you should be able to customize your swimmer's name and for the swimsuit add neon yellow suits. Also in options you should be able to customize the arena. Also on customize swimmer ad Michael Phelps brand.

### 5/5 — Great app, suggestions

*2015-07-29*

Great great app! I've found myself putting countless hours into it. Although there is a bug that I've noticed. In practice mode I can't swim distances longer than 400m because the app crashes if I do. Also, you should add more distance in events, like the 200m Fly and stuff. Another thing I would really enjoy would be increasing the level cap. I only say that because sometimes you need an extra boost so you put your level up points into your strokes but then because of that your lung capacity or something suffers. So personally in conclusion, I'd like to see more events and more distances for each event, and an increased level cap. And to be able to practice longer than 400m. Seriously though, this is probably the best game I've played on my iPhone. :-)

### 5/5 — Update this game!!

*2014-07-15*

This game is the best swimming game here, but it needs a few improvements considering it has never been updated. Here are some ideas.
1) Add more events. This game could use longer events, like the 200's of each stroke, the 400 IM and distance freestyle.
2) Add a long course option. This would give the game an Olympic feel, and you could add world records for your swimmer to strive for.
3) Make a career mode. I know this game is technically a career mode, but you could use a career mode where you start as an aspiring age group swimmer, and work your way up to an Olympian.
4) Finally, could you make more realistic splits. I am a competitive swimmer, and I know that the splits of the 25's would not all be the same.

This is a great game for all ages, and I hope that people realize that.
