Problem
Coaching data for swim teams is fragmented across notebooks, spreadsheets, phones, and federation websites, making it difficult to connect insights across workouts, race results, wellness, and training load. Coaches spend significant time on administrative tasks like attendance tracking, report writing, and parent communication instead of focusing on athlete development.
Solution
MakoSwim provides an all-in-one coaching platform built specifically for swim teams, combining workout planning, race video analysis, wellness tracking, and performance analytics in one connected system. The platform features an AI assistant that knows each athlete's history and can plan seasons, take attendance, generate reports, and draft parent emails, with the coach approving every decision. MakoSets technology lets coaches write sets using their own terminology and abbreviations while automatically reading distance, stroke, energy zone, and intervals to count volume live per training group. Athletes check in via phone with sleep, energy, soreness, stress, mood, and session RPE data, which MakoSwim baselines against each athlete's own history to flag those below normal before warm-up.
Target Audience
Primary customers are competitive swim programs including performance centers, national federations, universities, and clubs that need to integrate coaching workflows with athlete wellness monitoring and performance analytics.
