Swimming Log App
Count the lengths once, keep them forever
No swim watch needed. When you climb out, log the distance, the time from the timer and the pool. If it was open water, drop a pin instead. The app keeps weekly distance, the longest swim and how many sessions you managed, so a training block is a number and not a feeling.
Distance, time, stroke and the pool. Open water gets a pin instead.
Also called a swim log, lap counter log or swimming journal.
The Swimming log, out of the box
One entry can hold several rounds โ each stroke with its own values โ and the stats break them out separately.
| Variable | Type | Stats shown |
|---|---|---|
| Distance ยท m | Number | Sum, Avg per week, Max |
| Stroke | Text ยท tracked individually | Own stats per value |
| Timer | Built in | Total time, per entry duration |
| Location | Built in | Pin or place, shown on the log map |
| Notes, photos, sketches, voice memos | Built in | Attached to any entry |
From install to first entry in a minute
Pick โSwimmingโ during setup
The log is created with the variables above and a few example entries so you can see how it works. Clear them with one tap.
Log as you go
Tap plus, fill in what you have, save. Timer, location, notes and photos are there when you want them, hidden when you donโt.
Let the stats accumulate
Sum distance sits on the log card, with the rest one tap away. Set a goal if you want a nudge.
Built for the way you actually do it
Distance per stroke
Each stroke is a round, so freestyle and backstroke metres are counted separately. The breakdown shows whether the weak stroke is getting any time at all.
Pool and open water in one log
Pool sessions carry the pool name; open water gets a location pin. The map shows every lake and bay you have swum.
Weekly distance without a watch
You know how many lengths you did. The per-week rate does the rest and sits on the log card.
Not just a form. A logbook that thinks with you.
The Swimming log is one log among many you can keep. Every one of them gets the same tools.
AI reads the pattern for you
Tap the bulb on Swimming and get a plain-language read of your trends, what changed recently, and a suggested next goal, built only from your own entries.
Goals, streaks and reminders
Set a target like three times a week, watch the rolling progress bar, keep a streak, and get a reminder at the time you actually log. The app learns that time from you.
A calendar heatmap per log
Every log has its own month view showing which days you logged. Gaps are obvious, consistency is visible, and one tap opens that day's entries.
Several strokes in one entry
One entry can hold a round per stroke, each with its own values, and the stats break them out separately.
Photos, sketches, voice memos
Attach a photo, draw a quick sketch, or record a voice note on any entry. They stay with that entry and come back on every device you sign in on.
Every entry on a map
Drop a pin or search for the place. Each log has a map view of everywhere you logged, and saved places open directly in Google Maps.
Search across everything
Find an entry by title, note or value across every log, filter by date or location, and jump straight to it.
Yours, offline first
Entries save on your phone first and sync when you sign in. No account needed to start, no feed, no one else sees your data.
Who keeps a swimming log
Fitness swimmers who want a weekly total, triathletes logging the swim leg alongside runs and rides in separate logs, open water swimmers keeping a record of lakes and temperatures, and anyone rebuilding after a shoulder injury who needs to watch volume.
It works for people who swim without a watch, which is most people in a public pool.
What a month in the water shows
Weekly distance against the session goal shows whether you are swimming or planning to swim. Distance per stroke exposes the avoided stroke. The longest swim is the marker for the open water event.
Water temperature and sighting notes on open water entries are the record you will want next spring.
Frequently asked
Does it count laps automatically?
No. Count them yourself or read them off the pool clock, and enter the distance. That is also what makes it work for open water.
Can I log sets and intervals?
Yes. Each set is a round: distance and stroke, with the rest in the notes. Or log the session as one total if you prefer.
Does it track pace?
Distance and duration are both saved, so pace is a division; a computed pace stat is on the wish list.
