Yes. Swim is available in Portuguese (Brazil) and English. Change your language anytime from your Profile.

Yes. Coaches and parents can add multiple swimmers and switch between them. Each swimmer has their own training, meets, goals and best times.

Each profile summarises total distance, training time, number of sessions, medals won, best times by stroke, and the latest meet results.

Go to Training and tap New session. Add the date, distance, duration and your set breakdown or notes.

In Training, use Import .FIT. To get the file, open the activity in Garmin Connect, click the gear icon and choose Export (a .FIT file). Swim reads distance, duration, heart rate and SWOLF automatically.

They describe training intensity: A0 recovery, A1 easy aerobic, A2 aerobic threshold, A3 anaerobic threshold. The calculators can suggest target paces per zone.

HR is your heart rate during the session. SWOLF (strokes + time) measures swimming efficiency — lower is better. Both are filled in automatically from a Garmin import when available.

Open Meets, create a new meet, then add each swim with its event, entry time and — after racing — the result time and place.

Yes. You can import meets and swims from a meet-program PDF, or copy an upcoming meet straight from the public meet calendar.

FINA points score a performance against the world standard for that event, so you can compare swims across different events and distances. Swim calculates them for your results.

Mark a meet as Masters and your results are tracked against Masters standards and records rather than open/professional ones.

In Goals, set a target time and deadline for an event. Swim shows how close your best swum time is to the target.

Progress is how close your best time is to the target: 100% means you've hit or beaten it; 0% means your best is roughly twice the target or slower. The number shows the gap in seconds — negative means you're ahead.

Best Times are drawn from your swum meet results, by stroke and pool length. Each one also shows the gap to the world record.

World, Olympic, World Junior, continental and national records, for both long-course (50m) and short-course (25m) pools, men and women.

Records are synced weekly from World Aquatics (FINA), so they stay current automatically.

Two tools: intensity zones (target paces for A0–A3 from a reference time) and FINA points (convert a time to points and back).

Swim gathers recent stories from trusted swimming sources and publishes a short summary in Portuguese, with a link to the original article. New items are posted automatically twice a day.

Upcoming swimming competitions with their dates, locations and entry deadlines. You can copy any of them into your own meets.
