AquaPlan is an iPhone and iPad app that builds a personal swim training plan for the pool and, with a connected Garmin account, sends the plan's swims to Garmin Connect, which syncs them to compatible Garmin watches. It is made for swimmers, triathletes and masters swimmers who want a structured workout for every session instead of improvising in the lane. YOUR PLAN FIRST, YOUR ACCOUNT LATER Answer a few questions about your goal, your training days and your pool. AquaPlan builds your personal first week and shows it to you before you create an account. Each week of your plan opens as you reach it; Premium unlocks every week in advance. A WEEKLY PLAN THAT STAYS CURRENT Your plan lists every swim with its sets, pace targets and day. Move a swim or replan a week and the plan follows. YOUR SWIMS ON YOUR GARMIN After your plan is saved, a short setup step connects your Garmin account. With Premium, AquaPlan sends the swims of your plan to Garmin Connect when you start and sends changed swims again, so they can appear on your Garmin calendar and sync to your watch. Which watches receive them depends on Garmin device support and Garmin Connect. When you finish a swim, the activity comes back into AquaPlan and is checked off your plan. BUILD YOUR OWN SWIM WORKOUTS Create sessions with warm-up, drills, main sets and cooldown. Add repeat groups, rest and pace targets per 100, while total distance and estimated time update as you build. 200+ CURATED SWIM WORKOUTS Browse more than 200 curated workouts for beginners, masters swimmers and triathletes, from technique and endurance to threshold and sprint. TAKE IT TO THE POOL Export a workout as a PDF or as a FIT file for a compatible device. SEE YOUR PROGRESS After a connected Garmin swim syncs, review distance, pace, SWOLF, consistency and personal records. Achievements come in tiered series from Bronze to Diamond. WHAT YOU GET WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION Build workouts, browse the whole library, follow your plan one week at a time, keep one saved plan and try one Garmin or FIT export. Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription that adds every plan week in advance, sending your plan to Garmin Connect, unlimited saved plans and full history. You can manage it in your App Store account settings. AquaPlan is made for swim training, not medical advice. It does not promise a performance result. Garmin is a trademark of Garmin Ltd.
