ONPACE gives you a personalized swim plan built by coach Maria Rezhylo and a training program based on sports science, not guesswork. Whether you're chasing a PR, prepping for your first open water race, or learning to swim from scratch, your membership starts with a plan written for you — it lands within an hour of joining. YOUR COACH, YOUR PLAN Answer a few questions and get a program written around your level, your pool, your schedule and the gear you actually own. A new 4-week block every cycle, and every block builds on the last instead of starting over, so the work compounds. FIX WHAT'S ACTUALLY SLOWING YOU DOWN Send a video and get your technique reviewed frame by frame. Your coach marks the exact moment something goes wrong and tells you how to fix it, with side-by-side comparisons so you can see the difference. TRAIN WITH SOMETHING EVERY DAY On top of your plan: a daily workout, a drill of the day and a reel from real coaches — there's always something to swim. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Log every session and watch the yardage, pace trends and streaks add up. Earn badges, join coach challenges, and stay honest with yourself when motivation dips. A COMMUNITY THAT SHOWS UP Share your wins, ask questions, and celebrate the milestones that matter with swimmers chasing the same things you are. BUILT BY REAL SWIMMERS ONPACE was created by Maria Rezhylo — 2x NCAA All-American, Deaf World Record Holder, and former member of Ukraine's National Paralympic Committee.
