Splash is the fitness swimmer's companion. Log every swim with distance, time, and automatic pace calculation. See your improvement over weeks with pace trend charts that show exactly how many seconds faster per 100m you've gotten. SWIM SMARTER Stop guessing what your pace is. Log your total distance and time - Splash calculates your pace per 100m (or 100y) instantly. See your pace trend improving week over week. The numbers don't lie. STRUCTURED WORKOUTS Ditch "swim back and forth for 40 minutes." The pre-built workout library gives you 15+ structured sets across four goals: - Endurance (build distance and aerobic base) - Speed (intervals and sprint work) - Technique (drills that fix your stroke) - Triathlon (open water prep and race simulation) Each workout includes warm-up, main set, and cool-down - with intervals, rest periods, and coaching notes. Structure = improvement. QUICK LOG IN 60 SECONDS You can't use your phone in the pool. Splash is built for post-swim logging: distance, time, stroke, pool size - done in under a minute. Auto-calculates your pace. Shows your running total for the week. PACE CALCULATOR Planning a race? Enter your target distance and time. Splash shows you the exact pace you need to hold, your current pace gap, and the training approaches that will close it. POOL LOG Track every pool you swim at. Lane counts, water temp, best hours, 25-yard vs 50-meter notes. Build a library of your pools. DISTANCE TRACKER Every kilometer adds up. The cumulative distance tracker shows your annual total with fun milestones: "You've crossed the English Channel and back." Every lap counts. AI SWIM COACH Stuck in a pace plateau? The AI coach (powered by Grok) gives personalized advice based on your logged sessions. Technique troubleshooting, workout recommendations, plateau-breaking strategies - on demand. DRILL REFERENCE Full reference library for freestyle drills: catch-up, fist drill, fingertip drag, side kick. Know what each drill teaches, how to do it, and when to use it.
