No more standing at the end of the lane wondering what to do. You've already got the goggles. This is the part that makes them worth putting on. A NEW SESSION, EVERY TIME Tell FLOTO your distance, your focus and how you feel, and it writes a structured session in seconds. Warm-up, main set, drills and warm-down, with clear intensities from easy to race pace. Sessions are created by record-holding Masters swimmers, so the structure is the real thing, not guesswork.

TAKE IT BEYOND THE POOL Open Water mode builds sessions for the lake, sea and river, with difficulty levels from Cruise to Race pace. Sighting, pacing and endurance work, written for water without walls or a black line.

LIVE MODE Put the session on your phone or Apple Watch and swim it, don't read it. Big, glanceable sets that keep you moving from rep to rep. YOUR PROGRESS, IN NUMBERS Every metre counts.
