La Petite Baleen has been serving the Bay Area with Pace, Pattern, Compassion, and Fun since 1979. A family owned and operated swim school designed to teach life skills through swimming. Out of their love for children, owners John Kolbisen and Irene Madrid developed their proprietary curriculum built on child development and how children learn. Through progress reports, phone conferences, newsletters, and knowledgeable staff, we educate and inform parents. We believe that aquatic child development extends beyond our swimming pools and into the heart of our families’ homes. With the SwimLPB app, you will now be able to access your swimmer’s progress and La Petite Baleen services easier than ever before. Access your account, search for available classes, receive important notifications regarding your class!

Where Power Meets Music. Tempace turns your training data into music that moves with you. During hard intervals, powerful beats drive your effort. As you recover, calm rhythms help you breathe and refocus. No buttons. No distractions. Just pure flow. Cycling Mode Connect your Bluetooth power meter and let Tempace read your watts in real time. When you push above your FTP threshold, energizing beats kick in automatically. Drop below threshold and the soundscape shifts into recovery mode. Running Mode Tempace uses GPS to track your pace. Run faster for intervals and the music intensifies. Slow down for recovery and the vibe relaxes to match your effort. Adaptive Music Control Your effort controls the soundtrack — automatically. Tempace switches between pumping and chill tracks based on your live power or pace data. Your Music Library Use your own playlists from Apple Music, or local files. Choose which tracks play during work intervals and which accompany your recovery. Strava Integration Import your cycling and running sessions from Strava. View detailed analysis with power, pace, and interval insights directly in Tempace. Interval Progress Tracking Track your performance over time. See how your 4-minute intervals evolve week by week and discover patterns in your training rhythm. Designed for Focus Tempace is made for athletes who train with purpose. Whether you’re outdoors on the bike or on the track, the app keeps you in flow — without ever touching a button. Get Started Free No subscription required.
