Speedo International launched “Swim Coach,” a free digital coaching tool with over 200 workouts designed by elite Speedo athletes, coaches and collaborators to help fitness enthusiasts reach their fitness goals.
Swim Coach was developed to improve fitness through swimming by providing free swim programs for swimmers of any level. Focusing on the individual’s ability and end goal, Swim Coach enables fitness enthusiasts to increase their endurance, burn calories, increase speed or improve their technique.
The digital Swim Coach is accessible anywhere, on any device, and does not require an application. It can be downloaded and printed or saved as a program to take to the pool. The online coaching platform assesses time restraints and swimming ability, then provides many different workout options, with step-by-step instructions and information about the elite coach who developed the training plan.
The training plans were developed by athletes and coaches such as professional cyclist Richie Porte and former elite swimmer Mark Foster. Swim Coach plans are also tailored to support other sports and fitness activities like cycling, yoga and triathlon.
Speedo VP of Product and Marketing Jamie Cornforth said, “Swimming is a great way to increase fitness and endurance while burning calories, and we’re delighted to offer swimmers this unique online coaching tool which focuses on helping people reach their swim fitness goals.”
