Our Patented Stroke Insights
Stroke Insights are Swim Smooth’s Patented Technology designed to help provide visual feedback on your stroke and quantifiable insight into which aspects of your stroke would benefit from improving upon. Stroke Insights gives you actionable advice on how to refine these aspects of your stroke to ensure you’re making continual improvement.
Essential Drill Video Library
For the first time ever, you can access Swim Smooth’s Essential Drill Library absolutely FREE and discover which drills do what and why for your enhanced stroke technique.
Fitness Tracking
The fitness prediction chart gives a day by day indication of your fitness and fatigue levels. It's updated daily from your training data to ensure you’re always training optimally.
Basic Session Library
Our Basic Session Library contains two of each of our Swim Smooth session types - yours to scale, download and complete to your heart’s content!
Session Roulette
The future has many paths, choose wisely. The concept is simple. Stop procrastinating and swim whatever session the Guru selects for you. It could be a CSS Session, maybe some Pure Technique or will you get a Red Mist Session ... only time will tell!
Basic CSS Calculator
The Swim Smooth Basic CSS Calculator allows you to input your 400 and 200 freestyle times to simply calculate your CSS pace per 100. Doing so allows you to determine a single pace benchmark that all other training zones can be based off. If this number improves, you can be assured that you’ll be well on the road to swimming faster over any distance above 400.
Dynamic Training Plans
Having the GURU create a Dynamic Training Plan specifically for your needs and goals is as simple as identifying whether you wish to complete a particular event (e.g. the Rottnest Channel Swim), train up for an event of a specific distance, or just set a program for general fitness and the simple goal of improvement.
Advanced CSS Calculator
In addition to the Basic Calculator, with the Advanced CSS Calculator the GURU will determine your Performance Predictions over a sequence of increasing distances and popular event distances, determine your 10 Week CSS Development Plan, calculate your Red Mist Cycles and allow you to save the information as part of your record such that every session you undertake will have the exact training pace determined for you to elicit the greatest gains.
Our Full Technique Session Library
Once you’ve started to swim your first few laps of efficient freestyle, it’s time to start incorporating the drills and technique work your learned in the 12-Step Learn to Swim Program into a more structured session. All of our sessions can be scaled to your needs - so don’t panic if you see a 3,000m Pure Technique Session upon first browse, this can easily be scaled down to something much more manageable whilst still retaining the essence of that session.
Remote Video Analysis
For years our Swim Smooth Coaches having being offering adhoc remote video analysis sessions for swimmers right around the world - from beginners to World Champions. Through the power of the GURU, we can now offer a much more insightful process, offering the very best of our world-renowned Swim Smooth Methodology to you wherever you are in the world. Connecting your devices to the GURU gives your Swim Smooth Coach a greater depth of information that they can draw upon to ensure you’re swimming much smoother in no time!
Remote Coaching with a real Swim Smooth Coach
What’s the next best thing to being able to visit one of our Swim Smooth Coaches worldwide? Have them coach you remotely via the power and support of the Swim Smooth GURU!
This highly anticipated feature will help to connect the digital and human coaching worlds here at Swim Smooth like never before, putting you in direct contact with one of our brilliant coaches who will be able to provide a range of online coaching services such as remote video analysis, stroke technique critique, training plan creation totally bespoke to your needs and review of your training as detailed within the Swim Smooth GURU.
Swim Type Guides
Follow these step-by-step processes to work on your individual stroke faults in the most optimised way possible. Because each Swim Type has a different level of experience (and often a distinct personality) you'll find we've set the level and tone of the sessions at the perfect level for you!
Fault Fixers
Here at Swim Smooth we believe in correcting the cause of the fault, not necessarily always the effect. For example, often when your arm crosses over the centre line at the front, this causes a scissor kick. Instead of getting you to do lots of kicking drills, we adjust your posture, which also has numerous other benefits to your stroke, not just correcting the crossover. Select the right Fault Fixer and get well on your way to efficient swimming technique in just one session!
Our Complete Session Library (1,000+ sessions)
With well over 1,000+ unique sessions covering over a dozen session types and infinitely scalable to your ability level, one thing’s for sure, you’ll never be at a loss to find the perfect training session for your needs! When used in combination with our Session Roulette feature or our Dynamic Training Plans to ready you for your next event, you won’t be stuck procrastinating over which session to do either - let the GURU decide for you!
Record Your Swims With an Apple Watch
Our algorithmic interpretation of your lap splits in particular is much better than the data you get from the Apple Workout app, plus, by logging within the GURU, you have access then to all of our other great content and features, many of which are entirely FREE.
Garmin users can connect their devices at the Routine level allowing Fitness Tracking via our Dynamic Training Plans.
Advanced Drill Video Library
For the price of about a single post-swim coffee per month, you can access our FULL Swim Smooth drill library to refine your stroke and improve your efficiency.
